The best and worst parts of being me are not knowing the surprises that are in store for me. In fact I suppose that can be applied to all life.
I love her.
Everything about her screams out to my desire.
Her personality is one of fire and warmth
And is refreshing like rain on a warm summer day.
Her voice wraps against my cheeks
Her breath is purer than mountain air.
Through her I have realixed there can be no textbook version
of perfection
I know her faults, and there might be others.
She is not perfect in the general sense where everyone finds her flawless
But she is perfect to me. The flaws others may find in her
Are what makes her so absolutely perfect
Breathtaking
to me.
So just as I now know there is no generally perfect person, besides Jesus Christ himself,
There is no generic perfect life as well. The problems I have in my own life I must strive to accept so that it becomes the perfect life to me. Because of its problems, not in spite of them.
I realize if my life had never been at the bad end of any experiences, the person you know would not exist. Just as a rose dies when placed in a vase with no soil, I would die if I was only bathed in happiness and not nurtured in sorrow.
