Quoted: A fun God
"We associate all the fun and excitement and neon coolness of lifewith the world and leave God all the boring, discipline-flavored moments. He's like eating broccoli. We know it's good for us, but it's still broccoli. But that can't be right. GOD IS WILD. He's constantly saying, "Let's go find cliffs to jump off of," and,"I know exactly what you need, because, guess what, I put that need there." He created my heart and the deepest desires I have, and there's no yacht or nightclub on the planet that can access those spots of me like God can.
And besides, he invented sex. And not just "let's make a baby" sex--He invented "whoa, the world just tilted on its axis; I can't believe we get to do that and go to heaven too" sex. Sometimes we act like we were the ones that discovered it was fun, like maybe God was in heaven and was surprised to see how enjoyable we were able to make it. "Whoa, I created that for procreation purposes; I had no idea it would be so awesome." And so we give the world credit for sexand think that God is only down with the functional version, but the fun version, the wild version, that's probably something Marvin Gaye came up with."
- "Telling testimonies that are exciting right up until the moment you became a Christian", Jon Acuff
Linking up all over the place.
Oh my WORD, I love this, I've never heard of this author, I gotta go find him! This was incredible. When I first started reading I was like, man oh man is Ferial ahead of her years, and then I saw it was someone else who wrote it--then I thought to myself, SHE IS STILL ahead of her years for being WISE enough to know how BEAUTIFUL and Spirit filled THIS is!!! Love you to death!

Humorously written! I feel like I'm rediscovering It/Him/That/Her, or whatever put us on this earth and I feel the same way you do. He is the source to everything, he is omnipresent.
