Crazy Love

This post does not have anything to do with homemaking, but it might help you understand why I embrace the whole idea of simplicity.  In a previous post, I wrote about how simplifying, for me, is the “intentional promotion of the things I value most.”   This post is about the THING I value most.

 My sisters and I are reading a book together called Crazy Love by Francis Chan.  We are on chapter 2 and I’m loving it.  Our purpose in reading it is to learn about this “Crazy Love” that God has for us, and to figure out why in the world would the same God who created the universe love US?!   What?Seriously?  I know, it seems quite crazy, really.
Below, there is an amazing video called “Just Stop And Think” with a message that I believe is life changing.  It was for me.  It articulates what I believe with all my heart is true, and because of it I will never be the same.  Please take a few minutes to watch it to the end.  Sounds crazy, but it could be the most important video you ever watch.

**do you think I used the word “crazy” enough times in this post?  Trust me, I’m really not…ok maybe a litte..sometimes.

Awesomeness

There is something that I want everyone who reads this to know.  Something I believe with everything in me. Ready?

YOUR CREATOR LOVES YOU
God loves you.  He loves you right here, right now, no matter what you have ever done.  Period.
You are loved.
That’s a pretty big deal!  YOU are a big deal to Him.  He tells us that we cannot grasp how deep, and how wide His love for us is.  To get a taste of the bigness of His love, go to this link, click on videos, and watch the video called “The Awe Factor.”  This video is pretty amazing and shows the bigness of His creation.  When I watched it I just sat for a minute, staring at the computer screen, well, in awe!  I still can’t really fathom this universe that He has created. To think that His love for you, and for me, is even bigger than that?  Pretty awesome.
