Live a life that demands an explanation!

The quote "Live a life that demands an explanation" was not from my own thoughts or words. I heard it during a sermon at church and it totally challenged me to actually live life that made people question me why I live the way I do. Now Im not saying that I am living this insane life where people are like why is she so weird. Well some may think I am odd for following the God, but thats ok. Nor will i ever be perfect at living my life to the exactly how God wants me to live. I can try my hardest to live out His will for my life, but many times I fail to do so. As I pray each day to do His will some days I forget and thats a huge struggle for me is forgetfulness, but in that I learn something new everyday. God has taught me to rely on Him so much more than before once I asked him to break me heart for what breaks His.
People find out different things about me and are shocked sometimes, once I was asked "why is it you put so many standards on your dating?" My answer well I have learned so much from the past and I know that its God's will that I don't just date around how the world thinks I should. There are many aspects to life that I put standards on for myself, but in this day and age dating seems to be such a huge thing for my generation and if there was one thing I could tell each person about dating its this, Do it God's way, NOT the world's way.
Another thing God seems to have challenged me with is to actually get in His word and not just read it and say oh that was a great story. If I just simply sat down and read a story and got nothing from it, what good is that? Rather than if I sat down and read the story and applied it to here and now, wow what a difference! So I challenge you, Live your life so that others are demanding to know why you live the way you do!
