What to write... Do I have to... Need to... What's the point of this blog anyway? I started it so that other people would know what I was up to. Who cares? I am not the reason for life... Does everything have meaning? If I wear pink socks and blue jeans and a green shirt, does that matter? If I get up at 8AM or 8:02AM does that matter, could that two minutes change my life forever? If I forget to brush my teeth will that affect who I become?
What really matters?
Of course I can flipantly answer: "God matters", and continue with my life.
But is that really what God intends? Does He really want me to just KNOW that He is all that matters and then continue with life? I'm not saying that I live my life oblivious to God, but do I really live like God is ALL that matters? And does God really care what color socks I wear?
James 4:17 "Anyone then who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins."
I don't think God really cares what color socks I wear, (unless I'm wearing them to irritate someone else), but how "good" should I worry about being?
I don't think I'm going to worry about being "good" but instead I will "fix (my) eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of (my) faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:2) Jesus who also has covered me with grace so it isn't my sin that God sees (Hallelujah), but it is Jesus perfect life that covers me and allows me to be bold before God's throne and gives me privilege of not having worry about whether I'm being "good" enough. I'm so glad.

Amen sister! What a great post. Thanks for bringing up that topic. Sometimes I worry so much about doing enough and yet it doesn't matter becasue I am not the one that matters it is Him.
