"I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well." ~ Diane Ackerman
Tomorrow is not promised, but today is here. How are you living it?

* Chris Shook said, "If you don't live full out the way God created you, the world is going to miss out... What the world needs is for you to become fully alive." What impact could your life have on the world around you if you truly began to live passionately, take risks and trust God completely?
* What is one thing you would do for God if you knew you could not fail?
"...our lives on this earth are temporal and finite. It's a natural part of being human - we're born and eventually our bodies will die. Instead of finding this fact depressing or paralyzing, if you're willing to face and own the truth about this aspect of your life - that it will end as you know it here - then you can truly be free."

The Challenge
What if you only had one month to live? How would you make each day really matter? What would you start or stop doing? How would you relate to others? One Month To Live authors Kerry & Chris Shook have challenged us to: Stop Living Like It Doesn't Matter!
Are you suffering from "someday" syndrome - always waiting for someday when your schedule calms down, your finances improve, or your kids grow up so you can begin to live the life you've always dreamed of?
Consider how your perspective would change if you found out you had just thirty days to live. After the initial shock, you'd probably resolve to squeeze all you could from the days that remain. You'd say what you really think. You'd love with abandon. You'd focus on whatever you care about most. In short, you'd stop wasting precious time, and in whatever time you had left, you'd throw yourself into becoming the person God intended you to be.
Why wait to answer the longings of your heart? You can live this way now, thriving in a life of passion and purpose as you engage fully in each day. (from One Month To Live)
