through this site, i believe i'm on a journey & mission
1} to wholeheartedly discover & address who this Good, Good Father truly is
2} to inspire a beautiful truth: there is a beautifully messy Creator who is waiting, expectantly, to involve Himself with everything about you! a Creator who knows every single beautifully messy detail about you, yet loves you more fully than you could ever imagine!
the journey of self, this life, this world, and this Lover of My Soul is messy, and it's worth it.
i believe this incessant, lingering heart-tug i've had to share regarding messiness is something that's been waiting to leap out of me, but it's taken some time {years...and i'll be chasing it the rest of my days!} to wrap my head around it. when you have something on your heart that's changed your life, you can hardly stand a moment to contain it! i believe i've had an ongoing revelation that this messiness is not always necessarily negatively connotated, but is so deeply vital to recognizing my strange, wild intricacies as a complexly created human being living in a highly complex world. i believe that for every beautiful, unique trait we are given as individuals there is an equal imperfect counterpoint that undoubtedly comes forth. for example, from my own behavior {small-scale..the list goes on!}: one who is sensitive yet easily offended. one who is passionate for life yet flies off the handle. one who is loving yet clings too tightly. {larger-scale}..the list goes on!}: one who longs for perfection yet can embrace imperfection.
i believe i am a mess: a human being that is somehow intricately special yet equally flawed. i am messy, and I'm worth it.
i believe life is a mess: {little moments, womanhood/manhood, relationships, long term seasons, life changes, happenstances...} a time that somehow brings forth blessings yet equally heart-breaking devastations. life is messy, and it's worth it.
i believe our world is a mess: a place that is somehow rampant with unrest & injustice yet equally full of beauty & resiliency. the world is messy, and it's worth it.
i believe that seeking a relationship with the Living God is messy: a Name that is somehow the most equally controversial yet adored name than any other. God is messy, and He's worth it.
i believe the gospel truths professed in worshipping Jesus Christ are insanely good promises, & will legitimately flip your world upside-down {in the best ways!}:
my fundamental desire to be known & Loved
{i am already known & Loved by the most High God in Heaven!}
my fundamental desire to lead my self & (un)willingness to surrender
{to find my life, i need to lay it down & let God make a perfect m e s s with me!}
my fundamental desire to be first & find my life purpose
{to be first, i should be last & lay down my life! I lose my life for His sake and find my life!}
i believe the God of the Universe is so ridiculously awesome that He concerned himself with coming down to earth to take on human form // to acquaint himself with human imperfections, in the form of his Son Jesus Christ // to perform such scandalous acts as God himself dying on a cross for every single person to ever live // i believe if we can seek within ourselves to recognize that we are, indeed, beautifully messy individuals, that we can, in-turn, welcome the fact that we are desperately in need of seeking Someone greater & living this short, short life for more than we ever dared possible...
