My brain hurts. There is a lot of information in my brain. Unfortunately, my brain seems to be struggling to make sense of it all. Information overload. The sirens are sounding in form of a pounding headache.
Church has been great, our series is called "Loving Well" and it's focus is on the book of Ruth. The old testament is forgotten by me too often so I love that we are stepping further back into time with many of the series we have done, it gives me an appreciation for the Old that I lack. But it is a lot of stuff for my brain to take in. All good stuff, really good actually. I crave more and could sit for hours listening to the God inspired minds of men, especially on the topic of love. Our world has contorted the beauty of that word and a fresh take on the actual design is much needed. It is going to take a few more times of listening to the podcasts, a lot of prayer, and meditation for me to grasp the "what" and then even more to learn the "how."
The man who gave the message delivered it with humility and honesty. He would say multiple times that he was preaching not to us but to himself as well. He gave examples of his own flawed love in his marriage. He encouraged, and directed us to what the scripture says and how we can come to love well. Love is not self serving, so he encouraged us to pray for awareness in our own hearts. Private moments of reflection followed.
I wish I could show you with the clarity if was brought to me, but it hasn't quite been made real to me and my own heart.
