From the heart of someone still struggling.

Let Jesus Break Your Heart
Mikayla Short

I know, I know.. The title of this article doesn't quite make sense. Hopefully by the end, you'll understand what I mean when I say, "Let Jesus break your heart."

Growing up, I never really knew what love was. I knew my family loved me, and I knew someday I would find a boy who loved me, but I didn't know what actual breathtaking, unconditional love was. That was until, I let Christ break my heart.

I was so used to the "routine." What I mean by that statement is that, I had a set schedule when it came to my Christianity. I went to church every Sunday and Wednesday. I prayed when I was supposed to and I memorized the Bible verses I was told to. I thought that's what loving Jesus was. I thought it was supposed to be a routine.

I was wrong. Oh boy was I wrong. It all hit me when I was fifteen years old. I was attending a church camp during the summer. I went through entire week just believing that it was fun and nothing really serious. I was living by that "routine." On the last night something changed inside of me. Something was breaking my heart for all the right reasons. I realized that Jesus loved me unconditionally, no matter the mistakes I have made. He DIED for me! He died so I could be saved. And this is how I have repaid him?

My heart was broken by Jesus and it was repaired by HIS love. So if you have not found Jesus, or even if you have, I strongly encourage you to let him break your heart into a million pieces. Let HIM put the pieces back together. Let him LOVE you! It will be scary, but I promise you it will be worth it. Let go and let God.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
