Well, my ticket has been booked and in one week I am off to the beautiful land that ruined me for the good. I am beyond excited and filled with so much joy that it's beginning to seep out of me. However with all the joy also comes a little sadness with leaving some people behind. Which brings me to this thought that has ultimately bothered, hurt, and frustrated me to a point of now ranting.
I think its funny how people think that love is supposed to act a certain way. And if it's anything outside of the norm than it gets questioned. When looking at the life of Christ and the love He had, it was selfless, everything about it. And I think we all to easily fall into the idea that love requires chaining each other down. But yet Christ died for the sake of freedom. It does seem a little contradictory. So my question is that if your relationship is supposed to exemplify the love Christ has for his church, then why are suffocating each other? And why is anything outside of that looked at as crazy? Now this may be a little uncomfortable for some, however we were never called to a life of comfort. So me leaving to go to Asia which is something I feel so compelled to do, while my husband waits to hear from His Maker seems crazy, but should it? Love sometimes can be confusing because we let emotions filter in, but from the actions of Christ it seems quite simple. Until we as a people start really understanding that love moves past the boundaries we gave it, we will never truly love how Christ intended it. So lets unchain each other, walk in freedom, and see what happens.
