What would you do?

I'm getting so LAZY!

ah!!! it's starting to get a bit annoying, just how lazy i'm getting. there's no motivation at all, quite sad actually. i had to force myself to turn off the tv after sitting in front of it the whole day. (highlights: beaver's baseball won 1-0 w/ the winning run in the ninth inning. spurs beat cav's ass. nadal won in 4 sets. Deep Impact, mostly boring w/ flashes of greatness.) I really did nothing today except for eating, watching tv, ate some more food, watched some more tv, and briefly cleaned my room... washed my sheets. ahhh!!!

i am so much more than this.

IF...
the world was going to end in weeks... what would you do?

Would you...
stop what you are doing now? studying for finals. going to class. paying your bills.
take off your clothe and dance around town naked on your bicycle?
call up all your friends and say.... what?

How would you say your good-byes?
in a letter?
perhaps put it in a jar and send it with love.
how many words will be enough?
can a sentence be worth... a million words?

Would you wake up every morning with a purpose?
to wake up before the alarm.
having a motive behind each action taken,
behind each second spent.
all striving for one goal. one single goal that will make your life worthwhile.

and what might this goal be?


When i was a kid i often hear the question, "if we are saved as christians, and if heaven is so wonderful and awesome, then why are we still here on earth? why don't God just take us away once we are christians?" To which the preacher response, "it is because God wants us to share our faith to others. so that they can be saved as well."

Can this be our goal? our one calling? to convert as many people to Christianity as possible. to save as many people as we can. And this one goal will make our life... worthwhile.

...perhaps. But i like to think that there's much more than that. I like to think that the world as we know it is not just a big testing area, a laboratory created to weed out the sheep from the lamb. I like to think that God created all this beauty for more than just decoration. I like to think that this... matters.

yes, if life after death is eternal, than our time on earth is minuscule. But it matters. today matters, your finals that you're taking matters, and this moment right now... it matters.

I believe God created Adam and Eve not because He wanted to see which of their children will make it to Heaven, and which of them will go to Hell. He created Adam and Eve so that they can live. live life and all its beauty. its struggles, its failures, rejections, and pain. live to love, and be loved. live life to die... so that you can be reborn.

so as you study for your finals, as you pull your 2nd all night-er in 3 days, as you finish your 3rd red bull. know that what you are doing now, matters in eternity. life is long, learn to enjoy it.

and when you find yourself lazy... keep striving.


what would you do...
when God moves through you?
