Life is for Sharing

I was in Fort Collins for the weekend and at church today the pastor showed a clip, I forgot what it was an advertisement for. But, at the end of it it stated: LIFE IS FOR SHARING!

Wow, did I feel like this hit me exactly where I have been lately. Longing again for a group to be a part of. I have friends, don't get me wrong, but there isn't a lot of people to do things with or hang with, a group experiencing day to day life together.

This phrase is beautiful: LIFE IS FOR SHARING! We should be sharing ours lives with each other, for our stories make us who we are and help us grow closer to GOD.

Yet, at the same time this phrase made me reflect back on my life. I have been so blessed to share and experience life with so many amazing beautiful people that GOD has brought into it. I love that through this new tool called Facebook GOD has reconnected me with so many who have been a part of my journey and story... those whom Life has been Shared from both sides.

And with my "40th" Birthday fast approaching this statement made me think about if I had any regrets in life.... Hmmm.... could only think of the fact that I wished I played softball and basketball throughout high school and....

I regret that I never really got a chance to get to know someone special that GOD brought into my life. I regret that they did not get to really see me and know me... I regret that we could not drop are walls of hurt and pain, and better yet fear... in order to be who GOD created us both to be. We both truly missed out on a the friendship I know GOD wanted, NO wants us to have. You never know what GOD may have in store for tomorrow... but as of now... I regret that we REALLY did NOT take the opportunity to live this phrase: LIFE IS FOR SHARING!!

I wonder if all of us in life hold back on sharing and truly experiencing it out of FEAR!! Why is that? After all, GOD did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7)

Lord, please give us the courage and strength to live life in a way that we share and experience You with each other.

After all: LIFE IS FOR SHARING!
