an amazingly simple revelation

So it just occurred to me yesterday that (bear with me, yes I know this is going to sound really stupid) I am supposed to be living my life for God. I mean I guess I had always had the thought that my life will be in order because I am following God. And I expected my life to be all in order and well if I was following Him and living my life according to His will. I guess I expected my life to be easy as long as I am following Him. But yesterday it occurred to me, that it's not even about me! It's about Him. I don't know why it took me this long to see this but I am so glad I finally did. Furthermore, no one ever said life as a Christian was easy, no one ever said that if you follow God, everything will be just peachy. Life will still be hard, if not harder because of the increased responsibility we now have as Christians. So from here on out, I am making it my first and foremost priority in my life to forget about myself and simply follow God's will for me. I realize that there will be good times and bad times, hard times and easy times, rich times and poor times, but my faith in God will never change. For I will never be alone, and you see it was never really about me anyway.

By the way, Quantum of Solace is ridiculously awesome. You should go see it. Oh and the fact that Daniel Craig did almost all of his own stunts officially makes him the best Bond ever!
