My Person

we all have that person... that one who has seen your messy hair and your messy room. that one who knows your weaknesses. that one who knows what bugs you and what makes your heart full. that one who has seen you at your "could pass for satan" moments. that one who knows the things that make you cry and the things that make you giggle. who knows when you're hurting even when you don't say a word. who listens to all your pointless dramas over and over again. who is always there when you need someone to talk to. who gives encouragement when you're tired and worn. who knows your strengths and your flaws. who knows exactly what to say at the right time. that one who gives and gives and gives and expects nothing in return. who knows your darkest secrets and loves you the same. who forgives every time you mess up. who thinks you're beautiful on your "not so cute" days. that one who just fully understands you. who loves you, even when you're difficult to love.

when you're in a serious relationship with someone, you want them. all of them, all the time. you crave their attention. you want to know everything about them. their likes and dislikes. you desire to get to know them. you want to make them happy, even if it means driving across the united states in a prius (okay, well... do I have to? okay fine) you're crazy about this person. they're on your mind when you go to sleep and the first thing you think of when you open your eyes in the morning. you tell this person everything. uh oh, you promised yourself you would never let anyone in again. and here you are. open, honest and vulnerable. your happiness is their happiness. you can't get enough of this person. you can't help yourself but tell all of your friends, all of twitter and Instagram and Facebook about this person. you're in love. 

for me, this person is Jesus. 

my hope for this blog is to reveal this man named Jesus for you. to tell you about the one who brings grace, redemption and life. the one who craves your attention.  the one who calls you chosen, free, forgiven, wanted and worthy of love. the one who determines your value. the one who knows your innermost being and says, "I still love you". I'm here to tell you about the only one thing that will always remain constant in your life. the only one thing that will bring you full fulfillment. the one who calls you fearfully and wonderfully made.

Jesus is awesome and I can't wait to tell you about Him and the wonderful things He has done in my life. My prayer for you is that you will get to know the Jesus that I know.
