That's really good. That's really good. That's really good. And I thought a lot about And I thought a lot about And I thought a lot about this in practical this in practical this in practical terms with terms with terms with Scripture: "How am I going to Scripture: "How am I going to Scripture: "How am I going to look at this in look at this in look at this in 20 years and say, 'I'm 20 years and say, 'I'm 20 years and say, 'I'm so glad I so glad I so glad I spent my time on this spent my time on this spent my time on this , and these are the people , and these are the people , and these are the people I spent my I spent my I spent my time with, or this is what I time with, or this is what I time with, or this is what I dedicated my life to'" dedicated my life to'" ? So I saw ? So I saw ? So I saw another quote that another quote that another quote that said, “ said, “ said, “ Disciplined Disciplined Disciplined people have the same day every day people have the same day every day people have the same day every day . "With . "With . "With undisciplined people, undisciplined people, every year looks every year looks every year looks the same."

the same." the same." Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. And that was really And that was really And that was really apt. Let's say, all through apt. Let's say, all through apt. Let's say, all through my 20s, God was my 20s, God was my 20s, God was very present, but it very present, but it very present, but it all looked all looked all looked kind of the same. I kind of the same. I kind of the same. I did the same thing. did the same thing. did the same thing. Every year was just the Every year was just the Every year was just the same, like same, like same, like M-m. M-m. M-m. the same. But then, as the same. But then, as the same. But then, as I started I started I started trying to be very trying to be very trying to be very conscious of my conscious of my conscious of my time and committed to time and committed to time and committed to knowing knowing knowing Jesus daily, every day was the same Jesus daily, every day was the same Jesus daily, every day was the same , but God , but God , but God made such big made such big made such big changes in my life and changes in my life and changes in my life and heart. So I guess heart. So I guess heart.
