above everything else, this summer i have learned that i cannot live my faith halfway anymore. its got to be all or nothing. God has been showing me all summer long that i've got to change my heart, change my focus, change my behavior. this life is not about the grades, the money, the appearances, the popularity, or the parties. this life is about the love, the service, the humility, the prayer, and the commitment to Christ.
up until now, i've justified a halfway faith by trying to love certain people, serving when its convenient, being humble when it makes me look good, praying only in the hard times, and being committed only when it doesn't challenge those around me.
no more.
Christ is calling me to more than that. i've heard the call all along, i've just been good a listening halfway. But after this summer, i'm ready to completely listen with open ears and an open heart. Experiences at Bible study, in the office, in Philly, in the quiet moments of prayer, in the conversations, in the laughter, in the tears...
its always the same: you cannot be whole unless you wholly listen.
here i am.
