my crush.

Is it weird to describe my feelings about my church as the same feelings you would have as a crush?

Over the past year and half that I have been attending Jacob's Well, I have fallen in love. I have given it my heart. And I will say it wasn't a love at first site moment when we first met. I had reservations and was confused, but the Spirit inside said, be patient. Wait it out and I will reveal something beautiful that you have never experienced. So I waited with great anticipation. I waited through the lonely Sunday's of not knowing anyone and pushed through awkward conversations with strangers. I was committed to making this work; whatever the cost.

And the end result.

Love.

I have become involved in a church that embodies the meaning of the body of Christ. I love the diversity. I love the authenticity knowing that grace will be shown to all. I appreciate the freedom that I experience in worshiping Christ individually and communally. I cherish the friendships that I have made and that continue to bless my days. I value the deep respect for theology and exegesis.

I wait expectantly and with great anticipation every week till I am reunited with Your Body.

So Jacob's Well, it's true. I have a crush on you.
