I can't just sit here and deny what the Lord has done in my life-in the past summer, in the past month, in the past week. I wouldn't even know where to begin, but I'll try.

Can I just stop for a minute and brag on the Lord?? I think I will, thanks(:

GUYS DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I MESSED UP THIS WEEK?

Do you know how many times I judged someone?

How many times I looked at that person in the hall and thought something negative about someone?

How many times I pushed Christ out of the way, just so  I could feel comfortable?

Okay, yeah, you get it.

But guys, HE STILL LOVES ME! Guys, nothing can separate us from God's love-especially not our own sin. Hello? Isn't that why Jesus died in the first place? Somehow, even though I turn my back on Him every time I sin, he still looks at me and loves me? Is he shaking his head? Yes, because I"m being an IDIOT! But he still LOVES ME! I can't even really explain why this is making me so excited right now, to the point of tears. I'm not sure what to write because there aren't words to describe how in awe I am of how much he loves EVERYONE unconditionally! "The King is enthralled with your beauty. honor Him, for He is your Lord." Psalm 45:11.

WHY is the creator of the universe looking at me and calling me beautiful when all I seem to do is drive that nail deeper into his wrist? I mean, duh, it's because He's GOD. And that is so stinking legit. But flip it guys. God is perfect. Yeah, we all know that for SURE!!! And yet I went through this week at school, and so often I would think about the Lord, see something else and run after it instead of Him-because it was "more real".

Stop.

Stop.

STOP.

Maybe I"m being sassy cuz it's late, and because I'm tired. I don't think I'm usually like this. But it's all good. But seriously! GUYS. WHAT IS MORE REAL THAN A GOD WHO HAS DIED FOR US? WHat is more real than our Lord, who walked as a man on the earth (and come on, we all know that earth SUCCCKS), and then endured a more painful death than we could ever IMAGINE? And he did it for us, the broken, lost and stupid sheep. It almost leaves me speechless to think that when he died he did it for me, a sinner. 

I feel like tonight is one of those nights where I'm just blessed to feel the Lord's presence...  He is so cool, and I encourage everyone (and myself too!!!) to get to know Him more. Ugh, He loves us so much!!!!
