Last year really was the year that I found my zen. I was blessed to be graced with the giant chill pill that is biblical perspective. I no longer stress about the day-to-day events that others around me do. I'm really just starting to put things in their proper place.
"If eternity is the plan, then it makes no sense to shrink your living down to the needs and wants of this little moment" -Paul David Tripp
Though this newfound outlook on life brings me more peace, it also brings me more frustration, as I struggle when others around me make mountains out of molehills. A scripture from the book of Matthew comes to mind.
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." -Matthew 6:19-20
The tiny worries that pepper our days usually don't matter in the big picture. I want to make sure that I keep an eternal perspective, and pray for patience with those around me who don't have one yet. After all, it took me 38 years to find it!
