Living Life

It’s seems to be a constant theme today.  When themes keep popping up in my life I’ve learned to pay attention to them. Often, someone (God mostly ) is trying to get my attention.

I saw one of the worst movies today, Wanted, don’t see it.  I’ll tell you the only good part of it here — don’t waste your life.  Live life with passion, fervor, and do what you were created to do.  And you know what — it doesn’t really matter what those around you think.  You may feel like it does, I do.  I get my feelings hurt and I let it affect me.  That’s giving other people too much control over my life, a life that’s not really even mine.  However, that is not what this post is about.  It’s about not living for people but living for God.  He’s my audience.

I’ve also been reading a few books this summer.  One is Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper.  I really don’t want to waste my life.  And we don’t know how long our life here on this earth is going to last.  So I have to make every moment count.  How do I do that?  I’ve asked that question a lot in my life.  The answer I’ve come up with is that to live every moment for God is only way to not waste it. And to find that thing that he has created us for and to do it well.

Here’s to living life abundantly, throwing caution (or what people think) to the wind, and being passionate about what God created us to do!
