Did I let today pass purposeless?

I have another house showing tomorrow morning. I have worked hard to get the house ready; cleaned the oven, the stove, the microwave, the bathrooms, vacuumed. Somewhere in there I started to get anxious, more anxious the more I cleaned.

I have to wonder as I evaluate how things have gone even since we bought this house or maybe even before that. I remember God making it very clear that He wanted us to move to Richmond and I believed it was for a purpose. At this point I would say I don't think we have achieved this purpose. So as this house has had over forty showings and most of the reasons people haven't wanted it have left me scratching my head, I have to ask myself, "Is God purposefully keeping our house from selling?"

I can't actually answer that question. I can tell you however that living knowing that this time here in Richmond is not permanent and we don't know if we have months or just weeks here, it changed how we face things. At first we pulled away. Then we started living life for all its worth not wanting to miss a thing.

I'm guessing you know where I am going with this. I see the parallel to our time on earth in all of this. I have lived as if I will be here forever and there will always be tomorrow. Well, there won't always be tomorrow and we don't know what day is our last so what am I doing with today?

There are people I know who don't have a personal relationship with Jesus that I know and I haven't done much to change that. There are friends that have been encouragement to me but I have not sought them out. There are those that are precious to me that I could be pouring into but so far the cap remains closed to that pitcher.

God has slowly been changing that these last few months. I feel our relationships getting deeper, our activities more meaningful and our minds being reshaped and redirected. Last night we had a neighbor over and after ward as we stood out front another neighbor came over and we had a great conversation as mosquito's had us for dinner but that didn't stop any of us from talking.

As God challenges me, I challenge you. Are you living your life as if tomorrow is garenteed? Are there people in your life that need to move up from the back burner, maybe a few to dos that need to be dusted off and finished? Where once I was a Scarlet O'Hara (there is always tomorrow) I am finding a new focus. Before today goes away, what was it's purpose and did I accomplish it. Did I let today pass purpeseless?
