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.

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...

Indescribable Seasons

What are we doing, as an individual as a country? What are we searching for, what are we hoping to find or discover? What answers do we need answered? It's hard to believe in people but not the system. It's even harder to believe in the dream but not the process of getting there. It's becoming a battle of mind and heart, spirit and body, tongue and ear. What hope can we have for our families and our neighbors? Are you speaking, am I receiving, or am I interrupting and shouting my response back. To glorify The Lord is what I hear, to love and give and love and give without looking back. But like a dog whose chased multiple balls, I'm worn out and need a nap. What's my role, what was the goal. What are we all running for? To take part but not be a part, we then cannot expect to overcome the past. Have we lost faith in Him or have we given up asking. Who are we impressing? We're cycling. Cycling. Cycling. I'm not talking about a simple fix, I'm not ...

Talk to me Lord I will listen

This November I got the chance to watch home videos and learn a little more about my life- understanding more clearly what happened between my parents and potentially why God had planed it that way. I want to document this, I want to right everything running through my head right now, but I cant. I don't need to. I love you Lord, I want to give all my worries up to you, I want you to take control. I care about him God, I think I may love him, and if that's so and he isn't a part of your plan then please help me to close the door completely before I follow yours. I wont be a replication of my mom and dad.
