Defining reality.

What is love.

God is love, and I am not God therefore I am not love. But we are called to be like Jesus right? To live and pray and seek Him. Does that mean when we're seeking love we are seeking him? Love is what we're drawn to, isn't it? Is that why I exist today?

If God is love, then love is grace, forgiveness and mercy.
Love is a light, a beacon, the father, the spirit, and the son.
Love is hope, it is strength, it is everywhere we go and everywhere we see.
Love is in us, it is a gift, and ultimately we are called to embody all it holds.
It is steady, it is strong, it is honest, it is pure, it is kind, and it is faithful.
Love promises so much, but without a doubt it disciplines and has everything in its control.

Like people following Jesus, we're following love too.
And without a doubt we slip up and we slip out.
We fall to our knees before we can grip the fence gate.
And sometimes it feels like its too late.
But Love is there, it's holding our face and calling us home to the place He made.

Love isn't what you say it is what He speaks in your name.
Love isn't your will it is the map of His heart,
It's the life Jesus laid down.
Love isn't a choice, it is matter of fact.
God is love, and I choose Him to show me more of what love looks like.

Your asking and I'm saying I'm not ready to die for you.
I haven't yet learned to die for the God of this Universe.

The world looks at our outward appearance but God looks at our heart.

Every once in a while college feels like something different. I remember freshman year when it felt like a never ending camp session, where you could be with your friends at any time and just enjoy hanging out and going out together. Recently though, (I guess now that were getting older) College feels like one big dating site, where everyone's looking for someone else. I am picking out the characteristics I like in the people I meet more often, and deciding what I don't find attractive. In my opinion life is not about finding someone else, and it has nothing to do with marring. Life is more important than that, so I am not sure why I feel that its so important to be liked and attractive to other people. These next two years are going to fly by. Am I living in a way that allows me to enjoy this time of my life? I don't want to keep scheduling things and fitting people and events in. I just want to live and love those around me, including myself. And sometimes that's the ...

Planning According

There's got to be a reason why we can't dig deep sometimes. There's definitely got to be a situation or experience that keeps us from letting love overtake our minds. Why don't we move forward? Why can't one grow to shift the wall of current situations? I'm sadden because I feel I can't be there, because I feel as if I'm not believing or accepting the gifts we've been given. I just want to move closer, I want to move in and unpack the stuff I've yet to forgiven and be forgiven of. Maybe I'm not believing, maybe I'm just not clearly seeing, that the power I've been given can change some habits and bring an abundance of joy to the people who think church is doing nothing. But this isn't a steeple. I'm not taking about an organizational freakish place, I'm talking about a group of people. All I know is that I have a long way to go, and anything can increase but it is he who will bring the true peace. Maybe that's what I...
