Highway Thoughts + My First Post on the Group Blog

-

A few days ago, I was going to a town about two hours away. While on the highway, my thoughts led me to contemplate how interstates compare to life.

I know that sounds a little odd, (you should have seen the look my mom gave me when I told her this. xD) but hang with me.

Think about the purpose of interstates. Chances are, if you're on one, you're not going to stay on it until it ends. You're going to travel it for a little while and then exit off. You're not there for the destination, you're there for the journey.

Now let's think about life. To a lot of people, it's about the outcome. Making all the money. Having the best job, biggest house, and nicest car. 'Climbing to the top'. In a sense, the destination.

But friends, joy isn't found it having it all. Joy is found in the journey. In the little, seemingly meaningless everyday occurrences that bring a smile to your face.

On the highway of life, we're not here for the destination. We're here for the journey.

What do you think about when you're cruising down the highway?

On a different note, my first post on the group blog that I recently became part of went live this week!  Click on the graphic above to check it out. :) 

Hope y'all have a blessed week. <3

    I love road trips. Listening to music, looking out the window and such. Often on road trips I think a lot. That doesn’t sound odd ... sounds close to somethings I’ve thought of :).

    So true. It's hard to think that way for me, but I should. Thanks for this. ☺

Just a Little Update.

As you've probably noticed, this blog's posts have dwindled and have consisted of only book reviews since Christmas. Not what I promised, was it? I'm here today to talk about some things that I've been contemplating—and putting off, if we're going for honesty—for awhile. Now it's official, though. The decision is made, I'm happy with it, and I'm here to make the announcement. Chosen Vessels is closing. Okay, so that sounds much worse/drastic than this is actually going to be, but the gist of it is true. Sometime in March, I'll cease to update this blog. It won't be disappearing entirely, but I won't be posting here anymore. As I strive to strengthen the content of my main blog and create a better online author presence, I've come to realize that it's too confusing—not to mention time-consuming—to keep up with two blogs. Instead, I'll be posting something encouraging and/or something God has been showing me 2-4 weekends...

"Mary, Did You Know?" ~ the Story and the Song

-

This song was sang at church during the Christmas play last week (the 13th). And it really got me to thinking. Did  Mary know? I mean, she knew who He was, but how much of what He would go on to do did she know?  Seeing as how this song was written by my favorite comedian, I decided to share the story behind it. :)  //The Song// Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will one day walk on water? Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will save our sons and daughters? Did you know, that your Baby Boy Has come to make you new? This Child that you delivered,  Will soon deliver you.  Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will give sight to a blind man? Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Would calm a storm with his hand? Did you know, that your Baby Boy Has walked where angels trod  And when you kiss your little Baby,  You've kissed the face of God?  Oh, Mary, did you know?  Mary, did you know?...

Sometimes...

Sometimes I dance to a song on the radio. Sometimes I stare off into midair for 7.56 minutes before noticing that I'm doing it. Sometimes I ramble off numbers that I just made up, numbers like 7.56. Sometimes I daydream in the shower. Sometimes I eat ice cream out of the carton. Sometimes I write stories so deep, dark, and dear to my heart that they will be forever hidden in a locked document, never to see the light of day. Sometimes I am very dramatic. Sometimes I fantasize about things that will probably never happen. Sometimes I dream that those things will actually be in my future.  Sometimes I watch sappy movies and read books that a lot of people would probably hate. Sometimes I reseal those little papers that band-aids are in so that someone will think there's still something inside of them. Sometimes it works and someone opens 9.2 of them before realizing they've been pranked.  Sometimes I write stories that leave me hurt and raw, and the...
