Wow I haven't blogged in FOREVERRRRR!!!!!! Ok well I didn't die or anything.
Ok today I want to talk about Crazy Love :) Beware, this will be a very random post.
I was watching Pitch Perfect with my friends yesterday and in that movie they reference The Breakfast Club A LOT! The Breakfast Club is my favorite movie of all time!! It's a classic and the storyline is jammed with greatness, even though it seems like it's just a regular teenage movie. So if you haven't watched that movie go watch it NOW!!! (Spoiler alert) At the end of the movie, John Bender is walking on the football field and he does a fist pump because he finally got the girl, he got the princess, the beautiful popular girl that everyone wants. Well I've always said that if anyone ever does that for me I'm marrying that person and after I told my friends they were teasing me about it all night. lol.
Well when I was at youth group last night, we did the song Crazy Love by Hawk Nelson and wow. It impacted me a lot, it made me think about God's crazy love for me, see I haven't always been a Christian so when we were worshiping and the song was saying we were saved by crazy love, I just pictured Jesus doing the fist pump thing, because after 16 long years of the Holy Spirit being around me, I finally decided to accept that it is by grace that we are saved. Jesus already got this girl :) God has this immense crazy love for us that is too big for us to comprehend, we don't get it! And because we don't get it, sometimes we can't feel it, but just because we can't feel it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. See that's the thing, God is so unlike us and like us at the same time, but his definition of love is so beyond what we know. We put a limit on love, he doesn't, he has crazy love, we have this skewed worldly definition of love.
We think love can just come and go like it's nothing. Love is so much more than that, God is like love's physical body and he never EVER goes away, he was, he is and he will always be here. His love never fails, we get this feelings and we have the audacity to call it love, we love our family, our friends, our partners, but unlike God, we put a limit on that. See I think it's so cool how God himself is love and how perfect that is because there's not a single human being alive that I can say I love like God loves, I just think his love is too great, it's crazy!! And he loves all of us like that, his love has no limits for any of us. Wow. I'm dwelling on that a bit this week.
Now, to change topics a little bit but not really, my friend and I started a ministry!! I'm so excited! The name is Rise Above It Missions.
The point is to show people love, for them to know that they are not alone in their struggles, we also have a facebook page and an email. It's not that big of a thing yet but we are praying that this grows, we want to help people so badly! We both have had our struggles and our passion in life is to help others understand that God loves them and that they never ever have to face things on their own. Please check it out and if you want to share your story please go for it.
I guess that's it for now. I miss writing on here :) I've been journaling a lot lately and I really enjoy it but everytime I'm online facebook takes the life of me. lol. I think I have an obsession, ugh, social networks.....Anyways, God bless! Try to find God's crazy love in the little things, they hold tremendous amounts of love!
