Trash cans make me sad. Snails make me slow. I was not just laughing like a maniac. Toucans are cool because they can see their own nose. Don't eat toilet paper and stay in school. Say no. Have a great day and come again!

New entry time!
Wow, it has been so long! I can't say that a whole lot has happened, except this September I went to an absolutely amazing church conference in Morningstar and I've come back a changed person. If you don't want to read this whole thing, scan it and read the underlined part, Kay? =)

So, before I went to Morningstar, I was really working through some stuff in my life. I knew I needed to run after God, with all my heart, and I thought I wasn't doing a good enough job doing that. But at the AMAZING Morningstar conference I went to, I kind of changed my view.
Sure, there is nothing wrong with running after God. I wanted to run into God's open arms, and then I figured something out. I'm already there.
And now, here's what I got to do. I can't get comfortable. You wonder what I mean, right? Well, I know a lot of people who are comfortable with the way their lives are now, and that's cool, but I beg to differ. I don't want to be comfortable just piddling around, reading the Bible from time to time, and bumbling through life, waiting for things to happen. I want to keep going...
When you love a person you want to know everything about them, right? You want to know their favorite band. Their schedule. Their deepest secrets.
So, since I love God, I should be striving to know these things about Him. Hence my phrase, "Don't get Comfortable". I'm not going to get comfortable just hanging out with God. I want to know everything I can. I want to live for him.
As you can tell, I had a lot of time on my hands while I was gone and I enjoyed every minute of it. I miss Morningstar already. But I can't let people feed me everything. I have to learn about God for myself. And I love Him...Man, I love Him.

Some people may beg to differ with me. They may think I'm too radical.

Radical...Hmm...This is the word I crave to be. I absolutely want to burn for God. While I was gone, I experienced him in ways I never have before. I danced until I lost circulation in my legs-I'm still sore. I cried. God absolutely and completely took my breath away.

Do you want to be in the place where I am now? Maybe you already are. It has nothing to do with me and my "Holiness" or whatever. But if you're reading this now and you're tired of ancient religion, and you're ready to become radical in the love of God then message me. Ask me anything. You can even beg to differ with me. Just tell me what you think.

Because, it's not a matter of "Religion". God isn't religion. God is love. God is...wow, there aren't enough adjectives in the entire universe in any language to describe Him. He blows me away.

Okay, first of all, welcome back!! :-)
Second of all, AMEN SISTA!!!!!!! :-D I am so glad that the conference helped your love for God to grow stronger! I've felt it too, it's pretty amazing! And you know what? You're right! We can't get comforable where we are, we have to keep moving forward! Not only in finding out more about our Lord and Savior, but also in reaching out to people about Him. Too many times I catch myself sitting in my little comfort zone, too comfortable or too scared to move forward, but we have to move!
Great post, and again, I'm glad to hear from you again!
