Real Life

Every week around this time I begin to prepare myself to write this blog. What I didn't see coming when I signed on to do this was and is the pressure I would feel to write something "inspiring". The problem with that? I am not always inspired. If you want to know the truth I am probably more consistently uninspired than I am its opposite. That's real life. At least that's my real life.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, down or discouraged. While the Bible does promise that we can expect to go from strength to strength and glory to glory, I have found that life tends to be rather routine, even mundane in those in-between glories. And that's OK. That's real life.

I think one of the problems we have created in the Kingdom of God is this "lights, camera, action" mentality and we sit around in wardrobe waiting for our photo shoot. But that's not how real life works. That's not how real faith works. Real faith believes that in spite of doing the same thing today as you did yesterday and possibly doing the same thing tomorrow as you did today, that at the end of the day you are still walking with God. And that's REAL LIFE.
