What doesn't matter to you?
See the pendulum continues to swing. The key is not in whether or not they matter or don't matter... it's WHY they matter. Jo, you hit it with your post. I was wanting someone to say exactly what you did! Stop saying things matter... when you can't explain why they matter. Because everything that mattered three days ago also didn't matter three days ago. It's the why behind the matters that gives the value.
Think of every action as a currency. The dollar bill you hold in your hand when you pay for your lunch... it really isn't worth anything. Yet it is worth everything... it's the actual gold behind the dollar bill that gives it its value, not the paper and green ink that make it up. The actions you take each day, they mean nothing void of the why behind them! Don't worry Andy... I still think they matter... I just think they also don't matter.
That is why I can't give you 10 things to care about that will make you a passionate person... you better find the passion for yourself and you won't have any trouble finding a million things that matter! I can help you refine the things that you think matter... but I can't find the things that matter to you!
SO... what matters to you... what doesn't matter.... WHY???!!!

It matters because I care. I care because I want to. I want to because I am passionate. I am passionate because I can't help but be me. I can't help but be me because I was designed that way. And who designed me that way? God. So ultimately if I pretend like something does not matter to me, when it does or vice versa, I am really saying I do not care about God. God doesn't matter.
But God does matter...alot. Actually more than anything else. He matters more than what Ken thinks about me, more than my gifts and abilites, more than me proving ANYTHING to ANYONE, more than being able to lead others. Ultimately HE matters. Not ME, I, or WE, but HE does. At the end of the day that is all there is.
So what happens when what someone else thinks about you is what God thinks about you... does that mean that you do or don't care what people think?
I do care what others think. In fact, I care way too much. I am in one ditch, but refuse to go to the other ditch. There is a balance. And I have a question, how do I know what you think about me is what God thinks about me? (not just use specifcally, but people in general)
ahhh "wife of Paul" I think you get it. ... sometimes we have to stop trying so hard to get it. The point behind it is that it's ok that what other people think matters, as long as you know why it should matter, and then again it doesn't matter what people think as long as you know why it shouldn't matter. Except for why... nothing else matters.
OH and Kudos on the metallica reference... Must be a change addict thing... I love them!
Pease porridge hot,
Pease porridge cold,
Pease porridge in the pot
Nine days old.
Some like it hot,
Some like it cold,
Some like it in the pot
Nine days old.
I liked the Metallica lyrics, so I thought I'd add my little flavor.
