Surrender to love like a dive in the ocean.

when jesus came back and peter heard his voice, peter jumped into the ocean and swam to his Lord, my lord. He surrendered to love.

Its sad you know.
In a week you can.
Make your girlfriend cry.
Make new friends.
Get an F on a midterm.
Graduate from Leadership Broward.
And still beat yourself up.

In the Relient K song, ” I find it so upsetting that the memories that you select, you keep the bad but the good you just forget.”

Going along with the Relient K Mmhmm theme,
The weather has certainly been really bipolar.

But like I learned yesterday,
Its all about choice, I have to choose to look beyond what I think people are like, I have to actually listen to people, I have to treat Caroline like the great star I feel she is, I have to remember that life is more than I am and that I need to have joy like the kids did the day we did these pictures.

Jungle Fever Huh? Well the heartache might not be gone forever, but as long as I can have that kind of passion and compassion about the things like the children in the Boys and Girls Club then maybe just maybe I might make it through.

After all God is here. He hasnt left and he just wants me to let it all out and chill. To just breathe. Because every breathe I take I say his name, every breathe I tell of his glory.

Every smile I saw the day I did this Positive Identity lesson with the kids, that is the kind of joy I need to keep close to me.

At the end of the day.
When the chips are in.
When the last words have been spoken.

And alot of us are laced with regret and sadness.
Life smacks you like this.
I still love the beauty of the world.
The Lord is a magnificent artist.

I hope to capture this beauty.
This is love.

Jesus died for us to have real life. And this picture really really shows that.
