Hosanna!

Hi I'm Dj... you can call me Dorothy too haha :) This is my blog for the Lord. It's named hosanna in the highest simply coz it comes from my favorite song :)

I am a follower of Jesus. A sinner saved by grace. A woman made holy and righteous by the blood of my Savior.

I love photography (though i'm just starting out), I love music and serve as a worship leader in our church. I love sunsets and stars. And I am forever amazed by the beauty that the Lord has made.

This blog is both a means of expression and a ministry to encourage. I hope you are blessed :) Praise be to God alone :)

Disclaimer: The Bible is the Truth. I love to write notes, however I CHALLENGE YOU first to test and approve even the things I write here. Also understand that there is a difference between EXPLICIT BIBLICAL TRUTH from a personal conviction or application of the truth.

Investing in the right “bank”

Opportunity is described as a man with wings with his pony tail tied in the front. When he’s there approaching you you have a chance to still grab him, but once he passes he’s gone.

You only live your life once. Once you go through today, you will never get the chance to re-live it. God gave you a mission in life, a mission that you can only accomplish while in our earthen vessels. And God’s will for us is that we live for our purpose.

The devil on the other hand is crafty in his work. Not only does he work on tempting you to sin, but he’s also very busy at making you waste your life. Sometimes it comes in the form of everyday mundane things. Sometimes it comes in the form of things that seem so important. Sometimes it’s outright a waste of time.

Working in the hotel industry I’ve come to accept my fate of working an average of 11 hours, plus at least 2 hours traveling daily, leaving me with at most 7 hours of sleep. Thus leaving me with 4 hours of me-time which also includes time for house chores, taking a bath, getting ready for work, eating (if i have time), and time with the Lord.  I remember back when I was waiting on the Lord for a job I had all the time in the world to work on mu Tumblr ministry. Now I think I only get to post 2-3 times a week!

It’s not wrong to work hard to earn a living. It’s a problem though if you forget to MAKE time for things that matters. If satan can get you to waste so many hours a day, he can eventually lead you to a wasted life full of wasted opportunities. Sometimes we’re so focused on building our dreams that when we look closely at it we see a self-centered ambition lacking substance or purpose other than self-satisfaction.

We forget that life is not really about us. We forget that the world is so much more bigger than ourselves. 

God wants you to outlive your life by investing your time in the lives of others. If you spend a lot of time at work, then make the most out of it and let Him use you to reach out to your officemates.  If you spend too much time on computer games, surfing and other unimportant things, then set your priorities right. If you’re so engrossed in your self-promotion plans then stop and re-evaluate if it actually helps others apart from yourself.
I challenge you to look at your life right now and see if what you’re investing in are things that matter to God. Not simply things that just matter to you.
