the 'more to come' came
well, it's been awhile since those last thoughts passed through my head, but here's the reason behind it. about 2 weeks ago i came to the point where i was fed up with myself. fed up with the delicate balance of wanting a boyfriend sometime, but knowing i was okay without and appreciating/being attracted to different things in different boys, but again, knowing i wouldn't really want to be pursued by said boys. what to do with all my desires?? then Jesus spoke (i love it when he does this....then again, sometimes it kicks me in the head) and simply told me to date him. now i've told myself, read to myself, over and over again that Jesus IS MY LOVER. the reasons i am attracted to any guy are the very things HE IS. but it never quite sinks in. and i'm not saying it has yet, but here's what i discovered. every attribute that attracts me makes me want to spend more time with that person. now, this is very elementary. i love Jesus. i can choose to date him, be his girlfriend. and while i can appreicate the (for example) musuclar arms of some random guy, my Jesus has just as beautiful arms! he does! and i see that (not that alone, but this is my little illustration) and i can date him! this beautiful Son of Man who loves me, not just the me i pretend to be, who is all the strength i need, want and desire. passionate pursuit? yes, in my Jesus. His arms are all i need.

Marcia, WOW! I was just floored by this...date Jesus! Like you, I know that He is my Lover, but it is my choice to date Him...Wow! I'm going to chew on this...Wow!
hehe oh Marce you make me giggle. i think this is awsome thing to recognize, that God is our greatest love. I think this is an issue for women that are dating and married too. as corny as this sounds i think your future husband will truely appreciate these things you're going through right now. i think it's important that we always remember to fall in love with Jesus cause he's the only one that truely knows our heart. men try and we love them for it, but their love is lacking and God is complete and perfect.:)
i hope all your papers and midterms work out. and when you're stressed out take a hug from God he's pretty hot... hehe ;)
