What's with the Title?

I thought I might take the time to explain the title of my blog. I hadn't thought of a title until "step 2" popped up and said "Name your blog". Oh dear...I have to be creative, and I'm not! So I quickly went to other blogs to see names and try to see if I could get the crative juices flowing....well that didn't happen either. Then I just thought about what my purpose was for the blog anyway. Its not because I think I'm a great writer and therefore others might want to read my thoughts. I am really doing this to organize and remind myself of what God is teaching me through this season of life.

A few weeks ago my sweet husband and I sat in a coffee shop and talked about what we want our lives to be about. He's 30...I'm 29, we thought maybe if we make a declaration of sorts then we won't end up in 30 years feeling like we have wasted these years. So we worked through some things and realized that ultimately there is a "treasure" and the "treasure" is worth living for. More than that, its worth dying for! So keeping our attention on , or being Captivated by the Treasure was the most important thing, because that would then give an outpouring of our lives in every other area. Death can't touch our treasure! Nothing can touch this treasure! So it seems worth living for right? I think so!

Our declaration has 3 parts to it, this is the 1st and what I believe the most essential. If my attention is not on the treasure, which is the cross of Jesus Christ, then the other 2 parts don't work. So with every blog I write I am praying it keeps my eyes on the Treasure!!!!

Captivate me Jesus... don't let me look away for a moment!
