I'm Back! wait-- don't leave!

Now listening to: Illuminate by David Crowder Band

It's very dissapointing to see that everyone is giving up their blogs... I even almost fell for it, but you know what... nuh- uh. not today... I'm coming back just like Mase. So buckle up muchachos!

I have not written a blog for a while... Why's that? Well... I just haven't been thinking about things. "Ryan. You can't not think," is what you're saying, but I'm saying I do it very easily... Life has been going "well". By that, I mean I'm comfortable. OH NO!!! I said it!!! That word... Ya know what that means, don't you?? Life is not good then. If I said life is going well because God is absolutely indescribibly awesome, then that would be alright. But when I become comfortable with my life, then I believe Satan is becoming less worried. Satan attacks us when he has something to worry about (Good Christians), not when we're okay with not glorifying God as much as we can.
I love my floor. I really do. But my actions have not matched my words. Love is an action, so technically I haven't been loving them like I should. I need to get back. Get back to that one time... You know what time I'm talking about? The time when you were absolutely on fire for God and nobody was going to stop you from living for Him? That's where I need to get back. That's where we all need to get back to... It's sad... I look around to my fellow brothers and sisters... I know I cannot rely on them for the world to change, but still... it's frustrating... I just need to get back. Get back to the point where I said I didn't need anything and that I should give all my stuff away... Get back to the point where I would just drop out of school and got to God-knows-where on the drop of a divine dime... Get back to where I had that permeating joy that just rubbed off on everybody and spread like a epidemic... I AM THE PROBLEM. I need to be the solution. "With every passing minute, there is a chance to turn it all around." This is the minute where I will change... I'm not even going to use the word hopefully, because it's so much easier than that.
I'm just don't want to be willing for less, you know? Do you know? Are you willing for less?
Well, there's a world out there... And I'd hate to tell you, but IT'S BIGGER THAN ANDERSON UNIVERSITY! (or wherever it is you are) It's biggger than the same group of friends that you hang out with everyday... I'm not saying it's bad to hang out with your friends, but there's thousands of others hurting and just waiting for you to love them, speak to them, spend time with them that may be awkward, to give them food, to cut wood for them, to help them with their groceries, to just say Hi and smile! I say this almost every blog, but DON'T YOU GET IT?? What are we waiting for?!? "Well, I just need to... Well, I have this thing... Well, God hasn't told me yet..." What does the Bible say?!? I believe it's as clear as day that we are to love God with all of our heart, mind, and soul and to love our neighbors as ourselves... And if you don't, you are full of crap... So, now we come to the end of this blog, but instead of knowing the meaningless stuff I did during my day, you have this choice to deal with.
What will yours be? With every passing minute, there is a chance to turn it all around, but nobody ever said how many minutes you have left to turn it all around.
Make your choice quickly...
Shalom.
