Thinking can be a dangerous thing

I am been thinking recently about why I live my life the way I do. I know that the path I choose isn't a popular, especially in today's world. Why isn't a Christian lifestyle popular? Why do people live Sundays for the Lord and the rest of the week for themselves? Why isn't every Christian out there in the world setting the world on fire with their love for God? I think it's because most of us have never and will never have that really exciting conversion story that you will always read about, always hear about. It seems that if you haven't had this great experience then you can't really follow in their footsteps and live how the live after their conversion. I think that this is a shame. I've had my conversion experience, but it was nowhere near exciting enough to have published. Heck, I don't even share it with too many people because it is just that boring. I grew up Catholic, I decided to stay Catholic. While boring, it is very important to me. It was a time in my life when I was very uncertain and chose God instead of this world. Now, I am pretty sure that most people out there have had a similar experience to mine, humdrum and not much to share. Why do these things stop us from showing God's love for us to the world? Those really important stories that make it onto the news and get book deals are few and far between. Way more of us change just a small way because of a friend, but we think that it's not important enough for God. Well, it is. I am by no means perfect, and I struggle with living for Him every single day of my life, and, despite my hopes, this will never change. But I am going to challenge myself to remember that my story is just as important as Mother Teresa's or someone similar, at least to God it is. I am going to let my story help me set the world ablaze.
