My Funny Valentine
My valentines day started out funny. I woke up from a romantic dream which was totally unrealistic as all dreams are. I told my friend Sam in chat today that she was in it [her ex supposedly loved me] and she was amused because I even remembered the guy’s name. It was no one she knew, thank heavens. It would’ve been funny if it turned out she had an ex with the same name.
I didn’t even bother trying to figure out what the dream meant. I don’t believe in interpreting dreams. I think they’re the result of a brain wanting to get rid of unnecessary clutter.
So anyhow. I spent the day with Eda, EJ and April at Jude’s place for her baby shower slash birthday party. Jude is going to give birth next month while April will have her baby a month after. Both are expecting bouncin’ baby boys. No motherhood envy from Eda or me since both April and Jude’s pregnancies haven’t exactly been a walk in the park. And personally, I'm not ready yet for the commitment mothers make to their children, motherhood being the noblest and most selfless profession in the world.

In commemoration of v-day, here's a piece which has pretty much defined the way I view love:
Letter from God on Divine Human Love
Everybody longs to give himself completely to someone; to have a deep soul relationship with another; to be loved thoroughly and exclusively --- but God to a Christian says:
No, not until you are content with living --- loved by Me alone. I love you my child, and until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with ME ... exclusively of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desire or longing.
I want you to stop your frantic planning and to stop wishing, and to allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing --- one you can't imagine. There are things you may not understand now, but I allow things to happen because I want you to have the BEST. Please allow Me to bring it to you.
Don't struggle with Me because I am pursuing you to bless you. Just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest thing --- keep experiencing satisfaction in knowing I am. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you. You must wait.
Do not be anxious. Don't worry. Don't look around in envy at the things you think you want. You just keep looking off and away up to Me, or you'll miss what I want to show you. And then when you're ready, I'll surprise you with the love far more wonderful than you would've dreamt.
You see, until you're ready and until the one I have for you is ready (I am working on both of you even this very moment to make you both ready at the same time) and UNTIL you are both satisfied exclusively with ME and the life I have prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me.
I want you to have this most wonderful human love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty and perfection of the love that I offer you with Myself.
Human love is a faint shadow of My love for you. Know that I love you and that I am God Almighty.
Believe and be satisfied.
So here’s to the Father’s love: unconditional and everlasting, the only love I’ll ever need.
