Love is Hard

I think I am getting a true hang on this love thing. It is hard, no matter where that love is directed. Before proceeding, I will mention that it is a “very good” hard. Another “very good hard” for me is trying to reduce my car use by biking most places. It is physical and should take more time*, but in the long run it is very good since in is free and should keep me healthy. Hard for me in the sense is something that may take a lot of effort but has a tremendous result.

First of two things to write about. I had some long discussions tonight with my fiancee, someone whom I love dearly. It was a hard time for the both of us, and it was hard trying to figure out the right things to say. (Not just saying the right thing to make her feel better, but to express my true feelings for her.) To me this was one of the hardest things of the relationship. But in the end of our night, I feel that something were resolved and we are still deeply in love. Not everything, but we are still in the working process. I love her and I will do the hardest thing possible if I needed to.

Second, is about the church and the community. Pastor and I were talking about the purpose of the church. I am not sure if we mention loving God and truly loving the members of the community, but it sure came to mind after I had my discussion with Heather. I am seeing the road ahead for the church is quite difficult. But if we love God and the community, no matter the task and the length that we go through it will be a ‘very-good’ hard. In the end we are going to be glorifying God and serving our community. The first things should not be worrying about the little details, but to get the congregation to catch the vision of the fact that Jesus wants us to love the people that around us. I really wish they would be able to hear to songs that have a great message to the. “I Believe” by Building 429 and “The Face of Love” by Sanctus Real. I really need to share them with Pastor Jeff.

Please pray with me as we as humans are try to figure out the divine concept of Love and really what to do with.


*Yes it should take longer to ride a bike, but I beat someone to the same place, going the same distance and leaving at the same time. (You know who you are). Frankfort is a great biking town.

(I Love you Heather! :) )
