Sometimes it hurts....

ATTENTION: Another unknown quote (I'd be a terrible researcher)

"I'm not telling you it is going to be easy, I'm telling you it's going to be worth it"

So - I think this quote was probably written about love. Sorta like that scene in The Notebook where Allie is trying to run away from Noah and Noah says

"So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're going to have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, everyday. Will you do something for me? Please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If that's what I thought you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out"

Okay, I got carried away. It is only similar to the notebook through "I want all of you everyday."

Back to the original quote that was originally probably about love.

I don't want to talk about love.

I don't know squat about love.

Except that I do love.

And it hasn't worked out yet.

I want to talk about Jesus.

It's not gonna be easy...I'm starting to see that loving Jesus probably shouldn't be easy. Oh don't get me wrong...It's pretty dang easy in my life. But I think that's a problem. So what if I would be lonely if I moved to Bolivia and everyone in my former life forgot about me (irrational fear of mine). SO WHAT...If that's what the Lord called me to would it not be worth it?

I was reading a blog about circumcision. On older kids. Which is apparently a pretty painful thing. I can only imagine can't imagine at all that kind of pain. But apparently it is better for you. And Jesus talks about circumcision (okay, I don't know if Jesus talks about it...but the bible does) and it hurts right? Circumcision hurts...and our hearts are suppose to be circumcised for Christ. So we can assume that it's gonna hurt right?

But it'll be better in the end?

I'm choosing to believe that today.
