I named this blog love unscripted because my dear friend and I thought it perfectly captured our view of love. Love flows like a river without boundaries, direction, or limitations. It is a rhythm, a pattern of love set into motion by God. We need this flavor of love in our lives. This love we need is often contrary to the love we are told to take. We need the insane kind of unscripted love that abounds from the doors of God's heart. But we are told to hold onto "man-made" love. Love that is altogether predictable and ordinary. This post is a battle-cry, an attempt at encouragement, to the women wounded by "man-made" love. Dear sisters, I have watched you surrender to a version of love that abuses your heart. The sparks in your eyes are fading. I see you are weary from the challenges of love. Take courage and keep fighting, because you are not alone. Do not let the world take away your tutus. Wear them proudly, dance, and embrace the wild whimsy God has given you. Let yourself experience the love you were created to exist in. I beg you to be stubborn. Refuse to listen to the tempting whispers of the lonely, the desperate, the selfish, and the weary. You are beautiful, be brave and allow yourself to feel beautiful. Take pride in your va-va-voom and shake those tail feathers. You are a girl, a woman, a daughter, a lady, a princess. Be you and just you. You have earned the right to love and be loved simply by existing. Do not accept the love you think you deserve. Because love is not deserved, love is given.
