Motivation

So what motivates you?  That question has come up lately in our family as we really settle in to the school year and deal with homework on a daily basis.  For an HS junior, there has to be some self-motivation as the notion of freedom really takes hold... but this is not a post about parenting.

Really the question is, what motivates you in general, and more specifically, in your Christian walk?  Rarely do I talk to someone who says, "I'm really happy stuck in neutral in my faith journey."  Even someone far from God is likely to realize that "something" is "lacking."  However, it is a different story when you begin to talk about a plan for forward movement, and certainly, for most of us, the wheels really come off when we begin to execute that plan.

Which brings me back to the original question:  What motivates you?  You can talk about your drive and motivation all day long, but if you don't actually DO something, you really aren't motivated.  Why isn't there a greater desire to move forward... closer, in our faith walk.

If you... if I really want to grow closer in our walk with Christ, then we must evaluate why... When we realize how much He loves us and desires to dwell with us every second of every day, we may begin to unlock the keys to motivate us to give our selves over to him every day.  Motivation found...
