Ok so I sometimes catch myself, Ok more often then not lately, thinking "Am I crazy?" or "This is totally crazy?" But man it is sooooo real. It is so intense I never want to go back. I never want to live the life I thought was fulfilling, satisfying. I've discovered in recent months what truly is fulfilling and satisfying and it IS totally crazy! Reading a book by Frances Chan called Crazy Love and it rocks!
Do I really want to live a life so safe, so comfortable, so not crazy that I miss out on what God has in store for me? So what if I risk it all and send a text or call a friend out of left field to just share with them the thoughts of my heart? So what if they think I'm crazy? BUT what if it was exactly what they needed to hear right then? What if I play it safe and keep my passion to myself? What good does it do me to spend my time and energy trying to cap it? What if I jump off the balance beam I've clutched for dear life one day before my King only to realize I played it safe? (See video below with Frances Chan on the balance beam).
Ugh... what if it change your life? What if we lived like eternity really does matter (and IMO it REALLY DOES!) instead of focused on what this world says matters? Does my hair color, my athletic abilities, the accomplishments of my kids, the car I drive, the money I've saved, etc. etc. really mean so much that we forsake the love of our God in order to live up to those standards.
I don't know about you and you can call me what you want but there is only one way and it's crazy, mad, bold love for my King. To steal a line from a friend "the kind of love that makes you do crazy things like jump on the couch (ala Tom Cruise)!!"
So humbly I ask, "What if IT changed your life?" Hmmm... it's changed mine!
