So ... a thought
I was realizing in church this morning that in 2 weeks (the ski retreat) it will be two years since I became a Christian .. and i am a completely different person ... the same goes for Miss Mrowka .. it's kind of cool to have like .. an anniversary .. to mark the days i started my relationship with Jesus .. even though there was a process leading up to it .. i think me and kaleigh should say "happy birthday" or something of the sort .. i dunno .. maybee dance ... or something ...
I can't even imagine what i was like 2 years ago .. i should ask Derek .. he could tell me .. he was like my mentor .. or my mirror or something .. what a whole different world .. I remember how it felt to be that hopeless .. that desperate for the people in my life to affirm my worth .. and i mean .. it's deffinately still there .. but it's like a splinter ... not like before ...
I read "searching for God knows what" by Donald Miller durring the last week and, like Blue Like Jazz, it was a phenominal book .. with amazing metaphors that just .. make sense .. undeniably .. well anyways .. in it .. he compares walking with God to falling in love .. and I think that's one of the most potent ways that i've ever seen the gospel presented ... as a love story .. a marriage proposal .. it's powerful stuff.. He also compares it to the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet .. comparing Juliet to Jesus and Romeo to someone "falling in love", so to speak, with him
just some thoughts ..
i love you all very much
