Feel great in '08.
People all over the Ann Arbor area see that motto when they are driving around. It's posted on road signs as a advertisement for some fitness company in our area.
I've kind of developed a love hate relationship for this constant reminder, this little red and white poster publicizing a motto that implies that people weren't already feeling great in 2007.
But at the same time, I wish making changes in my life really was that easy. Call a number, fill out some papers, and just start watching the changes occur. But that isn't how it happens, that is not how God intends for anything to happen. I'm always telling people "God doesn't call us to do easy things, He calls us to do hard things." But I don't think I ever really caught on to this concept myself.
I'm not going to go into great detail on here, but I just feel really challenged to go down some hard paths in my life. I know the easy thing for me to do right now is to continue being who I am doing what I am doing.
But that's not faith. Faith is never comfortable. If I am ever comfortable, I feel like I'm not moving... not pushing myself to take a leap, make a jump, or really I'm not living my faith through actions.
I've got an idea about what direction I need to head in, thanks to God. So now all I've gotta do is just rely on faith to change me. What a simple concept, but a hard leap to take.
Feel great in '08? What already makes you feel great? What are some nudges you've been feeling, some paths that you feel God is calling you to head down? What is holding you back?
Shalom friends and thank you God.
