The Proposal



So we saw a movie tonight and I enjoyed the storyline, the actors and the ending! The movie is called, The Proposal. Don't worry I will not give away anything about the movie, you really need to see it on your own. But the movie reminded me of how life throws us curveballs. We often times go through the motions and simply exist. But there are those moments in life where we decide to take the bull by the horns and seize the day. There have been times in my life where I went along with something out of obligation or tradition. Its those instances where I can't really say I was fully living. But in the moments where I fully lived I wasn't just going through the motions but raising my own sails. Matthew West has a song that speaks to me, Going Through the Motions. He sings, "I don't wanna spend my whole life asking what if I had given everything, instead of going through the motions". Don't simply exist, live and live fully.

My sentiments exactly. If we could always have the passion and zeal that we experience after salviation or after a youth camp.
