Clubbin'

I can hear the beat and remember how my feet would never stay still. The sounds of the music moved me, even when I wanted to just chill. The hours would fly by and before I knew it, the sun was rising up in the sky. I slept through most of Sunday and rolled my eyes hard at Monday.

My past.

Reflecting on a time when I indulged the world with my very last dime. It was right for that time because my life was 'mine'. I didn't understand or know the importance of fortifying my soul. I wanted to party and that, was my ultimate goal. I didn't know that I needed to set parameters for the intricate parts of my life, I lived and partied, and rolled the imaginary dice. The purpose God had for my life, I did not know. I could not see it due to my yearning for the dance floor. Facing each new week, the excitement of the club dwindled slowly and little did I know, my partying could not keep me afloat, when the battles that are unique to life would come. All I could do was run and let the war rage on, no help from me. I was not free. I was unprotected because I lived life how I wanted, unaware of my purpose - self neglected. 

What is my point? Today many will lay in bed, instead of going to have their spirit fed. The talk will focus on how I fell down or got 'turnt up' but, even that will grow stale and eventually you will find that there is no one to tell, and your excitement for the night will slowly fade away. Your news of the night will become old news. Bored. Deflated.

Today is Sunday. Get out of the bed. Find a church and go sit in the pews, allow your soul to hear the Good News! It will sustain you, free you from worldly ways that make short your days, build yourself up in your most holy faith, crucify your flesh, and let your spirit soar. In this life there is SO much more, than clubbin. Find it. Live your life for your true purpose and not only for a mirage of a night.

Romans 12:2  Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed y the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
