So, life is happening quick. I graduate college in a couple weeks and then I guess it is this real world concept I'm still unsure of. I don't mean to ramble about me and my life, but my life has been strategically and drastically over thought as I've endured the weight of an entirely new world being introduced to me. Perhaps the heaviest of things is my longing to impact. As some of you, who read these things know, I am a passionate person. The problem with us dreamers is we tend to dream a lot more than we know how to accomplish, and that destroys us. It's not the dreaming itself that drags us down, no, that is our very being. Our existence is defined by our ardor, and that very gusto is what sets us apart from the melancholy, comfortable world. The unknown, the what could be, the "how do I get there?" is what drives us mad. Many a lofty goal-setter will stay on the mundane road to complacency often stopping to think "what if?" whereas I want to step out and make a difference. I can't allow myself to settle; I must go and I must do. I don't want to get stuck in the in-between of who I am impacting the world for, however, either. My desire is to follow Christ like the term "Christian" implies I do, without holding back and follow short like we all too often do. I don't want to get prideful either, because impacting the world in a positive way is amazing regardless, but doing it while staying in the shadows and letting Christ get the glory is a far greater accomplishment. It is a far more difficult task, but a far more rewarding outcome.
Let us live life without bounds, and take on the world that Christ has already overcome (John 16:33) to proclaim his worth. To God be the glory.
