OK sucks...

I feel alive and it hurts for a change
I’m looking back its hard to believe
That I was cool with the days that I wasted
Complacent and tasteless and bored
But that was yesterday

Chorus
We’re never going back to ok
We’re never going back to easy
We’re never going back to the way it was
We’re never going back to ok

~The Afters

Contrary to popular belief, the Christian life is not the boring, run-of-the-mill, can't do anything lifestyle. Quite the opposite. The truth is that when we submit to Jesus Christ and give Him 100% of ourselves; we are about to embark on the craziest, most exciting time of our lives. Hence the reality that anyone who truly desires to live for Christ and take up their cross is most certainly a little crazy to begin with. Sure you can be luke-warm Christian and go to the services and say the 'right' things but what joy & fulfillment we miss out on because we are content with OK. I was content with OK, but not anymore. Once you experience that fresh breath it's as if your eyes are open to a whole new reality. There is so much more that God intends for us but we're content to eat the scraps off the floor when there's a buffet prepared for us.
