God as Lover

Book: Captivating
Author: John and Stasi Eldredge
Section: Romanced

"God has written the Romance not only on our hearts but all over the world around us. What we need is for Him to open our eyes, to open our ears that we might recognize his voice calling to us, see his hand wooing us in the beauty that quickens our hearts.

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean

Higher than any bird ever flew

Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens

I've been in love with you.

Stronger than any mountain cathedral

Truer than any tree ever grew

Deeper than any forest primeval

I am in love with you.

-Dan Fogelberg, 'Longer'"

This is such a good thing to always remind ourselves of. When I read it tonight, it gave me the goosebumps and a big huge smile (one of those ones that couldn't get any bigger). Just to remember how much He loves us, nothing can ever surpass it or take its place!!! Who else would send their only son to endure their own wrath; not for himself, but all for us wreched unworthy sinners, so that we may be seen as perfect in the eyes of our Father? No one! It's that simple. 'There is no one like Him and there will never be anyone like Him....'

Thought of the day

"We gotta have love to share the love."

So I've been thinking

If it's meant to be now, nothing is going to change that. So what is meant to be now, should be meant to be twenty years down the road from now. If it's not, then it is safe to draw the conclusion that it wasn't meant to be in the first place...

He is the One and Only King

Most Beautiful One
We come to Worship You
Give our hearts with gladness
Yah this one's for You
Hallelujah
You're the King
We Bow to You
You're the King
The one I'll always run to
You're the King
There's no one like You Your Majesty
Have Your Way in me

Number 12 and 13

#12: Then Karley called me to have one of our convo/discusions
#13: and I love my sister/person/boyfriend, duh!!

Haha you remember why we started calling each other that?
Like last year after summer camp 2007....
All of those conversations on aim at like 2 in the morning
Cause you didn't like talking on the phone
And this is when I didn't have texting (gasp!!)
This one definately takes the gold in the category of: Randomest Conversation Ever

Karley: "You don't need a boyfriend."
Kadian: "Why not? Not like now, but eventually when it's in God's will for my life."
Karley: "Well of course, but right now... it's because you have me!!!"
Kadian: "So your my boyfriend?"
Karley: "DUH!"
