Hey, I gotta “duh” comment for you.
You are alive.
“Wow, Jenna, so profound,” you may be thinking with some slight sarcasm.
No, but let’s think about it. I don’t know about you, but a lot of times I forget that I’m breathing. I forget that my heart is beating. I forget life is a gift.

God is alive.
No sarcasm allowed after this comment. I don’t want to hear any “duhs.” Why? Because if we really, I mean REALLY, believed this statement, then our lives probably wouldn’t look the way they do now. There would be less insecurity, less selfishness, less laziness, less media consumption, less confusion.

We live with confidence, selflessness, motivation, relationships, and purpose. When we get to know this God who loves us inside and out, then we begin to change from the inside out. We begin living for what we were made to do:
