Giving it Our All

I have been very challenged lately to stop skating through life. It seems so easy at times to go through days, weeks, and months even without taking stock of your life, without really committing yourself to anything of value. God has been banging on my heart with a cry to get real, to stop going through the motions of life, and to start really LIVING!

We are doing a series at church right now called "Live Like You Were Dying," and it challenges us to reevaluate our priorities and our life's focus. Stop giving 90% to what you are doing: to your relationships, to your ministry, to your causes, to your God. If you believe something, take a stand. If you love someone, live like it. If you want to make a change, do so. We only have this one life to make a difference. If you have dreams that are big enough for you to reach on your own, dream bigger. God is more magnificent, more powerful, more loving than anything we can know...give your life over to him, totally and without reservation. Let Him grow your dreams. Let Him build your relationships. Let Him guide your days, giving every second to him. There's not a moment to waste. It's time for us to step up to the plate and to knock one out of the park!

"For with You is the spring of life. In Your light shall we see light."

-Psalm 36:9

"For life is a tenuous thing: fragile, fleeting. Don't wait for tomorrow. Be here now! Be here now! Be here now!"
