Free

Today was a crazy day!
I've never felt so free in my life.
~After leaving my geography lab, I was tired. So tired, not necessarily due to lack of sleep, but from life itself. I've been wrestling with how to really love people the way that Christ did back in the day, as application to my life (which is almost planned every second to the tee). And I realized (not on my own, of course) that I was in need of something. I felt I wasn't fully be able to care for another person because loving someone else when you're not receiving love is dificult. --same reason I thought that maybe I would never marry, but that's a different topic for another day--(Stay with me, this is going somewhere!)
I felt like, how could I give something that I lacked myself?
However, now I am no longer lacking.
Through reading from the book of 1 John I realized what love for Christ truly looked like. It's simply, loving your brother (or sis, you know. lol). But first i had to receive and accept the love of God. I had to allow him to take away the burden, the loneliness, the insufficiency and feeling of "not being good enough" and put on his cloths of love. His love is unconditional. He accepts me. He made me. I was reminded of this today and knowing this, allowed the Lord to take away the pain I was feeling and clean up my wombs--

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”- Isaiah 53:5-6

Now because of this we can love others as well feeling completely loved and full of joy. No matter how we're treated...Christ did it, and he made it so we could, too.

What a relief! but even more so I was so overwhelmed with thanks and gratitude that the One True God would humble himself to this level to this for me, you and those He's chosen in this world whom He loves deeply. Just thought I'd share it by telling you this. Holla

OMG, people care!

Hey, I'm sorta bummed that I missed this yesterday, but FedEx/Kinko's was offering FREE resume copies yesterday in response to the rising unemployment numbers (we're at more than 8% now, i'm hearing). Yay Fed Ex!

I'm a broke college kid about to graduate in May. Couldn't have come at a better time!
