Its finally the Weekend!


Time to relax, unwind and hopefully act on those big plans you have been making all week. Whether you're working Monday thru Friday, or working some odd schedule, you're always looking forward to your day off. We are working for the weekend. Waiting for the weekend.... And sometimes being miserable all week.
How are you spending your week? The weekend is not promised to anyone. As a matter of fact your next breath is not guaranteed. Are you spending your time looking forward to the time to come? Are you living, really living Monday through Friday?

I love weekends. I am guilty of putting things off for the weekend knowing very well I could do it today. And how often haven't we heard that saying? Why leave for tomorrow what you could do today?
Today, Friday, I urge you to stop putting things off. Stop living in the future and daydreaming about what the weekend may hold. Live Today. It may be the only day you have.

Reach out to others. Text, call, email... Love today. Go to the beach today. Enjoy your partner, your kids today. Hit the gym or at least take a stroll in your neighborhood. Read that book, take that class. Dont cook, go out for dinner in your backyard under the stars. Enjoy what's around you right now. Whatever you're putting off do it Now!

If you're reading this, you are present and able on this day. Why keep waiting for days that may never come?
Live today to your full potential. Laugh. Let go of grudges and fear. If you're stuck at work, change your perspective. Be thankful. Smile. Help somebody. Enjoy what you have and where you are on the way to where you're going. 

Since it is the weekend go out and live it. Go do those things you've been putting off. That date, that dinner, that treat for your kids, those flowers for a loved one. But remember if you spend 5 out if 7 days looking forward only to 2... How much of your life are you wasting waiting instead of living. Make everyday a weekend!

(please forgive me today as I'm under the weather and the influence of Dayquil, but due to this topic, I couldn't wait to post it another day!)

Write The Vision

Habakkuk 2:2 Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For so long I've held on to that verse! and to the vision I felt God gave me long ago. 10 years ago to be exact when I found the one whom my soul loves- and the one in whom I have freedom, and an abundant life. Since that time, I knew He would use every broken detail, every lonely night, every painful story in my life- for His glory. and there is nothing that I desire more then to allow Him to do so. I started my blog at theworldaccordingtomeli.blogspot.com 6 years ago, to move in that direction. & to encourage others with what happened in my world and what God is always teaching me. But for a while now I feel it limited it to me, and to my world exclusively. because I don't live for me, I have used the hashtag on my instagram for years now: #LiveForMore I truly believe my life did not begin...

Bye Twenties, Hello 30!

As I sit here on the last day of my twenties, I have had a lot of time to look back in awe of what God has done and only be grateful for the life I have lived so far!  I used to look at 30 as such a significant milestone and honestly even one where my youth is fading, yet lately I am embracing it and looking forward to all God holds as all my expectations for my 20s blew me away! Lately, I know every day is a gift to be lived at it's fullest. It's an opportunity to seek more of Jesus, love others and bring Him glory in all I do. And thats exactly what I plan to do in my 30s as well.  I started my 20s being a mother of an active 1 year old boy, and celebrating 5 years of marriage. To say we took the fast track is an understatement. We lived at my parents house and only looked forward to home ownership. That was accomplished! We became home owners and parents of another baby girl by the time I was 23. At the same time, my life was radically changed when ...

Running the Race

In the past few months, a lot has changed. The biggest has been me finally tackling my weight and being successful at losing 30 pounds so far. I have been eating healthy and even tried cross fit as my workout. It was intense and there were things I'd never thought I'd do but everyday I pushed myself a little more and pushed my body to new limits. My least favorite thing to do and probably the most painful; the one thing that pushed my lungs and legs to the point of puking, was running. So I found the verse Hebrews 12:1 and used my spiritual race as a reminder of how much to physically push myself to persevere and to "run" as well. Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus,  the pioneer and perfecter of faith" - Hebrews 12:1-2 However, this week as this verse ...
