So, i feel that there's this tension in life. it's between what you believe and how you live. some of us, or maybe most, believe that the world should be different or that we should be different from the world at least and yet our lives are quite similar to the status quo. it's because of this other tension: Does my life and my little individual actions make a difference? i don't see anyone around me (or maybe hardly anyone) living out what i believe. ---but i've been thinking about this lately and what i hope is that as we change our individual actions (be it whatever it is that you would like to see happening in the world around you) others will see your life and maybe the reasons you live the way you do and become inspired. even if that didn't happen (which i think it would) i still think that individual actions make a difference. your life is not so small that it doesn't affect anyone or anything around you. that's why we ought to listen to the words...
"Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise, but as wise making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is." -Ephesians 5:16-17
