I was 15 years old when The LORD rocked me with Himself. I had good grades, recently divorced parents, a not-so-stylish-wardrobe, size 0 jeans and tired legs from running so much (literally). All of a sudden these people showed up on my doorstep who were in love with Jesus in a way that I had never seen. But once I seen it, I wanted it. They started speaking all this truth into my fragile life and it was so good. So good that on April 15th, 2012, I got down on my knees and got real. I'll be honest- I'm not too sure if I even spoke. But I remember this overwhelming desire, need, thirst, to have God. I remember urgency and excitement.
And that's it.
In a moment, He rocked me with Himself. I got down and freely handed my life over to my sweet Saviour without having a single clue what it meant. I had no idea- I mean I actually had no stinking idea- what a life with Him would look like or bring. It's been one heck of a ride for three and a half years with my Jesus. But oh, has it ever been beautiful. Don't get me wrong- there has been a lot of pain, trials, mess ups. There's been a lot of hurt and a lot of stuff that The LORD has had to work out in me. But boy oh boy has there ever been good times. Life with Him is big and abundant and loud and peaceful and daring and still and joyful all in one breath.
My heart remains the same as it did on April 15th- I just want Him. And He let's me pour out so much through paper and ink... or a keyboard and computer screen. Share in it with me? Will you? Let's all just speak or write or think about Jesus. If you've never met Him, can I invite you to the cross? Where He gave up His life for you. Where He became sin long before you were born so that you may live freely. You're real messed up and caught up, but He's got a whole new life offered to you at Calvary. He's got so much for you. Won't you come and take it?
Let Him rock you with Himself. You won't be disappointed.
And that's it.
