If life is a highway, why can't I drive?

How does one develop a passion in life? You know, that drive that pushes you to be better then you are.

The reason I ask is b/c I’ve decided that I have none. Yep. No drive. No passion. No desire to better myself. It’s kind of depressing actually. I find myself talking about all of these great things I want to do and all these changes I want to make and then when it comes to following through with these amazing plans…I choke. I just don’t care enough to actually get off my lazy butt and make something happen. Then, I actually have the nerve to talk about how crappy my life is.

So this brings me back to my initial question. How do I get the drive? That self-motivation to be a better person.

I guess I’ll just sit here, do nothing and think about it some more…that seems to be the theme of my life lately.

Just what I needed

Isn't it amazing how God uses people to confirm things in our lives?

A personal struggle I've had over the past year is finding my purpose in life. Why can't I find a job using my degree? Why am I working where I am? Why am I single? What's next? What am I supposed to do next and how soon can I get the heck outta here?

I've found myself constantly being so anxious about my future. So much so, that I was missing the moments. I haven't been soaking it all in. If I have to live this life, why spend every day being discontent? Why not appreciate what you've been giving and live each day to the fullest?

Back to God's confirmation. I was working this weekend and was talking to a military man that I really respect. Not knowing my situation at all, as he addressed the group he touched on the very issues I have been struggling with. He said that he found himself asking God why he was punishing him, when finally it clicked...it's not about me, it's about Him.

Of course there was more to the speech that I won't go into, but the point it, his words were exactly what I needed to hear. I'm so thankful for a God that uses people to confirm things in our lives. It may not be in an audible voice, but it's comforting to know that He cares enough to use others to speak to me when I need it the most.

Check out Psalm 27

It's a great way to offer some encouraging words to the troops and chaplains and let them know you are thinking/praying for them. To the 1.5 people that read this blog...pass it along! :)

When you...

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
And when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
The flames will not set you ablaze.

Isaiah 43:2

This is when you know you suck.

So my mom offered to buy me a subscription to Equally Yoked or E-harmony for Christmas.

Yep. Not really sure how I feel about that.

"Soulmate"

Incompatible, it don't matter though
'cos someone's bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
You're not easy to find

Is it possible Mr. Loveable
Is already in my life?
Right in front of me
Or maybe you're in disguise

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why
I'm on my ownIf there's a soulmate for everyone

Here we are again, circles never end
How do I find the perfect fit
There's enough for everyone
But I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Most relationships seem so transitory
They're all good but not the permanent one
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told

Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told

Somebody tell me why I'm on my own

If there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone
