Lately, I have been thinking a lot about that Switchfoot song "This Is Your Life". It has really been hitting home.... especially one line in the chorus:

This is your life. Are you who you want to be?

No, I'm definitely not who I want to be. I have way too many things that I struggle with and fall into that I would like to have control of... I am so sick of saying things that are inappropriate.... I am so sick of dimming my light at the benefit of befriending non-christians....I am so sick of not having self-control and having a lack of patience with people.... I am so sick of how judgmental I can be... I am so sick of how I can be so lazy...

I know that God's grace washes over me and that He will help me get all of these things out of me or work them into me (whichever benefits His glory), but I'm impatient, and I want them fixed now. Yet.... I'll just pray...

I do think it's good though to sit back and take a look at what one's life has become to evaluate it. Sometimes it can get so easy to just ignore or not notice little things that we do daily/ hourly/ weekly that we don't mean to... It's just good to reflect upon what God is trying to change in us, our responsiveness to that, and also what we need to be working on.
