Time to Clear The Way

I'm guessing that a lot of the people that read this blog are not huge Hawk Nelson fans. They are a Christian rock band that I had heard a bunch of times on the radio, but really enjoyed live at both Winter Jam and The Rock and Worship Roadshow. But, although I enjoyed them, my boys fell in love with their style and because of that the music has been played a lot at my house, much to my enjoyment. I mention that because today I want to start examining some of the lyrics that are to be found in their song Let's Dance. Here is the chorus:

And I don't wanna look inside myself cause
Then I'll have to change somethin' else and
I don't want to live, like someone else
I'm happy in my skin, bein' myself
Let's dance

Now, if you've really let those lyrics sink in, you know exactly what they are saying, right? This could be the anthem for the majority of America today people! Instead of looking at ourselves we'd much rather point out the faults in everyone else. If we were to really look at our lives, wouldn't we find a lot of the same things that we point out as wrong in other people's lives?

Well people, over the next few blogs I'm going to try and make us start looking at these things that God wants us to change in our lives. We're going to look at the items that are in the way between us and God and keeping us from being all that he wants us to be! I hope you are ready to clear the way with me and to examine your life, because we have a fun trip coming!
