Hey yall!
So I was just on Project Inspired's website (linked here), and I read this post about what it means to know God. The woman who wrote it said to look at knowing God like a crush, and honestly, I TOTALLY love that idea! So I just want to say something about that. In the Bible, we, as the church are described as the bride of Christ. All throughout the Old and New Testaments, there's this frequent analogy of us being the bride, and God redeeming us. So looking at getting to know God as a crush is a really cool idea, if you ask me. I mean, think about it. When you have a crush, you talk to them a lot, and you try to find out their likes and dislikes, what makes them laugh and what upsets them, you find out about their family and friends, what kind of things they have planned for their future (or at least recently, that's one I've kind of found to be important!). I think that's kind of a great way to do it. I mean, when you accept His gift of grace and salvation, you're also submitting yourself to Him, and promising to get to know who He is better and better. So you talk to God. And you find out what He likes and dislikes, what His family and friends were like. You look to see what He has planned. I think this is TOTALLY awesome. I was once told that we should live, not just like we love Jesus, but like we're really IN LOVE WITH Jesus. I really like that, but having never really been in love, thinking of it as having a crush on God works pretty well too. So yeah, there's my two cents on the matter.
Also, I really want to tell you about something that happened to me today. I got my email, accepting me to attend STP, which if I haven't yet mentioned it, is a Navigators Summer Training Program. I'm SUPER pumped, and also totally terrified. I mean, this'll be amazing, but also definitely challenging. And I have to accept SOON. So yeah! Pray for me, please! I love you guys!
Talk to you soon!
