should be sleeping

wow..i work in less than four hours...why am i not sleeping?

here's some things to think about...
"We were meant to live for so much more...Have we lost ourselves?"-switchfoot"

Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds, and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."-Ephesians 4:19-24

i think as Christians we sometimes compromise our values because we, in a sense, lower our standards because we claim the title 'christian.' ok that didnt make sense...work with me here. like...we can joke about things and do things that arent necessarily wrong, but at the same time dont really glorify the Lord and justify it because we claim our intentions arent the same as say, non christians. however, i think christians are held to a higher standard, but are we really holding each other to that?? i can see why non christians are skeptical of christianity. we're hypocrites. i'm one. We are given the gift of salvation and eternal life and all the Lord wants is that we strive for holiness, seek the truth and live by it. By no means do I think that this is an easy task. its a daily struggle. if i had to choose whether the Lord was going to say 'well done, my good and faithful servant,' or have a disappointed look on His face...i would probably go with the latter most days. We WERE meant to live for so much more...can we keep each other accountable to that???
