In Tune

I had the most amazing experience today. Last week Pastor told us that we had watched the last Rob Bell video that he had and I was really devastated because I love them and they always have something that really applies to me. Today, however, he had just gotten two new ones so we watched one. It was called Rhythm, which was really amazing for me because it had all sorts of good music analogies which hit incredibly close to home. Through the entire video I felt like he was talking entirely to me. Everything he said was almost entirely identical to the things I have been struggling with. He'd say something and it would just click. It was so awesome. I was writing things that he said down, but I ended up getting hardly any of it because it all fit so well, I think I'm going to have to buy it. In a way it was rather ironic because I was so excited that I couldn't follow what was happening in geometry and I kept messing up. While I realize it's not the solution to everything I have been feeling, it feels so good to have exactly what's been inside of me voiced.

"Maybe you have this sense like you have no relationship with
God because of all these things, these ideas you have about what that means, all
these that you've been told about what it is or what it isn't. And an infinite,
massive, kind of invisible God, that's hard to get our minds around, but truth,
love, grace, mercy, justice, compassion - the way that Jesus lived,
I can see that.
I can understand that.
I can relate to that.
I can play that song."


"May you come to see that the song is written on your heart. And as you live in tune with the song, in tune with the creator of the universe, may you realize that you are in relationship with the living God."
