Yeah, it's almost 11:00pm. Is that late? Nope. "Lindsey, you really should go to bed at a decent time." "Lindsey, you're going to be so tired in the morning." "Don't forget to pack your lunch for tomorrow, pack clothes to bring to mom's house, make mom a birthday card, and pick out an outfit for tomorrow. Oh, and don't forget your work clothes, Lindsey."
Blah blah blah blah.
Do you know pointless all of that stuff is? Very pointless.
I consider myself a decently organized person. I'm OCD about certain stuff, just like everyone else, but considering my schedule, I think I've adapted a fairly good way to keep everything together.
2 days at mom's.
2 days at dad's.
Work 2-4 days a week.
School 5/7 days a week.
Church 2/7 days a week.
My non existent social schedule.
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
Okay, seriously, Lindsey?
Do you hear yourself?
People are fighting for their lives right now.
Bending over in agony because they're starving to death.
Wishing they could take one more hot shower.
Saying goodbye to their dad as he is being deployed over seas.
Leaving to move to the other side of the world because their family are missionaries.
Longing to just say one last word to their sister before she dies of leukemia.
Lindsey....
Hear yourself.
Life will not end just because you miss your Poland friends.
Just because you're tired.
Or school might be annoying.
It's all just a matter of life. You "win" some, and you "lose" some.
Wronggggggggg.
You will win the battle if you have Jesus.
You will win any little flaw if you have Jesus.
You will win eternity if you have Jesus.
You know what that means?
You will win... IF YOU HAVE JESUS.
Jesus, man. Like seriously.
The Maker.
The Redeemer.
The Perfecter.
The Lover.
The Fighter.
The Conqueror.
THAT is what matters.
Jesus is what matters.
Got a 70% on that math quiz? Doesn't matter.
Your best friend doesn't talk to you for 2 weeks? Doesn't matter.
You dropped your phone in the lake at your cabin? Doesn't matter.
Spilt barbecue sauce all over your white shirt in front of your girlfriend? Doesn't matter.
Ran away from home because your parents wouldn't stop arguing? Doesn't matter.
JESUS IS WHAT MATTERS, MAN.
Learn it.
Love it.
Use it.
Because He gives you life.
No one else does.
He does.
He will love you more and more all the days of your life.
He is what matters.
