So, I have been meaning to write this blog for awhile now, because I have been thinking about this for quite some time.
I wanted to just share one of the reason I am very grateful to New Life Church. There are many reasons why, but this one is something that has been prominently showing itself in my life.
Lately I have noticed that I have really been shown how to take care of people, or at least cover their needs so they feel comfortable and thought of and I know I learned this from NLC. I feel like I really get it ...(now), I get that making people feel connected, important, thought of, and cared for is one of the most important aspects of life, and to know that feels like I...(me) got let in on a huge secret.
Now, what I am about to say I do not mean in any way to sound arrogant or stuffy. I also feel that even though I am not considered a "professional" by any means, and I most definitely am not the best at a million and one things, I feel like I do have a sense of producing a quality product which then in turn makes the people surrounding me feel comfortable and thought of and cared for. I feel like no matter what the task at hand may be, I know how to turn out a quality product at all costs. I have been shown the importance and the know how of meeting peoples needs. Because, well basically that is all that counts.
We are only given so much, but it is what we do with this mixture of qualities and of things that produce a result and that result is in turn our impact on those around us and ultimately the world.
Intentions do matter, little details matter just as much as the big ones, everyone deserves your time, and people are the most important thing in this life.
I feel so thankful for learning this very basic truth, I hope now that I can try and implement this more into my life. I think that now since I realize this I can actually use it on purpose. Not just go with the flow because in this new place the flow is.... much different. It is so far from that which I knew and grew accustom to that I find myself feeling beat down just by the day to day of it. I realize now that it may be my small part, and it can be in the smallest way but it is a start. I remembered that a single flame can ignite a huge fire as well as a single flame can light up a dark room.
There is a line in a song, and I may not get this all right but it goes something like ' this life is hell if we only live for ourselves' . I never thought of how true that is until today, which reminded me of New Life Church and what I am thankful for to them. It also reminded me of how important people are and how important the "small" things you do are, I mean at times you may not feel like it, and you may feel pointless. I know I feel that way all the time, but with just a littlest of effort you can make a world of difference, you just have to shift your focus and remember the truths of life. Once you do that nothing can stop you, no matter how big your dreams are if you remember that people matter and your time and effort are all you really have to offer than you start looking at life with a new pair of glass's.
Words are not action, they are simply words, and just because I realized this doesn't make it a piece of cake from here on out..
but I want to try and remember this every morning I wake up and every night I go to sleep.
I want to hold this truth close to my heart always.
So thank you, to everyone who helped me get to this point. . . thanks.
