Being free rocks.

"There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God." (1 Samuel 2:2)


An awesome friend sent that verse to me this morning. I've been thinking about it all day, actually.. The fact that there is nothing that can compare to God. I mean, I try to compare things to Him all the time. Like affection? Or.. security? Both are things I run after; things I think will give me freedom or peace. 
Nope. There is nothing that compares to God. No person, no feeling, no object, no religious ritual. Nothing. 
He alone is God. If I didn't know He satisfies, gives joy, gives peace, heals, and protects... then why would I even try to live for Him?! I'm the type of person who needs proof to believe something. I'm a doubting Thomas. 
But I can say, fully confident, that yeah. God is real. And God is good. He is worth more than anything I could run after in life. But only because He's proven Himself real time and time again to me personally. I can't tell you to believe what I believe. Who am I to do that? That's God's job. He opened up my eyes, He can do the same for you. And that verse I wrote down above, well... It's extremely controversial. No one wants to be told that there is only one way to do something, one thing to believe in, one way to live life..etc. I sure don't. That sounds like a bunch of rules and rituals to follow. 
Is that freedom? No. It's bondage. Freedom is waking up in the morning, feeling ok with the people who usually irritate me, smiling when my body is in pain, laughing for absolutely no reason, and best of all? I have something to live for. Someone. And it's not a one sided thing. I don't just give and give and give to God; He gives to me. He gives to me moments of joy that surpass all the crappy days. It's crazy. I can't explain it. And honestly, I don't even want to attempt to. I can't explain God. I can't give words as to why He is so insanely incredible. He just is. And you know what? I actually like not being able to explain God entirely to people. It shows, again, how insanely incredible He is. If He could be explained, then why would He be God? If He wasn't worth giving up my life to follow, then I would call it quits and walk away. 


Yeah. Just some thoughts. It's been a long day; a long week! But it's over. And the weekend is HUR! Yes. It's barely even 9:00, but I think I'm going to call it a night here soon. Girl be pooped. 


SNAP. I just realized I get to sleep in tomorrow until 9:00. NINE! That's going to be fantastic. I'm pumped. < And easily excited. 


Mmk. Goodnight.
