I want people to see something different when they look at me. I don't want them see ME but Christ shining through me. I don't want to be known as the guy who goes to church or the guy who doesn't swear. I don't want to go through the Christian checklist and be satisfied. I want to go deeper in my walk with Christ and explore the depths of His love and grace.

This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

--"The Motions" Matthew West

If I must live, I want to go all in. No fear. No anxiety. Simply trusting in the one who knows me better than I know myself.


"Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which is above all human understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:5-7
