Birds on a wire.

Its been a weird week. Full of life, but also full of lies.

After leaving King George this morning at 730 after our decipleship group, I realized just how easily I gave into lies this week. It scares me that I am only now realizing it. That I went an entire week being distracted by things less than true. Empty promises that build me up temporarily and then fade into nothing.

Empty.

I think being empty has the potential to be beautiful. Because being empty allows you to be full again. Being empty leaves room for something. So in a sense, I am glad to feel this emptiness. Because I know that sometimes being empty causes us to take notice to the things in life that are missing. To the love that we  could be experiencing but choose to forget. To the hope that is true. The hope that leads to faith. And the faith that leads to the grace we are promised.

Because its impossible to stay empty.

As I drove back to campus down king george highway I realized that it is impossible to be completely empty. Even though you may feel it at times, there is something in us that gives us life ALL the time. Jesus. Even when we dont believe, He is there. Fighting for our attention. when all we can see are lies, he is there. even when we have started driving in the opposite direction he is there.

Because he doesnt give us up. or hand us over.

Instead he loves.

Something about watching a ton of birds fly off a telephone wire this morning made me think about love. I think that his love is alot like that. Beautiful and graceful. And swift. Like the image of a flock of birds moving in sync together. Maybe Im crazy.

As promised, heres my song :) ps. i only mess up once. try to ignore it.
