Oh Captain MY Captain! Seize THE Day!! I dont think i ever really grasped this saying back in 8th grade when i first had watched the Dead Poets Society (Good movie by the way..check it out! ) It's so funny how this world works..I am sitting here in a coffee shop just watching people come in and out..analyzing who they interact with one another. How they are constantly surrounded in relationships. We desire relationships. We were made for them. Deep ones. With deep being subjective what does that even mean? Who defines how deep a relationship is..how deep is too deep. Can it ever be so deep that you give someone everything you have..mind, body and soul..or is that only created for the One above? Love..love..love. It all points back to it. I can't even wrap my mind around it..i love it (haha) But if i have been learning anything about Seizing the day lately..its that I am always trying to please people..trying to make them love me..when why? I know there is only one that truly does and thats all that matters. He will never love me any more than he already does and he will never love me any less. I get so worried that i am not going to do the right things to please my Father..that i am going to screw up time and time again. I just need to love him..seek him from my heart. I know he wont be disappointed.
This life is a crazy one. such a roller coaster of emotions..or joyous events and hard times. But how can we not be thankful? Okay time to get out here and share some love with my friend Ryan who just showed up! :)
God is good.

Oh my goodness Noel! We were talking about all of these things at community group. It is so awesome to know that God is working with all of us on this, I guess he really has been working with all of his on relationships from the very first day we were born and some of our most intimate relationships we will ever have begin. Have you ever read Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller? Oh and also I was just curious, what do you think about your question: "Can it ever be so deep that you give someone everything you have..mind, body and soul..or is that only created for the One above?"
I also just wanted to say thank you so much bringing our community together this year. I have learned so much about Jesus, life, love, creation, salvation, friends, family...I guess life and Jesus would have sufficed :) I really mean that from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Jesus truly touched me through you and everyone else when we were all together figuring this world and eternity out and I don't think I have many more special things than those nights with Jesus and everyone else.
