Loving Well
September 24 2005
God is so cool. Beth Moore is so cool. I went into this weekend feeling really outcast cause i was one of the only high schoolers on the trip, but the people didnt really matter...the only think that mattered was God and his divine plan for my weekend.
I immediately know God was planning something big for me when Beth revealed to us the theme of the weekend....what was it, you say? LOVE! seems trite, i know, but it was exactly what i needed! As women, we, all too often, feel unloved and inadequate...she made me realize that God loves me with His sovereign love and that i love because He loves me...his love allows me to love others...so, my love is an outpour of his godliness. also, if you know me, i have a lot of enemies...no one i hate but people in my life, who i would just not rather associate with. so God taught me through Beth Moore, that i can love all the testy people in my life...i really can!
With all this talk of love and feeling loved, i've come to the realization (with the help of a few amazing women and few much needed conversations) that i am not feeling special...so, i will soon be making a very big move for me...something i am not comfortable with at all...something that will make me cry, before, during an after...something i already feel the pain it will bring. this is the time to be vague, but everyone will find out soon enough...i just hope it turns out for the best...
i love you all so so much...even the people i dont like all that much...im trying!

re:title of post
the whole weekend i thought "loving well" meant that i was learning to love the people around me in a better way...but this afternoon, she plainly told me that "He is the Loving Well, the Living Water" its not about how we love someone, but how much we love someone and if we love the way God calls us to love.
**edit**
i have officially made my first attempt to love someone more...someone i dont really like...

Im glad you had a good time. Im also excited that God is teaching you new things! Man Love is such a hard thing to really grasp. It is a gift from God and one of the deepest feelings we can feel while on this earth! Yet it is so hard to do and attain. No one can love like God himself, that is why we should look to him for an example (like u said). It's cool how it works that way. Oh well I hope you have a great week at school!

that's a hard thing to do. it's rare that somebody steps out and decides to be the bigger person regardless.

the conference was amazing! i loved it! and it's exactly what i needed too! on the bus ride there i wondered what she'd be speaking about and i thought to myself "i'd love it if she talked about love" haha amazing! God definitely had reasons for both of us to be there! and yay for ur 1st attempt today! :o)
