Emotions get the best of me.  I walk around frustrated with society and questioning authority.  I'm the outspoken girl with dreads among my more subdued peers.  If I see something I don't like, I rarely keep it to myself.  Oh how God has blessed me with such kind hearted friends for putting up with my ranting!
As of late I've become more and more frustrated with society in general.  I'm very blessed to have the opportunity to attend a small Christian school, yet I often become bothered by it.  How disappointing it is to go to a Christian school where people are not excited about Christ!  As a body of Christ everywhere, we desperately need radical change.  I'm sick of going to youth group and having an amazing emotional experience and wanting to make a difference and never following through with it!  Being a Christ follower is about truth, not feelings.  I need to get past my feelings and let my daily life be a response to the presence of truth.  I'm so guilty of complacency!
As humans we have a desire to be close to the Lord, and I'm so guilty of wanting the Lord so much yet not changing my actions.  We are called to be radical Christians.  God asks for everything-I want to be passionate about giving him everything!  This starts with realizing that although I'm powerless on my own, I can do anything through Christ.  I've become content in my helplessness, wanting God to be the center of everything but not taking the necessary steps to make it happen.  Let's DO something! Let's be radical, let's question what is not of the Lord.  Let's change things in His name, because through Him we have the power.  For myself, it's as simple as turning frustration into an attitude of pro-activity.
