Crazy Beautiful

The other day it occured to me that at this current moment my parents go out more than I do. It seems when I come home from work, they're out gallavanting and out until early morning hours on the weekends, when I am already sleeping.
So first I thought, should this bother me? I'm 23-shouldn't I be going out all the time, trying new places, going three states away on a moments notice, barely getting any sleep and enjoying being slightly irresponsible from time to time?

After thinking about this for a few minutes, I realized I couldn't figure out why i felt weird about this. I mean, it only occured to me that this could be strange only because of the standard culture has set for me, and for us. In actuality, it doesn't really matter. Who cares if I'm different than most people my age? It wouldn't be the first time for sure.

The thing is, God wires us so individually and intricately. The utter joy of Him loving us all the same and loving us completely with a non judgemental attitude is crazy awesome. I mean, everyone wants to be loved unconditionally. Every single person wants soemone to accept them even if, like me, they LIKE staying home on a Friday (or in the case at our work-Thursday) night. Or even if they are complete nerds who get excited over teensy things and talk to themselves and sing way too loud and plays music everywhere she goes.

And God does. 100% completely and abundantly. He doesn't care your status, or how you stack up or compare to other people. He wants you to be you, and me to be me. I think that's what makes His heart jump with joy. When He looks down and sees His kids playing around, being comfortable and accepting with who He made us to be, while running hard to be closer to our Creator. To Him, that is beautiful in a crazy, silly, perfectly created way.

I want to live to make Him smile.
