If I walked into a church, the walls would probably fall down. I bet Id get struck by lightening if I set one foot in a church door. Mbritches would set aflamin if God caught my rear in a pew. Um, no. So grab your jacket and start putting on your shoes. I know I have been ever so sweetly inviting for a long time now...well, this morning (due to circumstances of an El Diablo nature that may have involved a chase outside and a favorite Roo Barbie and a tackle...Im changing clothes...again.) So we are in hustle mode and therefore you are just going. Here, pour me a coffee while I find a clean pair of socks. If the above statements were true...I would have been a crispy fried blonde nugget under a pile of church rumble long ago. I hear it all the time from friends...a reoccurring theme of, Im too big of a hot mess for God to accept me (the first time, continue to accept me or reaccept me). Heres a little sumthin-sumthin that you should know..e over here...Im gonna whisper it.... this an important secret so listen reeeeeal close....WE ARE ALL HUGE MUCK UPS!!!!! And God knows it. Its like this, if you are waiting for your life to be better or perfect or even a smidge less craptastic until you let God in...you may never let him in. If you are someones child or have a child of your own then you already understand Gods love. The same way that we will disappoint our parents or our children will let us down...we still have and give unconditional love. We know that kiddo is gonna make mistakes. Big ones and small ones. But our love for them isnt weaken by those. Our love never changes. We can be sad and feel let down and even feel their rejection and it will sting...but never do we stop loving them. That is God. But a bazillion times stronger. So when you give me that look of do you know what I was doing last week and you want me to go to church?! or even if I told you all that I have messed up, you would never invite me....you can look back at me and know that Im a big screw up too. And God loves me. And God loves you. In all your muck. In all my muck. And there is freedom in that. Not that you will continue to roll around in it, but that there is a love that sees past that and just like a parent with a child...wants you to strive to be better, but loves you even in your dirt. So come on, lets go watch the walls not fall down. And your booty not catch on fire. Ill take you to my church or we can go to a church you want to try. Ill just go with you. Because sometimes its easier with someone beside you...Ill even bring a fire extinguisher if it makes you feel more secure.
