Every man dies, but not every man lives

I love country music. Trace Adkins sings a song called "Songs about me" and that is how I feel when I listen to music period, but country especially. Jason Aldean has a song titled "Every man". The key line that I love is that every man dies but not every man lives. I want to live. I live cautiously most of the time but I want to be daring...bold...wild at heart...strong...

I want to talk to that student who looks like they are at the end...the kid no one gives a chance...I want to go for it and ask that cute girl out...I want to go without find out some adrenaline rushes I have been missing out on...experience God through nature...grow a beard...have massive pecks and washboard abs...lol...(I can dream a little right?)!!!!

I do not want to conform any longer to the pattern of this world - Rom. 12:2 - and be passive, not accepting responsibility, but challenging myself as a leader and investing in those around me. Being the best in life that I can be...saying yes to God before I know where He wants me to go and then being courageous enough to step out into the unknown and follow Him.

I want to be an awesome boyfriend, then an awesome husband, then an awesome dad...I want to love God and make Him known...I just want to live and be alive.
