bonjour! I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day! I did. I ate Chipotle! In case you haven't figured out yet, I adore Chipotle, to the depths of my heart. I teary sometimes when I eat it (partly from emotion, mostly from the fact it's so spicy my lips burn ;). Eating at Chipotle is a beautiful experience to me. ;D
So a quite few months ago, a very disturbing question about myself came to my mind. I was extremely puzzled for a very long time. One day, my thoughts said, "If you were guaranteed to go to heaven when you die, would you still follow Jesus now?". Um, wow. For a while, I was sickened with fear that I wouldn't. That if I knew I would go to heaven, that I would deny my Jesus and and live my way, the easier way. Oh goodness, I was terrified of of myself. I really was. I hadn't realized how unfaithful I could be. I was seriously disgusted with myself. How could I judge people with little faith when I had little myself?
But over this past while, I've come to realize that I would follow Jesus even if I would go to heaven without Him. Jesus has always been so good to me. Oh I just can't even describe how he's provided. He's given me so much; A family who loves me, a safe and warm home, a level head and I can imagine having better friends. He loves me when I don't love back, He gives me peace when I'm troubled, and fixes me up when I'm hurt.
The question for me now is: How can I not love Him? He's just the best! Aw, my heart sings to think of Him. Aw.

Woot Woot!! Love the new look!
that is a very interesting thought and it's a good one to have, for far to many people in the church live in idolatry, not always idolatry with money, cars or themselves but i lot of times it's idolatry of heaven, heaven can b an idol like anything else, because lets face it everyone wants to go to heaven they just don't want God to be there.
so good though keep on it, and remember God's love ain't just it's for now as well.
wow i messed up that end so bad, i ment God's love ain't just for heaven it's for now as well.
