So...Life is a way? a Path? a road?

It's always the means to an end. But is Life ever the destination?
For you all Christians, yes I am saved and I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
For all you non-Christians, have you figured out if Life is a destination or not? If so, please share. I'm not excluding Christians here, by all means, anyone and everyone share.

I've read the trite e-mail forwards about embracing life now, but what for? So I choose to quit my job and do what I really want! Is that it? Is living over? Will I die now? What if I change my mind? Life is hardly stable - in fact it is chaos. Something I learned in physics class in high school was that chaos was the natural state of the universe, not order. Order is fragile and can be broken. Chaos, well how can you make chaos worse?

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't believe God put us here to live a messed up life. What I'm putting out here is that we don't fully understand the whole concept of chaos. Just like we don't understand the whole concept of good.

So Life is chaos. My life is somewhat chaotic. I stress and put pressure on myself. I feel horrible and ugly oftentimes. Is that the truth? Or am I allowing outside influences to affect me? What does this have to do with life and chaos?

Everything. My life is what I make of it. And I've apparently chosen to make it one where I am tired, overworked, and surrounded by people I can't bring myself to trust. And yet I strive forward. I'm going to meet new people, and face defeat and while I may falter and fall, I will not stay down.

I'm excited. Life is an adventure, and I want it all.

Leaving being Single behind....

Perhaps I've been slow on the uptake, but I just realized that calling myself a Single Christian was a complete paradox. And not the kind that Jesus, God or the Trinity use. The bad kind that suggests hypocrisy.

Wow, already being a little offensive there aren't I?

Let's break it down, quick and dirty. A single person means what exactly?

Various definitions I looked up quickly (thanks Google) defined a single as someone who was unmarried or in a meaningful relationship. But there's obviously more to it than that, why couldn't we just be called unmarrieds? Why single?

Single implies one. Just the one person right? So how does a Single Christian even exist when the bible clearly states that we are not alone. We cannot walk with God and then walk alone. It's one or the other.

Matthew 28:20b "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

This is just one of many references contained in the Bible about how not single any of us are.

I'm not here to make a big, impassioned appeal to you about denying your "single" nature. I'm just here to simply state - reject that label. We are not single. We walk with Lord on High, and He walks with us.

Lay down your mantle of single-ness and take up your cross and walk the walk that Jesus has called us to take.
