bringing it ol school.



"I want to know you more."

when I talk about the future, I still catch myself saying 'when I grow up...'
I realized that, Im still always dreaming about the future, rather than living it in the present.

I found myself asking this today...
Do I need to improve in order to get to the next level, or do I need to get to the next level to improve?
I so deeply want to 'step it up', but I find myself stumbling so often. Through it all though, I'm so encouraged by everyone in the body, because they offer such real love.

If I want God to take me seriously, then I have to take Him seriously.
Wow. Ive messed up on that one huh? Im not gonna shrug it off this time though.
Monday morning is gonna be lived for Him. Then Tuesday. Then Wednesday. and so on...

I think the biggest thing I have been blessed with in my life, is Faith. Yes, at times I question, I 'wrestle' in a sense, and I contemplate, but I am always reaffirmed not with increasing doubt, but rather increasing conviction and trust in Him. I dont consider it to be blind, or brainwashed, or programmed, but rather obedient. I like to think that, I understand (to a degree) what it is all about. I dont mean to be cocky, and I want to keep a humble attitude, because I am far from obedient in so many aspects, but there is no other 'truth' out there that just makes so much sense.
