Do you really mean what you say?

Does my life line up with what I speak about and supposedly believe in?  This is a question I've been wrestling with lately!! I really want my life to be a beacon of love and inspiration to others around me.  A lot of times I feel like I am just floating through life...merely trying to get by and survive until the next day.  I believe many people feel like that. We try to do the right thing but sometimes our humanness gets in the way.  But I want to live with a passion - totally sold out for the Great Love that has been given to you and me. I know that for myself, when I begin to think this way and question my life's purpose, I find that I am not hungering for God's Word like I should be.  I really think that the Bible has the answers for every area of life - however, I don't really live that! How difficult it is to put something into practice that we speak about every day! Discipline is amazing and elusive....we yearn for it but it is NOT easy to grasp.  Thinking of Jesus' life I am in awe of His discipline.  Every aspect of his life was focused and backed up by action.  I want to strive for that sort of commitment.  What about you?

On a side note - I hope to publish more blog posts this year :)  Lots of different topics and stuff to discuss! My family is doing well and we are happily looking forward to summer. :) Have an awesome weekend
