It would be interesting to see what people think when they read this title. A sprint? A movie? A cell phone? Actually what I have been thinking about this week is The Dash that represents the amount of time we live on this earth. For instance my Dash looks like this right now. 1981–20??. I almost have 29 years behind me and who know how many years/days I have left.
What am I doing with The Dash? Am I just letting the days pass by hoping that tomorrow will be a better day? Or am I waking up saying wow, God your given me another day to leave a mark on this world that will last forever? I gotta admit that most days I wake up and when I lay my head down at night it was just another day.
Today I have been reading two books written to encourage teenagers to do something with their Dash. They have challenged me. 15 years from now I don’t want to read Half Time and regret that I didn’t make a bigger difference with the first half of my Dash.
It is time to increase my Faith in the things God is laying on my heart and “Do Hard Things” so when my body is Stationed in the ground people will praise the God who allowed me to leave a mark on this world for His Glory.

Hebrews 13:21 says “…equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight.” Jesus is pleased with not just the final product, He is pleased with the process. This is good news for us that right now in our hardships and struggles and difficulties and doubt, Christ is working in me His great pleasure! It is not a future version of me that Christ is pleased with. It is me, now. He loves the process. That causes me to love Him even more! Keep up the good thoughts and encouragement!
