hold me tonight, tonight tonight
From a journal entry i wrote in my real journal:
"And we -who are we, really? We are not pond scum, nor are we the lead in the story. We are the Beloved; our hearts are the most important thing about us and our desire is wild because it is made for a wild God. We are the Beloved, and we are addicted. We've either given out heart to other lovers and can't get out of the relationships, or we've tried our best to kill desire (often with the help of others) and live lives of safe, orderly control. Either way, we play into the hands of the one who hates us. Satan is the mortal enemy of God and therefore ours as well, who comes to offer less-wild lovers, hoping to decieve us in order to destroy our heart and thus prevent our salvation or cripple our sanctification." -The Sacred Romance, pg. 148
The Beloved. I am the beloved. Why, Lord, would you pursue me with such ferocity? With thousands of beautiful flowers each day? With endless sand on the beach and with a gorgious sunset sky? Lord, you are the ultimate romancer, and you constantly capture my heart.
---------------------------------------------------
isn't that a neat way to look at God? He truely is a romanctic God. i highly recomend the book "the sacred romance" to anyone. i'm not done it yet, but i love it! Possibly one of my favorite books.
Ok, lately my live has been so busy. and confusing. but all in all, it's been pretty good. I've worked a lot. I'm changing majors from a BRE (bachlor of religious education) in youth ministry to a BA Religious Studies and i very may well be living down by the school next year. It is a lot more expensive, but also a lot more convienient. we'll see how it goes. i'm pretty sure i'm going to do it. it should be SO fun!! like, i'm SO excited just thinking about it!!! I would be living with 3 of my best friends from school: Caitlyn, April and Mandy. SO fun!!!
Sarah Evans came back!!! That's so exciting!! even though i dont know her TOO TOO well, and we dont hang out TOO TOO often, i think she's TOO TOO cool. and i hope we hang out more now that she's back home.
Speaking of home, so many people are away. Many people at camp. i wish i was at camp. i wish people were home. i miss everyone. but they'll be home soon enough, and all i can do is pray that the Lord will protect them and work through them!
Gary Jules sings a song called "mad world" and it's really good. everyone should listen to it. now.
i suppose i could have more to say, but i dont feel like staying any longer on this computer. oh, speaking of computers, mine was broken for a while, so if you think i was ignoring you or blocking you, i wasn't. it was my comptuer getting fixed. love you all! e-mail me!!
xoxoxo,
