For the last 6 months, I made a sacrifice, working nights to provide for my family. Subsequently, I adapted my schedule to begin sleeping during the day so I could stay awake at night. Looking back now, this decision has led to several lost days.
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. – Ephesians 5:15-16
In an attempt to gain wealth, I’ve neglected my role as a father. Sure, I’ve tried my best on my days off, yet the wear and tear of the night shift has stripped me of energy. Thus, I’ve come to a cross road, hoping to seize the days of my life which remain.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. – Colossians 3:17

With 2015 still relatively young, there is time to change course. Although my work out and dietary plans have already fallen short of my goals for this year, God’s forgiveness is new every day, Lamentations 3:22-23. Leaving my failures in the past, its time to arise and move forward to seize the days before they are lost again.
