falling in love with life

Tuesday, August 15, 2017

I think our society sometimes only focuses on romantic relationships & friendships, and all the others just kind of get glimpsed over. But i believe the word love means more than that. I’m not here to tell you that you shouldn’t have these relationships because my goodness without them, i don’t know what i’d do. I love my friends & family with my whole heart, but i think we can do even more with our hearts. God made us to love. He made us with a heart that beats about a 100,000 times a day. A heart that was MADE TO LOVE. so let’s use it. Jesus tells us to do everything with love. He didn’t say to love only the people we like or the situations we are happy with, He said to do EVERYTHING with love. Yes, by everything that means the girl that is just a pain in the butt. The boy that broke your heart. Everything means everything. The toughest of situations- we need to learn to love them. Be grateful in them. It’s often the worst of times that i feel closest to God, so let’s embrace them. We need to not only love the people around us, we need to fall in love with life itself.

The coffee dates with your girls.
The “wear your pj’s all day” kinda days.
The eye opening sunrises.
The jaw dropping sunsets.
The pretty yellow flowers on the side of the road.


Love it, Love everything.


But we also need to love the crazy.


The rude people in the hallway @ school.
The stressful days.
The long days.


Ya gotta love em.

Without love we are nothing.


Learn to love. Love well. Love hard. Love because He first loved us with the purest kind of love.

but don't ever get love confused with idolizing, always remember who the King is.


This earth is our temporary home (i say this singing trying to be carrie underwood but its failing:/)


But we can still enjoy the ride while we are here. You can spend a 10 hour car ride complaining & hating the whole thing OR you can sit back, relax and listen to some good music….. your choice. Ya might have some traffic, but hey ya get to listen to some more Thomas Rhett (or whatever gets ya jamming!)


Okay wow i took that cheesy analogy way too far but i think you get the point- enjoy the ride & love it, but don’t forget the destination and who is behind the wheel *hint hint He can walk on water*


Wow im still going with the analogy & im still singing “Jesus take the wheeeeeeeeelllll, take it from my handssssssssss”  


okay i really need to stop, bye friends !!!

xoxo, j
