Life More Abundantly

I am going back to work.  Already I am organizing schedules and falling back into my routine.  Routine is good.  It is safe and predictable.  Safe and predictable is a good thing, right?  But I got a bug in my head lately.  Did you know that life was short?  It is so short.  I wonder what kind of life I will have.  I was thinking about this new decade and how already it will be 30 years that I have graduated from high school, this year.  I think I blinked and it all passed me by.  Somehow, all of these thoughts push me more toward writing, which is good because no matter what, I can't seem to stop. 

John 10:9-10 says:
"I am the door.  If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.  The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.  I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."

Now that I think of it, Santi and I attended and were married in a little church by the name of Abundant Life Tabernacle.  This moment, thinking of purpose and intention; thinking of passion and of life, I am sure that I want to live it abundantly.  God came so that I can live this live abundantly, plentiful and big.  If I'm mopping the floors, I'm mopping abundantly.  If I'm drinking tea, I'm drinking tea abundantly.  If I'm writing or dreaming or painting pictures in my head.  I want to do it abundantly.  I want to do this as an act of thanksgiving.  I want to do this to praise God.  I want to do this to show how awesome God gives life to those who believe in Him.  Not just regular ole routine life but abundant life, BIG HOT MESS LIFE.  I'm loving it!!! Praise the Lord!!!
