Waiting..

Last night as I was in chuch, a song from John Mayer started flowing through the speakers. Now of course I got excited obviously because John was in the atmosphere. The song was waiting on the world to change.. Not one of my personal favorites - but hey, it's JM! After getting home, I really started to think about the song and how it really related to me and Christianity. Do we really want to sit back and wait for change to come? If we did, wouldn't there be nothing at all being done for the glory of Christ?

Sometimes it seems as if we leave things up for others instead of taking the reigns of the situation and attempting it ourselves.. Like we're scared of responsibility or nervous about what others think about us. I know that I've done that myself, and usually I beat myself up over it. As Christians, God has placed a calling on all of our lives; go make disciples in His name. If we're seated waiting and watching, what good are we doing? These lyrics from the song pretty much sum it up, "it's hard to be persistent when we're standing at a distance." You have to show God's love to get anything done.

Living a life actively for God is part of the whole story. The other part is witnessing to others about what your life is about. Live it; witness it.

Life

I didn't ever think I would actually do this, but here I am. Writing is a way to release part of yourself; a way to show yourself to others that sometimes is harder than anything you've ever done. I decided though anybody might not care what I have to say, some people may be interested, and I believe this can be a fun process.

My blog is titled "What A Story Life Is" for a reason; your life is an astounding story. No matter how great of a story teller you are, there's nothing like the life you live. Conflicts, relationships, etc. are like nothing else. You can manipulate anything, but you never realize the true reality of the experience unless you actually experience it. Each person goes through problems and difficulties, and no matter how similar they might seem, no one else goes through the same experiences as you do. Your story depends on what you live for, and I know what I'm living for. My Savior Jesus Christ. I receive true joy and happiness from living for Him.

Now what will you live for? Only you can decide.
