Morning Glory!
When you wake up in the morning what is the first few things that run through your mind? (For some this may be after you have had a cup of coffee or rubbed away last nights crust from your eyes)
As I was driving to my 6:35am class (yes I have a class that early) I looked out over the horizon and it was beautiful. I begin to speak with God, thanking Him because I knew that the events that were set before me today would help me reach His destiny for my life.
Then I began to think. Is that how I live everyday? Do I really understand that everything I face God allows and only pushed me closer to fulfilling His purpose within my life.
SO I ask you.. Does your life have meaning? Do you wake up feeling ready to continue accomplishing your goals?
Most of the time we develop our own plans, and destiny. When is the last time that you truly found yourself giving God your life/plans/desires and trusting Him to guided you.
Psalms 37:23 says
"The steps of a man are established by the LORD,
when he delights in his way"
Are we delighting in God's way so that He can ordered our lives? Or are we praying that He lets us live life the way we want, absent of Him and His path, but still looking for His blessings?
Most people ask for prayer and direction yet do little to get to know the one they request it from. If you want to do more than just exist, waking up everyday not looking forward to its start. Or only holding on to events that come and go, rather finding life being worth it on its own then I suggest you change the reason why you live.
Living for Him puts everything into perspective and allows you to do more than just exist.

Love?
It is very interesting how many people (whether they want to admit it or not) are addicted to "love". We want, desire it, are willing to endure pain to have a moment of its time. When we are without it we are bitter or sad, when we don't get enough we are angry, and some just deny it. Others down play it. No matter what we know it is there and thus are connected.
Can one be truly connected to love if they are absent from the Love of God?
What I mean is that if people are living in the light of God's love, can we express this emotion towards another. What most people don't realize is at the most shallow level's love is an emotion. In all reality Love is an action. Love is an expression of how one feels but that expression has to be intentional.
It seems that some people aren't willing to perform the necessary steps to have true love, but rather settle for the puddle of an emotion they have, wondering why "love fades".
God seems to demonstrate love in turns of a series of committed, intentional actions rather than over-fluffed emotional junk.
Here are a few things to think about...
Have you truly embraced the love of God?
Do you live in light of this love? (Intentional actions showing love)
If you realized you are loved by God, do you love yourself?
Do you try to intentional love someone else? (Love being an action not an emotional response
I see tons of people commenting on "love" yet very few willing to live it out in various aspects of their life.
I pray that you can experience the love of God, love yourself, and share this love with others. If you are "in love" I pray that love is a committed action that is intentional on building the other person up.

Passion?
What is it that makes people GO? What is their motivation, their drive, their... PASSION!!!
Lately I have been talking to people, and I find myself thinking, why will people be apart of things that don't make them happy? I mean people seem to be in search of something, anything to give meaning to life, or fulfill them, but all roads lead to the same place.
This place is filled with disappointment as everything will fade away. SO what is it that drives people? What are you most passionate about?
For me it is people... If you knew me years ago your mind is probably blown right now, if you know me now it makes sense. I am passionate about people, seeing people fulfilled, growing, and in love with life.
For me to see people reach that level, I have to strive to obtain that in my own life. Through Christ I have. Not that I have reached it, or perfection, but it is my goal to live a fulfilled life through Him.
What you are passionate about? What are you willing to work with all your might to see come to fruition? What are you willing to sacrifice everything you have for?
Hopefully it isn't anything that in 5 years will be worth nothing, or in the end will fade away.
Do you live life with passion or do you simply exist.
