It has been awhile! What can I say except life happened :) This weekend life paused long enough to enjoy Beth Moore's 'loving well' DVD series retreat. The premise is that we need to start loving others but first we have to accept and soak up God's love for us. Sounds simple but I have always struggled with fully accepting God's unconditional love for me. Thankfully, in Beth way with words and humor, I do believe it sunk it a little deeper. She used her as an example, that she is a woman and that there is nothing she can do to make herself less of a woman. Long hair, short hair, mastectomy, or clothes don't define your womanhood, it's just what you are. In the same way God is love. It is who he is. It's not an emotion based on mood or our behavior. It's what he is just like a being female is who I am. Hopefully I will read Romans and 1 John in a whole new light. Ultimately I hope to fill my self up with that love it overflows to those around me. I am so used to trying to fill that love through human beings and relationships and that's just impossible. I will always get let down, hurt, and be unsatisfied. God's love is the only thing that can fully satisfy. I am ready to jump in with both feet, get soaked, and splash around in it :)
