Life without the tiptoeing

"All around you, people will be tiptoeing through life, just to arrive at death safely. But dear children, do not tiptoe.
Run,
hop,
skip,
or dance,
just don't tiptoe".

Above is taken from the book, "The Irresistable Revolution" by Shaine Claiborne (Ch.8). I'll continue on with what he says.
...
In my youth-group days, I had seen all too many wild would-be Jesus radicals fall by the wayside because they had never been trusted with the adventure of revolutionary living.
When I was a youth leader, one of the highschool kids who had "given his life to Jesus" got busted only a few weeks later for having acid in school. I remember asking in disappointment,
"What happened, bro? What went wrong?"
He just shrugged his shoulders and said, "I got bored".
Bored?
God forgive us for all those we have lost because we have made the gospel boring. I am convinced that if we lose kids to the culture of drugs and materialism, of violence and war, it's because we don't dare them, not because we don't entertain them.
It's because we make the gospel too easy, not because we make it too difficult.
Kids want to do something heroic with their lives, which is why they play video games and join the army.
But what are they to do with a church that teaches them to tiptoe through life so they can arrive safely at death?
...

The idea that I myself am tiptoeing around in life has stirred something in me. I don't want to be like that. I want to in waiting or moving whenever God has planned a season for it.
Another thing, I want to follow the example of rivers, moving within those boundary lines that it runs. Boundaries is what makes rivers beautiful, is what makes it's beauty.
I don't want to be death-still swamp. No boundaries and layed out ready to dry up.

I want to be hopping, skipping and dancing. Tiptoeing takes too much effort. Haha, at least to me it does.

I hope that in sharing the gospel I won't make it out to be too easy, cause it's not. And I see so much that many want to make something heroic out of their life.
I do. I want my life to mean something and go into something that will last. Something that will be good.

I want to know what you guys think, feel free to comment. Especially my youth if you're reading this! Do keep in touch with me while I'm away. I'll miss you.
