| I'm going to reply on my own site in hopes that you see it
because your site was way packed with comments. The thing that came to
mind when I read your post was what your dad told me years ago "Love is
choosing the higher good for another." Self-sacrificing. This is
definitely what must characterize our love if we are to be even close
to a reflection of Christ. We must chose to say we have no rights of
our own and lay down our lives. Love is not something anyone is able to
do. I doubt any of us will every truly know love, at least love like
the Father intended. But we are given glimpse, little tastes throughout
life. We are given hints of what is to come because we are unable to
experience Love in full. God is love. Simple. We cannot love or even
pretend to love on our own. It would be a horrible mess and eventually
our true self would come out. Only when God lives in us and we are
operating in His Spirit are we functioning in some realm of love. I
don't know if I've even touched on your post but this helps writing my
thoughts out. I believe as we move from "glory to glory" the Lord
enables us to mature and come closer to Him, hence we know Love better
and are better able to extend it to others.
I think a lot of people confuse love with feelings. Love is NOT a
feeling. Christ made choices for us. He loved us. I hate how people
drag the word "love" through all sorts of muck. " I love my car" " I
love to eat." I feel this depreciates the value of what love truly is.
Maybe I should blame it on the english language for not having more
words. Or I could blame it on others for not knowing more
words.Whatever the case, I pray my actions and words here on earth
reflect the love that is True. And I will be cautis to let the weight
of my words fall where it is appropriate. For example, I love my Lord.

| seriously, i think i've said this before but it takes me at least ten minutes each time i come back to this site to remember how to post something. i'm so cool.
a lot has changed since i last spoke here. i am getting married June 10!!!!! 
i am also living in Montgomery trying to complete an internship (which is what i'm supposed to be working on now, but i had to take a quick break...: )Anyways, i really should get to work. maybe the next post won't be too far away.... | | |
| Ah, it's crazy how these things work. You set up a name and then you write and then you forget it exist. Ahhhh. I suppose that is part of having a life. I'm glad I'm not tied to the computer and always sitting in this hard chair living my life through some blog.
I should be writing a paper right now. In fact, I should be writing two (but not at the same time). My mind is still in play mode though, so it is hard to really focus on anything at the moment. My roommate and I went out shopping today and had a wonderful time just hanging out together. It was actually our first weekend this semester to be in Montevallo at the same time. Wow. So, I won't mention how long we stayed out shopping but it was a lot of fun.
eee....I need to go write....Can't do it...Want to sit around and be a bum.....ahhhhhh. | | |
| i have decided (once again!) that i do NOT like being alone. i caught myself walking around my room, eating prunes and waiting for someone to call/come by. i checked my phone. no messages. i messed with the papers on my desk. i thought about playing the guitar. but i did nothing productive. my mind is on being alone. maybe its because i haven't seen jenn all day. usually we are running into each other (sometimes literally ;) and laughing about something random or making the other one hyper. its a great hobby. awww. she's leaving this weekend. what am i going to do without my buddy? sorry. i don't mean to be sharing my moment-by-moment thought process but that is what's happening. "oops!" she said to herself in a empty room. haha. ok. i won't be dramatic anymore..right now.
i seriously have work to do. its a good thing there isn't anyone around to pull me away from stuides..i would easily follow. what can i say? i just love me some people. yummy. alright. i'm going to conquor my homework. | | |
