Crazy little thing called LovE

What exactly is love? Like what does it mean when we tell someone we love them? Is it saying we care for them a lot, that they are sweet? Yeah, sure that's part of it but there is just sooooo much more to love than people realize and this deep word, love, is taken so lightly now-a-days. So whats it's definition? What is love? I have come to the conclusion that it's unexplainable...like how can words describe love? They can't, that's why we have the word love to bring all those overpowering emotions, and unexplainable feelings into a single four letter word. It's that moment when you look at someone and realize you feel crazy feelings for them and you never want them to leave your life cause without them you'd never be able to embrace this feeling again...it usually hits you at a random moment as you look at them you discover that this incomprehensible feeling has hit you smack dap in your gushy heart and good thing for the word love cause without it you couldn't describe this indescribable feeling you have inside you towards this incredible person in your life. At this point you know you are head over heals and so you say those extremely powerful words "I love you" and (hopefully lol) they know exactly what you mean cause their heart is as gushy as yours. <3

Now that's what God wants us to feel for Him and longs to make our whole heart gushy and melting for Him because He loved us sooooo much that He died for us!! wait...Whattt!? That just proves that love is such a powerful thing that God would die for us cause He has an overwhelming, unexplainable, indescribable, everlasting, super powerful feeling inside His heart for US! It's so magnificent that He sacrificed His life and bore all of our sins and trouble cause He has an ultimate care for us and loves us so much that He never wants us to leave Him and longs to eternally be apart of our lives, never having to be separated from us again. And we feel this love pouring out over us and ask ourselves "нσω ωєяє ωє ℓινιηg вєƒσяє ωє ƒєℓℓ ιη ℓσνє ωιтн συя נєѕυѕ αη∂ ∂ιѕ¢σνєяє∂ тнιѕ ℓσνє؟!" And so, our love for God is 100x more powerful and 100x harder to put into words than the love we feel towards a person in our everyday life BUT we take this love we feel from God, understand its power and can't help but spread it to those we care about in our life. Oftentimes, God gives us a special someone who He desires for them to take the love He has shown towards us and run with it. To take hold of it's power and allow it to mold them as a couple and to show this feeling to each other so that Gods love is glorified through their life together. Now if someone has refused Gods love and doesn't allow it to impact them then they will never experience that true love one can have for another. Satan will define the word hate for you but love is not in his vocabulary. Our teacher needs to be Christ, cause He alone holds this indescribable love that we long for, and He alone will help us understand it and allow us to share it with others so that His name will be praised. If we don't have Gods love in our life then we can't have love at all because Gσ∂'ѕ lσνє, Dєƒιηєѕ lσνє. So next time you say I love you to someone, really embrace what that means and thank God for allowing you to spread this amazing feeling to others.

My Support Letter :)

Dear Friends and Family,

Hello! I hope all is going well with you. I have recently finished my last semester at Cayuga Community College and have a strong desire to go out into the world and be used by God and to declare salvation through Jesus Christ. He has been doing wonderful things in my life and I know he will continue to work in great ways . Recently, He put on my heart that I need to be willing to move and do things outside my comfort zone in order to be used. Youth With A Mission (YWAM) has provided me with this opportunity to grow closer to God and reach out to children in need. I will be attending a Discipleship Training School (Compassion DTS) this fall at a YWAM base in Kona, Hawaii. This will be approximately six months long. For twelve weeks they will train us and better our knowledge in God's Word. Then, for the remaining twelve weeks, I will be sent out on a field assignment. The outreach will focus on reaching poor, needy and children at-risk. This may take me to places in Cambodia, Rwanda or possibly other countries. We will be reaching out to those living in absolute poverty, the homeless, those struggling with life addictions, women and children at risk, and those who have been sexually abused, trafficked or enslaved. These issues need to be addressed in more places than we realize. Over the years, I have been desiring more and more to go out into the world and help people, mainly children, who are longing for hope that can only God can give. Compassion DTS is purposed to move it's students to acts of kindness and love toward children at risk, the poor and the oppressed. I have been praying and know God is calling me to do this and would greatly appreciate your prayers. I am currently working full time at a daycare and putting the money toward this trip. However, I am still a ways away from the amount I will need. While prayer is a vital aspect in supporting any missionary, finances are also a concern. I am asking that you would consider praying if the Lord would have you support me financially in this fight for children's freedom and safety. The following are my expenses and due dates: Lecture phase= $4,210 (Due September 29), Field Assignment= $5,000-$6,000 (Due October 16). The theme verse for Compassion DTS is from Micah 6:8 "He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." This DTS promises to be a place of growing deeper with God and an opportunity to make a difference for eternity. I am excited to see what God has in store and I pray He uses this to bless many in great ways.

Thank you and God Bless,

                        Mindy Meyers
