Thirty-Three

I'm turning 33 years old tomorrow.

I've been doing some thinking about that particular age for a while now. Really, in any other circumstance, it would just be another number to me and I would be nothing more than another year older. Whoop Dee Doo about getting older. You're reading the blog of someone who had no problems turning 30! I'm just happy my parents let me live as long as they have. ;)

So, anyway, I've been thinking about this whole turning 33 thing. Ummm.....Jesus died when He was 33. What did He accomplish in 33 years on earth in a human body? What have I accomplished in 33 years on earth in a human body? Kinda' depressing, huh? I am not really depressed about it. Not really. I'm actually happy that God brought it up to me. It truly puts things into perspective. Have I been doing more playing and goofing off than I have leading souls to Jesus? Or, how about this.....In my playing and goofing off, have I led someone to Him? Ok. Let's break it down even more. In everything I do from the time I wake up in the morning to the time I go to sleep, every single day, am I trying to do it all for HIM and not myself?

Days make up years and years make up a lifetime. What are you doing with your life? Is it still "your" life or have you let Jesus buy it with His blood yet? Who's days and years are you using....yours or His?

Kinda' makes you think, doesn't it?
