Look out
We are all so broken. We are all kicking and panicy that we are not loved from the very moment we are able to process that thought. Everything that goes on is a gigantic charade on our part to get everyone else to say the answer to our hopeful motions...You are Loved. Unfortuanately our charading is full of piling on things that will never prove our worth. Fortunately God Loves us and His love and care can keep us from this panic, free us from our plastic surguries and even let us see ourselves as we really are, as we deep down know we are...and then say to our open and desperately needing selves..."You are Loved, I Love You, I've Loved You."
And we can take half our lives maybe to sit in a place of needing God to prove to us that He loves us, that we can trust him and then maybe we get to walk a life in a much deeper relationship. And it's Ok that this is the process we go through, I love just a deeply the kids that were in my care even though they had not arrived at a place of semi-selfless maturity, and they were just as exciting and important because at that point in time they were who they were supossed to be. Children in our care
Man what a week. I take those thoughts from things I've read and been munching on. Mostly from Donald Millers book. Mostly from discusions with my aunt Sharron who turns out to be an ever insightful source of good words and good ideas to think on.
And I know it probably looks like I'm a thinker but I have a huge feeler piece of me and it is waking up in new ways and I'm not sure that I might not end up an entirely different creature someday. Or maybe just have different streaks in me that round out who I am.
I'm trying to post less summaries and more thoughts and reflections cause really...who wants to read summaries, we all have lives right? So I think I'll do short posts on different things to keep the strangeness down.
