community

my heart is craving this. i think i experienced this on a really small level in college but when i read acts i know there is wayyyy more the Lord desires for us as far as living in community with believers goes. oh.my.gosh i know i was created for it. its all ive been thinking about that lately. along with honoring all people and freedom and jesus calming the storm and well a few other things i guess. :) but COMMUNITY is a huge one. lord, please do it. one thing is for sure, it requires sacrifice. so maybe the lord gives the conviction to a group of people and they sacrifice things and make it happen? i dont know what it will look like, but im excited about how Jesus will do this in my life.

I love that the holy spirit just busts in at the most unexpected times (ie, right now sitting in the homewood library studying chemistry) and just starts filling me with wonder and awe over the beauty of Jesus. Ahhh more lord! The all powerful, gentle, humble, servant and king. The LION and the LAMB! Oh my.

My heart broke today in sociology class when talking about religion. Jesus is not religion. He’s the most beautiful, kind, gentle, patient, happy, fun, powerful, loving man to ever exist. If they only really knew Him and not just church structure and “rules.” It’s not about that. It’s actually the complete opposite of that. And even though it might not look like it on the outside, in Him is the only place to find true FREEDOM. He’s a real person, alive and ready to fill you with love like nothing you’ve ever experienced. Literally something supernatural and from heaven. Holy spirit, reveal the beauty of jesus to my generation. Let them know you’re good. Tear down the walls keeping them from you.

Thank you jesus for being so alive inside of me right now. And being near and real.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?!!?!?!?!?! oh the wheels are already turning.. cough california cough. :) :) :) im excited about what's going to happen. the lord always has little surprises up his sleeve.
