My Life

As we all continue to live day-to-day in our busy routine, it's good to just step back and stop and look at the big picture of all that is going on. It is beneficial to get a fresh, new perspective on life every once in a while. Our lives are like the city streets of Chicago where it is busy and loud and congested at times and when you're on the streets you can't see what the whole city looks like. Then you hop in the elevator and take it to the 95th floor of the John Hancock building and you see the city from a new perspective. You begin to see different buildings and how everything has been laid out. There is some order and organization after all, we just hardly ever see it.

I think that is what our lives are like. The majority of our time is spent on the busy streets (work, family, school, etc.). It's loud and busy and feels pretty congested at times. So we need to pull back every once in a while and take time see the whole picture. To go back to the basics and ask ourselves why we do what we do? Who has God created me to be? To pull back and realize that there is some order and plan to our lives. God has designed us on purpose to carry out a plan only we can carry out.

At GCC we have started a new series call My Life. We are going up to the 95th floor and asking some basic questions for the next 5 weeks. The topic of week 1 was My Heart. It was about realizing that what we do matters. We are called to do the right thing. I am. You are. Not that guy over there or the next person in line. You. Me. We need to intential about what we do and take advantage of the time we have now. What we do matters. Are we living that way?
