Remember the Bon Jovi song, "It's My Life"? In it he says, "It's my life; it's now or never 'cause I ain't gonna live forever. I just wanna live while I'm alive."
Yes, don't we all? Regardless of the economy and the oil spill, we just want to stay in control. Like Tom Petty, we want to say, "Well, I won't back down. No, I won't back down. You can stand me up at the gates of hell, but I won't back down." That's called perseverance. We need that to live our best life yet.
If we don't put any limits on ourselves, we can turn around any situation. It's all about attitude. Joel Osteen says, "It's time to stretch." It's time to believe that we are blessed and will continue to be blessed.
It's our time. It's our life. We have the wisdom, strength, and talent to live the good life. If we put our faith in God and believe in Infinite Wisdom, our lives will change for the better.
Yes, it's my life, but I need all the help I can get. I'm ready to be directed by a Higher Power that is Absolute Good. I'm ready for Divine Wisdom and Great Light and Love. I'm ready for joy and peace. I want a life that is richer and fairer than anything I could ever imagine.
So while I know it's MY life, I'm ready to place it in the keeping of the Supreme. Only then will I absolutely know that everything is going to be all right. "Come unto Me....and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) I need that peace. It's My Life, but I gladly turn all my affairs over to You, Lord.
Love and Light,
Patty

LOVE your blog. I happened upon it from alonganarrowway. I look forward to following!
I love the subject here - yes, it's our life. But what many fail to realize is that it's all a gift, that we were created for His purpose & if we are true believers, our driving purpose is to fulfill what He has called us to do (we all get to the stage in our lives at some point where we begin to ponder "why am I even here") - otherwise, we feel empty & unfulfilled. I love my life since I've done that & He has blessed me richly since I COMPLETELY surrendered in Feb. 10 (ya know...not holding on to things still!). I know challenges aplenty await me b/c of the way life ebbs & flows...but THIS time, I'm just not worried about it. "It is what it is" has become my mantra...for I know it ALL lies in HIS hands. Whatever days of my life He gifts me with...yes, it's my life...but definitely my life to fulfill for Him. I'm simply an instrument for Him to reach others.
So with that, I invite you to visit & follow my blog (quietministires.blogspot.com) & welcome your comments.
