Motivational Monday!

What if we did things differently this week, starting with today,
-what would that look like?

In my life, it is doing what I need to do,

EVEN THOUGH,

I would rather do something 

FUN, ENTERTAINING, or SELF SATISFYING.

Who wants to clean?

Not me!

Who wants to wash?

Not me!

Who wants to get 5 schedules in order?

Not me!

When I was in school, if I didn't want to answer the teacher, I would simply avoid eye contact.

But I'm not in school anymore and if I don't answer to my tasks at hand, guess what,

it won't get done.

In life, there are so many things we have to do to keep our home, family and friends in order, and we do by our priorities.

Where is Jesus?

Is HE a priority?

We live most of our days doing what WE need to do, 

for OUR success, 

OUR achievements, 

OUR goals and dreams. 

But, WHAT IF we started living for GOD? 

What if you and I really focused on living FOR HIM?

Living for HIS view of success, living for what is important to HIM, and lived out of obedience for what HE is calling us to do, 

even if it is contrary to what the world says?

Dropping off my daughter this morning to our Car Pool, I heard this song by the Sidewalk Prophets, called "Live Like This".

The lyrics are so real, and really spoke to my heart this morning.

Hopefully it will speak to yours.

Turn it up!

Sometimes I think 
What will people say of me 

When I'm only just a memory 

When I'm home where my soul belongs 

Was I love
When no one else would show up
Was I Jesus to the least of those
Was my worship more than just a song

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that

Am I proof
That You are who you say You are
That grace can really change a heart
Do I live like Your love is true

People pass
And even if they don't know my name
Is there evidence that I've been changed
When they see me, do they see You

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that


I want to show the world the love You gave for me
I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that
