Blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine

There are some songs that just take me right back to my early church years. This is one of them. And as I have gotten older I have come into a deep appreciation for the message and the meaning behind the lyrics.

"This is my story, this is my song..." And it is my story and my song, I hope it is yours too. The assurance of Jesus and his presence in my life is what gets me through life. I know some people may look at my life, or their own lives, and think that the presence of Jesus doesn't help it much or at all BUT I know what I know and I know his presence is the only thing that has gotten me through the darkest moments of life. Were it not for him, were it not for the assurance of him, the confidence in his presence I am not sure that I would be upright!

Blessed assurance indeed...

Blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine (sung by Third Day)

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
