At 7am. I didn’t mean to stay up all night, but once I got to a certain point, there was no putting it down. I cried so much. I ended up getting about 4.5 hours of sleep.
But now I want to go back and read all of the Harry Potter posts that I’ve been skipping over the last several months! lol. My brain is so full of information! And I really want to finally see the movie!

You know those moments when you suddenly realize something? Something that deep down you already knew, but now it’s solid understanding?
I’m listening an audio book [Radical by David Platt] that I got at work the other day. Its main theme is about how in this day and age, we forget what it really means to live like Jesus. Something he was saying though really struck me and gave me this revelation.
God loves us where we are. He does not expect us to change or become a better person or try to accomplish great things before we come to Him. He loves us right where we are. BUT. That doesn’t mean that He wants us to stay there. Once we surrender to Him, He wants to grow us, mold us, change us into the person He wants us to become.
I know, it’s a very simple idea, but it’s so important. We cannot become perfect in our own strength and we cannot do anything to deserve His love. He simply loves us. But when we choose to love Him and follow Him, He does not allow us to stay where we were at first. He wants better for us than that. He wants us to be more like Him.
It’s a beautiful thing. =]
