 HOW I KNOW I AM ALIVE

i had this thought today:  even though i'm hurting right now, i'm excited about it because it means that i'm alive.  some people go through life and never live.  i know i'm alive, really alive, because i'm hurting.  i'm hurting because i care.  and i care because i'm alive, because i'm really living - loving people, being loved, loving God, being loved by God.  does this make any sense?  nick said one time, "i'd rather live in faith and get a little wet sometimes (referencing peter getting out of the boat) than to live a life without faith at all."  and i guess on the same line of thinking:  i'd rather live life caring about people and get hurt occasionally than to live all by myself forever.

NOTE:  all of this might have come from listening to the leann womack song i hope you dance on the way to work today.  just a guess...

Big Steve once said, "I'd rather feel conviction than nothing."

Good thoughts.  Thanks for sharing them!  I love that song.  I sing it to Julianna when she will let me rock her, which is not very often.  But I think that it sums up my prayer for her life - that she will not be afraid to really live.  I hope that I can be an example of that to her.
