Every Moment Matters

Just wanted to check in here, and share something I've been thinking about, as I had promised a post for today.

I've been thinking about this perspective, for about a month now. And just as a casual reminder to myself, and to you guys, I thought I share. Currently I'm writing this from a little Airbnb in dingle ireland, right off the coast. There is a big window next to me, that gives off so much light, and that has a clear, view of the coastline. I've already had so many cups of tea, I'm starting to lose count. The air outside is so cold, it's soaking through the window glass, and is making me curl my feet further under me to get warm.

Things are quite lovely at the moment. 

Off the coast, a bit away from our Airbnb. Near Dingle, Ireland.

Let's reflect for a second. How have your day-to-day been for you lately? Good? Bad? If it's going more towards the second one, listen to this. Sometimes things get crap, and we have to take a moment to breathe. Sometimes, we have to take a step back from whatever we are doing, and think. Reflect. Deal. Or just cope. And that is okay. 

There is so much of life, that requires a moment. A moment of peace. Of reflection. A break from what we are going through. Everybody is going through something. We all have our battles, and are fighting something in our lives. It may sound cliché but it's true. 

Every moment Matters. Good or Bad. Those moments are apart of our lives. And there is something to gain, or learn from them.  

When we have horrible things going on, every moment of that, is still a part of our lives. Good or bad. We have the power to rise, and learn from those moments. Whether it's in the past, or it's something you're facing now. Remember this, next time you face something that shakes you. 

Every little moment, when combined together, make your life. All of it. Even the bad bits. In fact, It's the bad parts, that can make us appreciate the good parts, more deeply. 

There will be seasons of life where you'll question the possibility of good bits. Sometimes, we have to open our eyes to them to see them. Much of the time, they're already there, and are just hidden, not easily seen by to the heavy hearted. 

Be it a moment in time, a season, or years of bad bits, just know that it all will pass. There is something to learn in all of it. And most importantly, the bad bits can be used by God, to heal us, and teach us, in ways we can't even begin to imagine. 

Main point here:

Bad moments and good moments, are still moments of your life. And they have purpose. They're battles, struggles, stories unique to you. They help to shape who you are. 

The bad ones, help us recognize and fully appreciate, the good ones. 

And the good ones, make life worth living. 

Our lives, and every moment we face, can be quite beautiful, if we let it.

I mean it.

Your life is full. Full of lessons, of heartache, and full of moments that make us who we are. 

It's all in the perspective we have, the gratitude we gain, and the faith that God can turn it into something worth celebrating.  

It all matters. 

Every moment. 

love,
