Tuesday.

Hello bloggie..I feel like I kind of fell of the blog earth for awhile. But I really want to start blogging more! I really enjoy reading everyone else's blogs and I wish I had more to say sometimes..Or more things that I felt like I could share to an audience..Anywho..I know this is going to sound weird butttt a few months ago I started following this girl on instagram. (I can't even remember how I came across her-most of the people I follow I have no idea who they are!) I think I started following her bc she always wears the cutest outfits and posts fun pictures..but I also started following her blog. Maybe I'm a little stalkerish? Anyway..I was just reading some of her posts and I came across this one and I feel like I could have written it. It describes EXACTLY what I believe, and how I feel about Jesus. So I just thought I would share it. I honestly wish that everyone would believe this way..it's so uncomplicated and real! Here it is:

What I believe

I believe in Jesus. I believe that He died on the cross for me and loves me so so much more than I deserve.
He died knowing every sin I would ever sin and still chose to.
A lot of people ask what I believe or what my religion is - It's Jesus. That's all.
I am a follower of Christ and will be till I die and meet Him (oh how sweet will that day be?!) so that makes me a Christian by definition.
I don't claim a denomination and I don't have a certain set of rules I believe I have to follow, other than the Bible. His word is all I need.

I know that He loves me just as I am, and that is probably the best feeling in the entire world. Can't be topped. He accepts my colorful skin, my piercings, every bit of me. Those things don't define me anyway. I suppose some Christians have given a bad example of what it looks like to follow Christ, but the Jesus I follow - He is so very rad.
He doesn't except you to come to Him a certain way, He wants you just as you are. He loves you where you're at now. He desires you. Oh, goodness. He longs for you!
He is the best.

I've never come before Him, and felt that I needed to leave and come back when I was having a better day or a better month or year, or thought when I obey his commandments better, then I'll come back and talk to the man upstairs.
Nah. He wants to hold us on our bad days, give us rest. He's not just upstairs either, He is everywhere. I feel him in the warm sunlight, the cold breeze, the stillness of the afternoon. I see Him in sunsets and sunrises, in the leaves on all the trees dancing together, the little birds that fill the air, the stars that hang so perfectly in the night sky, the crackling of a campfire, the peaks of mountains, blankets of snow. He is so beautiful.

Isn't that awesome? It's perfect. 

I hope you all are having a great week! I'm gonna go eat some gumbo now :-]
