While putting things in my spring/summer closet recently, I noticed that my color preference is quite obvious. There are many pink, lavender, navy and black selections but it is evident that the majority of my clothes are white. Checking the coat closet, I realized that I even own more than one white coat/jacket. My family will confirm that when shopping, the first item I pick up is...white. Always.
I'm not sure why I choose white more often. Yet...I don't desire to wear white all the time. I personally don't even prefer white walls in our home. (White furniture...oh, yes...which is why I choose other colors for walls.) As much as I love white, I realize that there is a limit to how much I wear or use in my surroundings. I began thinking.
What do my choices in life say about me? Am I as selective about surroundings...and the influence of people...as I am about clothes, furniture and paint preferences? Do I allow opinions of others to define me? Do surroundings in my life limit or encourage His work in my life? Do I allow Him to work in me, on me and through me? Do I have limits in what I will and will not allow in my life?
Life is precious. May each amazing moment be lived seeking what truly matters and dismissing what doesn't. May I never waste a moment. May I pause to notice all the beauty along this journey...in every color, every situation and every choice. May all I see...remind me to be all I can be...for Him.<3~thl
