Project 52: Live Fully in the Now with Meaning

Each Monday this year, we shared a project that relates to being a Christian woman and living out our Titus 2 roles in real life. For more information about this feature, click here.

This week’s project is:

live fully in the now with meaning. It started when I read One Thousand Gifts…since then, I’ve been on a journey. A journey in my life where I am waiting, waiting, waiting. In the midst of the waiting, though, in my heart, I am seeking Christ. I am aiming to live each day to bring Him glory and live in the moment, fully, for Him.

Want to join me? Let’s commit from this point on, to live fully in the now. Live each moment as if it’s our last. Find meaning in today. Don’t worry about what happened yesterday, or what is in store for tomorrow, be present now.

While reading God’s Devotional Book for Women, I found a list titled Top 10 Ways for Keeping Your Life Meaningful

Here are some of the items on the list:

Care more about others than about things.

Give yourself to serve rather than to be served.

Store up treasure in Heaven rather than on earth.

Be content with what you have.

Do at least one kind deed every day.

Don’t allow yourself to be upset by little things.

Live in a constant state of prayer.

Join me on this journey!

This is going to be our last project for this feature.

Lord, help us to live today, eyes open wide, looking for meaning. Lord, our meaning and purpose is to glorify You and enjoy You forever. Help us to do this each and every day. Amen.

    I love the idea of living intentionally.I want to really be present, to be fully here.
    P.S. Sorry for the double link, I didn’t think it took the first time.

    Great reminder, Ashley. I kept this in mind as I took down the decorations today. I thought about all the blessings of 2011 and wondered what I’d be reflecting on when I unpack them in 2012.

    I came late to this series, but I’ve enjoyed it and hate to see it end. Looking forward to a new challenge!
