what am i about?
to me, it is important to live, to really live. but as i say that, i really have no idea what that means. i would see myself as a radical, a person that does things that are not normal, that are not socially acceptable, but not for the sake of doing them... but for the sake of pushing others to ignite. for some reason, i see myself as a catalyst, here to push people together and to ignite in them something... SOMETHING tangible to work with. i believe that it is only out of tension that things grow, that only by fire are things purified, and that only by the unending grace of god are we able to live, breath and think... not to mention sing.
i love Jesus, i am not going to say that i love him with my whole heart, because i dont know how to do that... i have been contemplating what being a follower of Christ looks like, because i have seen so many different pictures and ideas about what it means to follow him. I have learned that the only way to really understand the being that named himself the Savior, this God who is in heaven, is to realise that he loves me... i echo the thoughts of Brennan Manning in his book "The Ragamuffin Gospel" when he says "my deepest awareness of myself is that i am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and i have done nothing ot earn or deserve it".
im not sure what the christian life looks like, but i know that i am persuing it... and that in that, God is found. all of the theology we try to put on God, all of the crap we try to throw in the way, it all is obliterated in the light of grace... for the Gospel of Jesus is not one of what you do, but who you know... its relational, its dynamic, its a flowing, moving current of life and love and hardship and joy and good and truth and forgiveness and nothingness, all moved in and through this idea, this river of amazing grace... how sweet the sound!
