Thoughts.

I want to know that my future husband and partner in life, whoever it may be, thinks that my soul is captivating because he sees God there.

I want him to make the effort to attach our souls together to be one, and to form a life together.

I want him to seek God first, to love him first and foremost, and expect me to,and respect me in doing, the same.

I want him, without excluding his exuberant love from the rest of the world, to love me in a way that he loves no one else. 

The future realm I will spend with this man…will be…insane.

It will be crazy and wonderful and lovely and fun and honest and peaceful and trusting and warm and happy and helpful and…

…kind of like a warm and safe embrace that you never want to break from…

…but you know that when you pull apart, you’re still together, and you can face the world…

…ready to take on its challenges…

…with God’s help, and all for his glory.

Risk It.

Every choice, every decision made of our own free will for God in our earnest love, is sincere, honest, and a great risk. In taking that risk, though, we form a bond of trust with Him and build our faith…and we make room in our hearts for love. Every time we choose to risk a little more, that much more do we trust, and love.
And humans, as beings formed in your image, do the same with each other…as we take the risk to love one another…how much greater is that love than the fated love of destiny? The risk of choice, freely made…a choice that didn’t have to be, was nonetheless made…a choice that, once made, could still be undone…how much more precious is that love, that though it may last forever, could be torn in just a moment?
Incredible trust…incredible faith…incredible love…

Great Gravity

From Blue Like Jazz  by Donald Miller. The words speak for themselves…

What great gravity is this that drew my soul toward yours? What great force, that though I went falsely, went kicking, went disguising myself to earn your love, also disguised, to earn your keeping, your resting, your staying, your will fleshed into mine, rasped by a slowly revealed truth, the barter of my soul, the soul that I fear, the soul that I loathe, the soul that: if you will love, I will love. I will redeem you, if you will redeem me? Is this our purpose, you and I together to pacify each other, to lead each other toward the lie that we are good, that we are noble, that we need not redemption, save the one that you and I invented of our own clay?

I am not scared of you, my love, I am scared of me.

Words of comfort?

You don’t need a man right now. Sure, you want one, you may even think you need one, but what you are doing right now is growing individually—spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, etc. It’s quite possible that without being intentional, having a man would hinder that growth. So, yes. You will have a man one day. Probably when you stop thinking about it and it’s the furthest thing (truly) from your mind. Then it might possibly change your world. You don’t need to waste your time with these silly, passing fancies because you are classier than that. Also, maybe the guy that will find you isn’t quite ready to meet you, either. Give him some time, will you?
