C... B...A... STOP

Have you ever had one of those moments where you feel something so... amazing that you can't even describe it. You can't put to words how you feel, or what your emotions are. They're just THERE and they make you feel amazing. But you can't share with anybody. That's how I feel right now.
I suppose it's the feeling of love, one I have not felt before. Sure, I feel love from my family ALL THE TIME (you don't even know!) but this is love at its best. True love. Pure love. Love from my Creator. And I cannot describe it. The words dance like crystals on my lips but I can't share them with people, or put the diamonds in their ears.
I was reading my Bible at Winter Blast up in Winter Park this weekend (best weekend of my life, you'll learn about it in another post) and I stumbled upon a verse made for me:


"Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God begging for us." (Romans 8:34 NCV)

I find that amazing. It makes me come close to tears every time I read that. The King of Kings, begging for my life. Getting on his hands and knees for ME. Someone who used to curse him and hate him, he's begging for my life. BEGGING. Let's put that into perspective: Pick out people in your life whom you dislike, who you can't stand, and think of yourself begging a murderer for their life.
I will be first to admit I would not do that. I know I wouldn't.
God's love is so pure.
That's what I can't put into words.
These diamonds, this love, it's better than rubies, better than life.

Trip, Ace & Demo,

P.S. I can do a crazy bun only when I am not looking in a mirror.

Sydney this is SO awesome! I remember you sharing this right after we had our devotions at Winterblast, and I kept thinking about that. Begging for someone is so humbling because that person is putting themselves at the lowest point possible just for you! It's incredible that there is such love out there that is always offered regardless of what we've done.

In our history class Jesus keeps coming up...because we're talking about the Romans and how they put to death anybody who wouldn't accept their Gods and worship the dictators.
And I thought to myself hmm...if I lived back then, I wouldn't worship their Gods. I would say yes, I'm defying. I'm breaking the law.
It's humbling yourself to the point of death. But not just dying for what you believe in, but dying to set somebody free. Jesus was the sacrifice to end all sacrifices, and he begs us to do a FRACTION of what he did for us.
