REVELATION!

That is pretty much how I felt going into this week - so flipping scared! Thank goodness for Shauna and the chance we got to speak to each other Monday morning before I started the week (helped soooo much!).

I wish everyone could have a week of studying the book of Revelation – it is SO beautiful! Yes, God did some pretty huge things including making me not so scared of the beauty of his word. Like do we actually realize that this book is the greatest gift ever? It is the most epic, beautiful, and descriptive story of the gospel… there is no new information in this book. All the scary end times’ stuff is the same thing Jesus tells us in the gospel books, and we don’t seem to freak out and come up with these crazzzy theories. I guess it is important to remember not to take the imagery and numbers literally because they all have greater meanings to the Jews (who were the original readers) and it paints such a beautiful picture once we know what each picture and number means! So pretty much my mind was blown out of the water from the moment when we started, day one all the way till the end! We just got heaps and heaps of information and it was the most amazing thing of my life. I love that I'm starting to see that if I just give the bible a chance to speak to me first before I give up on it or before I lay my own judgments on it, it has SO much more to say and a way better way of saying it:)

It hard being in this school sometimes, because every second of everyday we are learning how amazing and huge God is(odd I know). Yes, it is also amazing but I was (and am) getting to a place with seeing how undeserving I am of him, its like before I never really understood the depth of the gospel/God's heart for me - not the candy coated version but the raw honest TRUTH of God in this world and in my life. It is undeniable and beautiful, I am falling in love with God in a whole new way because I am starting to see the very basic small details of what he has done for me and I am going to choose him NOT because of what people have told me but because I am in love with him and he is in love with me.

God is doing a lot right now in me and around me, which makes sense because I am being willing to open the doors for him to explain and reveal HIS truth to HIS word!
