Blink

Teach me to number my days

And count every moment

Before it slips away

Take in all the colors

Before they fade to grey

I don't want to miss

Even just a second

More of this

It happens in a blink it happens in a flash

It happens in the time it took to look back

I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time

What is it I've done with my life?

It happens in a blink

It happens in a blink

When it's all said and done

No one remembers

How far we have run

The only thing that matters

Is how we have loved

I don't want to miss

Even just a second

More of this

It happens in a blink it happens in a flash

It happens in the time it took to look back

I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time

What is it I've done with my life?

~Blink by Revive

I love this song! Every time I listen to this song I am reminded to live life to it's fullest because it is short. I know I have posted about this before, but when I say "fullest", I am not talking about the world's definition of fullness, I am talking about God's definition. When I think of living life to it's fullest, I see myself falling more and more in love with Jesus, doing everything I can for the sake of God's glory and fame, diving into every opportunity placed before me with all my might, selflessly serving and loving others, and completely dying to myself and living for God. After all, God created me for Him and I hope and pray I can live that calling to it's fullest.

"Above all else I have one desire now - to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it." ~ Elizabeth Elliot

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. ~ Ephesians 5:15-17
