Have you ever felt like that?  Like your faith isn't really alive?  Like you've been settling for just going through the motions of the Christian life?  Well, what if we said no more?  What if we refused to go through the motions, broke free from those ruts we get stuck in and chose to live a life filled with passion for God?  

I started this new online community at www.matthewwest.com where we can all have the opportunity to make our own 'motions resolution.'  You can sign up for this online community, and post your own personal commitment.  Think of an area of your life where you want to see improvement, or where you know you need to take a step forward and grow in this year.  Then post it on the community, your post will be anonymous, but it will allow everyone else to see that they are not alone.  We all have that struggle as we try to live out our faith.  But with God all things are possible, and if we choose to give everything we have to Him, He will lead our lives to amazing things.  

So, check it out.  Go to the website, and click on the "Motions" link, and read all of the posts that have already been submitted.  I am sure it will inspire you to do the same.

Oh, and one more thing, I am going to send your resolution back to you every few months to remind you of your commitment and encourage you to stay strong!  

So, here's to an awesome new year, and no more going through the motions.-mw
