Have you ever watched those action packed movies where at the beginning life is just normal. You have possibly a man going about there everyday task or woman and then BOOOMMM!! Life begins to take on this new exciting adventure. Someone gets kidnapped, a commuter bus gets hijacked, the bank their in gets robbed and their held hostage, or the always high intense car chase. Whatever the scenario may be life takes on this adventure where people get into big brawling fights, ducking and dodging bullets, jumping out of windows, all these different things to survive and accomplish whatever mission that has been set before them "all of a sudden". The person or people are put in a situation where they really have to determine what is important to them, they have to make quick decisions, and think fast or in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 KABOOM it is all OVER!!!
What does all this mean? Well as I was doing my morning duties I was thinking, I remember one time I thought how boring life can become and wondered what it would be like to go on an adventure. I'm sure we all have thought about going on some adventure, for most of us it was probably when we were kids but I had this thought as an adult. My life really seemed boring.
Well, if it is an adventure you want, try this....LIVE BY FAITH!!! When you truly surrender all to God and say I trust you with my life and take a stand to live by faith...let the adventure begin! You will start to go on this emotional roller coaster, you will find yourself ducking and dodging fiery darts of negative comments, blocking blows to the stomach from someone you thought would be excited for your stand of faith, jumping over hurdles of financial stress, taking leaps of faith out of windows where you can only hope to land on something soft and not break a bone. Living by faith can become a real life adventure.
Now don't get me wrong, what would an adventure movie be without "love scenes"? Where the hero is ultimately fighting for a purpose, perhaps it is to get the love of their life back from the hands of the enemy, or a child that has been taken. Whatever the love scene that takes place it is because of that love scene that makes-women, most likely- cry at the end because love saved them.
There is always a reward at the end of the battle but sometimes it is because of the battle you find out what you are really made of, what you can really accomplish, what your life really means. Sometimes we have to -by faith- step into the fiery furnace, sometimes we have to step out of the boat, how else will you know if you can walk on water?!
Living by faith is the core substance of LIVING BRAVE! It comes with a relentless belief that I am going to run on, I am going to fight, I am going to overcome, but the I AM can not be YOU it truly has to be the I AM that I AM...God who gives you life and strength because without Him you truly can do nothing.
So now I say, take a chance to have your own life adventure, reality TV can start in your own home. You do not have to live vicariously through some figment of TV's imagination. Your life does not have to be boring, get up and really take a look at your life and ask yourself, "Am I Living Brave?" or are you living in the false security of your own bubble never to fully extend yourself to see what you are truly made of?
Think about it and then LIVE BRAVE....How Chic
