Love.

Oh they joys of falling in love. We all know the moments and memories!! The feelings that sweep you literally off your feet and then as if your body carried no wait your head is suddenly in the clouds and you cant control yourself!

This morning my alarm went off and a song came on, which Im sure is popular at the moment but it was the first time I heard it. I love love love when my alarm goes off and God gives me something huge to think on. It always does one of two things. Either Im going to lie in bed and really ponder the heart of my God. OR I am going to get up and really challenge my own heart!

This morning was the latter. How many times do you hear, "Dont settle?" I would say most of us at some point in the dating scheme have been reminded of what we are worth and not to settle for less. Some of us hold out and wait for the "desire of our heart." And others of us end up "ok" with so much less than we deserve. So much less than our loving God wants for us in life.

This blog is not about relationships though! Ha. Take all the thoughts that came to mind while reading thus far and now focus on this:

"Have you ever really fallen head over heals for your GOD?"

Has He ever become THAT real to you? Has HE been you sole focus and distraction from life or is life the distraction on a consistent basis? When is the last time you let Him swoon you? When have you let go because He was the only thing you wanted?

And to take it a step further, when did you let your relationship with God and your love for Him be every bit as intense as it possibly could be? Are you in a relationship with God that is a "settling point" or are you challenging yourself to have the relationship with Him that He meant for you? Are you allowing Him to reveal His whole self to you? Or do you want to settle for the relationship that doesnt need maintaining or upkeep?

Listen to these lyrics and then reflect on what you have allowed yourself to settle for, then maybe you will find a the challenge I did this morning to step in with a little more determination and enthusiasm to catch who He really is and how much our hearts are truly drawn to HIS!


Give me rules I will break them
Give me lines I will cross them
I need more than a truth to believe
I need a truth that lives, moves, and breathes
To sweep me off my feet
It ought to be

More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
It's like I'm falling, oh
It's like I'm falling in love

Give me words I'll misuse them
Obligations I'll misplace them
'Cause all religion ever made of me
Was just a sinner with a stone tied to my feet
It never set me free
It's gotta be

...It's like I'm falling in love, love, love
Deeper and deeper
It was love that made
Me a believer
In more than a name, a faith, a creed
Falling in love with Jesus brought the change in me


I dont know about you, but as far as my relationship with my God goes, Id rather my head be in the clouds than a stone tied to my feet!

What do you expect from you relationship?
