"jesus is saving me. he's saving me from my sins, from my mistakes, from my pride, from my indifference to the suffering of the world around me, from my cynicism and despair, the brokenness i see in the world around me is true of my own soul. and so he's rescuing me. moment by moment. day by day. because god wants to put it all back together. you. me. the whole world.
so he starts deep inside each of us, with our awareness that we need help, that we need saving. that we need rescuing & then he begins to show us. step by step. what it looks like to put flesh and blood on this gospel because we all fall short. and that's the beautiful part.
broken. flawed. vulnerable people like you and like me, are invited to be the hands and feet of jesus who loves us exactly as we are and yet l he loves us way too much to let us stay that way."

on another note: loud, annoying people follow me. just today alone, i have sat down in a coffee shop in 2 different places, only to realize that they found me. the loud one on the phone. or the one slurping louder than the music in my headphones. or burping so obnoxiously that i looked for a camera, knowing someone must've been playing some sort of hilarious trick on me. no cameras. these people are serious.
if you are loud and annoying, you should recognize your behavior. it's distracting for everyone. and as a disclaimer, if i have EVER been that person. i'm sincerely sorry.
