Must Have Done Something Right

I have heard this song so many times, but each time I hear it, I can't help but think how amazingly cool and fun it would be to sing this at my wedding with my future husband, a little duet with actual jerseys and everything. :D

RELIENT K | Must Have Done something Right

We should get jerseys ‘cause we make a good team
But yours would look better than mine, ‘cause you're out of my league
And I know that it's so cliché to tell you that everyday
I spend with you is the new best day of my life
Everyone watching us just turns away with disgust
It's Jealously, they can see that we've got it going on

And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know your more to me than what I know how to say
You’re ok with the way this is going to be
This is going to be the best thing we've ever seen

If anyone can make me a better person you could
All I got to say is I must have done something good
I came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I got to say is I must have done something right
I must have done something right

Maybe I'm just lucky ‘cause it's hard to believe
Believe that somebody like you'd end up with someone like me
And I know that it's so cliché to talk about you this way
But I'll push all my inhibitions aside
It's so very obvious to everyone watching us
That we have got something real good going on

And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know your more to me than what I know how to say
You’re ok with the way this is going to be
’Cause this is going to be the best thing we've ever seen

If anyone can make me a better person you could
All I got to say is I must have done something good
I came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I got to say is I must have done something right
I must have done something right

Be consistent.

My friend Nick shared something with me recently, a revelation he sort of came to. It's such a simple yet profound truth:

"If we want a consistent walk with God, we have to be consistent."

It's so true. We often think that maintaining a close relationship with Jesus is difficult and complicated. But all it takes is consistency, a regular habit of spending time with Him. Each time we skip a day or forget to talk to Him or read His word, that puts us *that* much farther from Him. He is always there, always close, but we've got to do our part to recognize His presence and to stay close to Him ourselves. If we put off one day of personal devotion, then it makes it only easier to put off a second day and a third day, etc. Before we know it, we don't even remember what it felt like to be walking hand in hand with Him, and the *desire* to know Him is decreased so we don't even realize how far away we are from Him. It's a dangerous slippery slope and Satan wants us to slip and fall, but only God can keep us standing.

Listening to God.

I met a guy on the street today that I am certain God led me to.

I was waiting on the street corner to meet a friend for dinner and there was a guy playing an old beat-up guitar and I kept feeling impressed to talk to him. But I kept telling myself, "Well, my friend will be here any minute. I don't have time to talk to him now." Then my friend called me and said she was running late and wouldn't be there for 5-10 minutes. I took that as an obvious sign that God really did want me to talk to this dude. So I went up to him and asked what song he was playing. He said it was called, "Satan Lies to the World." I asked if he was a Christian and he said he was, and then I noticed he was wearing a cross necklace. So I said, "Hey, me too." And he said he had noticed because I was holding my Bible. I asked what church he went to and where he lived and all that and I told him about 24-Seven, and he was like, "Seventh-day Adventist, huh? So you go to church on Saturday." I asked what he knew about Adventists and he said he had been reading The National Sunday Law, which he found at a bus stop. Crazy!

I was amazed that this random guy I approached wasn't only a Christian, but that he was also exploring the Sabbath. So we exchanged e-mail addresses and I hope to hear from him soon. I wish I told him where 24-Seven meets and when we have services, but it didn't cross my mind. He said he used to be homeless for 2.5 years (he was a young guy too, like early 20s) and I'm worried he doesn't have regular Internet access.

But I pray and trust that God will finish what He started.

Coincidence? I think not.

I own a blue, light-tension Gripmaster, purchased from Amazon.com 2 years ago to strengthen my fingers and also to build callouses for guitar-playing. (I bought these extra callous-builder things that clip onto the Gripmaster.)

So just now I'm sitting at work and glance down at my desk at the Gripmaster, reminded that I should use it during the day when my hands are free.

And then I glance at my computer screen at the next item I have to categorize for Amazon.com Marketplace and what do I see?

Yep. You guessed it.

"Gripmaster Hand Exerciser, Light Tension."

CRAAAZY.

Passion

Just got a voice message from my old high school youth leader. I saw her at camp meeting a couple weeks ago and she asked what I was up to, to which I replied I was no longer pursuing dentistry. She told me that for the past 5 years since I left for college, she's continued to pray for me and my decisions. I informed her that currently, I am uncertain about where God wants me.

In the voice message she said that this morning, she came across an old paper I had written on from back then, when we played the "honesty game." One question asked us what our greatest fear is.

She reminded me that I had answered, "My greatest fear is to live my earthly life doing something I am not passionate about."

Now I just need to determine what I am passionate about.
