Stir the Soul...

There are things in life that impact, there are things that are pondering, and then there are those things that stir the soul. When I look at my own life, I see examples of each overflowing into it, creating who I am today. Now, I have a pretty soft heart when it comes to touching stories or moments. I can watch a sappy movie or read a good book and just have a good ole weep. I mean tears and emotions that I didn't even know I had. And sometimes depending on the quality of the story......it could be impacting on how I view things from that moment on. Then there are things that I come across in my everyday life that make me ponder. Like for instance....we go through life being impacted by things that are slowly captivating our lives. These things impact until the point were we no longer can see if that was our original beliefs or something that has been feed to us from the start. Then and finally there are those things that stir the soul. These types of things are rare and hard to come by...but when found should be kept close. Now when you have found that thing that creates a fire and releases a passion so intense that everything seems possible, it should stir your soul. As you may know I like questions, so here it goes. Why are souls not stirred everyday about the things that fill us with passion? Why do we let things impact us that have no real eternal value to them? And pondering could bring us to this conclusion, so why do we not do it more often? I honestly believe that Christ wants us to live not a life of boring rules and regulations....but one that stirs our soul each and everyday because of how magnificent His love is for us. His love is pondering, impacting, but more importantly that thing that stirs the soul.
