no, i have not discovered that elusive but compelling mystery. however, i am reading "wild at heart" by john eldredge. allow me to share...
"...every woman wants to have a beauty to unveil. Not to conjure, but to unveil....There is a deep desire to simply and truly be the beauty, and be delighted in.
...God wants to be loved. He wants to be a priority to someone...the cry of God's heart is, "why won't you choose me?" It is amazing to me how humble, how vulnerable God is on this point...and certainly we see that God wants not merely an adventure, but an adventure to share....
Eve embodies the beauty and the mystery and the tender vulnerability of God."
so that's amazing. and profound. it reinforces my thoughts on lots of things, namely that male and female were created in the image of God. together, they complement each other and portray God. that's why broken relationships, especially marriages, hurt so much. a woman on her own can raise a family, but it's hard. men and women were created to be together. to work together, to show the truth of the Trinity together. "strength and beauty. As the psalmist says, 'One thing God has spoken, two things have i heard: that you, O God, are strong, and that you, O Lord, are loving.' (Psalm 62:11-12)"
truth is important. it's not relative, it's not defined by this world. it is the beginning, and the end, which is not even an end, because life is eternal. the word is truth, and Christ is the word. seek truth!
and hey, as the trend is going, pursue comments as well!!! :)

you are right, Truth is not relative. sometimes it's just hard to know what exactly that Truth is. that's why seeking Truth every day is so important...something i need to work on. I luv ya Marce!
your life is a revelation of Christ, and so is this journal.
