Sometimes tears feel good...

I am going to fully admit the fact that I am a man and yes I cry. I think it is perfectly okay to cry and honestly sometimes it feels good. Tears came to my eyes twice on Saturday night.

First, a DVD came to my office from our national service center. It contained stories from students on how YFC and specifically Campus Life has impacted their lives. As I listened to some of the crap these teenagers have been through it hurt my heart but then they shared how a YFC adult came along side and encouraged and strengthened them, leading to a few tears. It made me think of all my co-workers and our teams of volunteers who come along side teens every week. PTL for adults who care.

Later that night I was flipping through the tv and found the movie A Walk To Remember on. I am such a sap when it comes to this movie. It can make me cry every time. Yes, this is a teen love story but it is so much more. It is beautiful. Yes, I admit when I saw it with Jen and Bec some many many years ago, I did tear up in the theater...I think I denied that for years. Haha. I am secure now in the fact that it is okay to cry in movies. Needless to say this movie made me tear up again on Saturday. There is something about love that strikes a cord in my heart. Here's a story about a popular bad boy who becomes good and falls in love with the non-popular nerdy Christian girl. Come to find out she is dying yet he does not leave her side. He marries her just days before she passes away. How freakin sad. It makes me think that there is indeed hope in love.

So, I am a big baby, I admit it. =)
