Irresponsible Faith

// April 28th, 2009 // Comments Off // Life, Theological illogical

Its funny how the older we get the more worried we are about pleasing people.

When I was younger I cared more about having fun than getting my clothes dirty.  I cared more about singing my heart out to God rather than singing on pitch haha.
Was it good or bad that I had no voice left after every worship service and tears and grass stains on my jeans from hanging with the youthgroup kids?

I guess I could have been smarter and more responsible when it came to taking care of my voice and new clothes but even something as important as faith is irresponsible.  To me faith seems irresponsible giving up our saftey zone, trusting and believing. Am I too complacent? Are you too complacent?

Its like when you’re walking in public and you become conscious of walking and then you feel really awkward with every step over thinking every mannerism making something so common as breathing feel so difficult.   Wes mentioned in our worship meeting that he wants us to "keep it simple"… I’m not even sure if he knew the depth of what he said with those 3 words.

I think of "keep it simple" and I think of being spirit lead, taking chances, never compromising and keeping Christ the center of everything.
Living life with both feet on the ground is so boring… I want to run up to God and have him throw me up in the air like a little kid trusting that he’ll catch me and start all over again :-)
