Extremes... We are told to try and live a life that is middle of the road. Why do that? it's boring, We should live life on extermes. I was reading a book recently that is called "The Gospel according to Starbucks" by Lenoard Sweet. He was writing that we should live lives that stand out and that aren't middle of the road. I know that in my own life, I don't always like standing out, I want to blend in most of the time, that is how my personality is. As a Christian, though I do want to stand out and make a difference. I also want to be able to show the world the Love of Jesus in my life. At church on Sunday, my pastor was speaking on mirror image. Jesus has called us to be a mirror image of him. That is so hard! everyday has it's own challange and often times when I look in the mirror, I don't see the reflection of Jesus, because I am caught up in trying to live life my way, instead of God's. That is why I am so thankful, for the grace that the Lord has given us, and if I start the day off with him, I am so much more likely to see the reflection of Jesus in the mirror. I want my life to be well curved, heading upwards not being steady in the middle. I am ready to stand out, and stand up.
