]"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.'" - Erma Bombeck

I'm learning my lesson.

So after 3 months of no written words, I have FINALLY decided to update. Shocker right!? Believe me, I am just as surprised as you. My life literally has been crazy lately. I spend more of my life running to different locations than I do sitting...or for that matter, sleeping. Let me tell you, I'm convicted. 

I always do it to myself. I always put 1385378490346742 things on my plate and expect everything to be A-okay, figuring that the Lord will supply every need. Of course he ALWAYS does, but man have I been taking advantage of Jesus. This is so NOT okay.

I absolutely LOVE getting involved with everything I possibly can. I love being able to enjoy life with others, and take every opportunity that comes my way.  I always tell myself that it is a perfect example to bring Jesus glory or minister to others, but after saying yes to everyone, I eventually spread myself WAY too thin. Who does that help then? no one.

I love this quote by Erma Bombeck. For the longest time I looked at it and thought solely God's given talent of dance in my life. I have realized now it's so much more than that. 

This time I got involved with way too much and it took Jesus saying "Okay Hannah, go ahead" for me to realize that boundaries are a necessity in my life. Talk to anyone that knows me and they will gladly tell you how stubborn I am. Unfortunately, it definitely took a few mental breakdowns and sleepless nights for me to understand that.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 
1 Corinthians 6:19-20

“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light."Matthew 6:22

You see, I am walking away from the light if I am not taking care of myself. If I am not sleeping eating, etc. correctly than I am not living in the light. What makes this worse, if I am a leader to people than I could quite possibly be leading them astray. YUCK. 

So, I'm discipling myself. My life has to change. I want to bring Jesus the glory that is due, and provide him with a beautiful temple to rest in. I want to stand in front of my Maker one day and exclaim, "I used everything you gave me."
