He's Just Not That Into You

Yeah... I should watch that movie. Since now it actually applies to my life.

adorable moment #3

I was walking out of my french class building and into my next building for arab, and I saw this couple walking together in the middle of "the compass". They got to a certain point, then stopped to say good byes as they went to separate classes. The boyfriend put his hands on the sides of her cheeks, and pulled her in for a kiss. It was so cute. : / You could tell he was infatuated with her. Love like that means more.

adorable moment #2

I saw a dad and daughter today in the row in front of me at Church. It was so cute the way he loved her. She got up to go the bathroom (after asking her mom), and was trying to squeeze past her dad out of the pew... He asked her where she was going, and she told him. Then he gave her a huge hug, and let her pass. Later on, after she had gotten back, she was sitting on his lap, and they were nudging noses, and smiling, and silently laughing together. It was the sweetest thing. Love like that means more.

Love Like This Means More

So I ran the Monument 10k today!...well, actually, I just walked it, but HEY! It was a lot of fun! And I plan on jogging next year's : ) But I have the mud run coming up in June, and the breast cancer one in May... both of which are 5k's, meaning I can actually jog or run it! It was a lot of fun, I really like it, and needless to say, 2 hours of walking does wonders on your body! Haha, I'm gonna be a little vain right now, and say I look grrrrreat! Haha....but annnyyyway...

While Rachel and I spent thirty mins trying to find a parking spot, we saw this older couple wearing matching shirts holding hands (walking to the start of the 10k). Randomly throughout the day, I would see them....always holding hands. We ended up walking behind them for most of the race, including the end of it. They held hands the WHOLE time... that's love. From parking, and walking to the start, and actually walking the race, this couple held hands... that's like three hours of hand holding! It was so cute, and made me smile.

I miss him.

I've Lost the Only Love Worth Fighting For

It's hard when you have loved someone so long, that they become a part of you. And the greater your relationship grows, a greater piece of you they take with them. It's sad when a love like that, a love that seems so real, can be broken by something so worldly...something that I know the devil is behind. It's sad to come to the realization that the person you love has no hope to feel that love again. I can't describe that sadness in knowing. It's a beautiful thing to love, and to be loved. "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love, and be loved in return". Kind of spawning off that, and from what I feel God is leading me to do, is to start this daily project. Every day, I read to myself 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7. It talks about love. Until myself and the person I date or plan to marry can completely embrace and love the way that that verse says, then I am not ready to be in a relationship with them.

I was wondering though... Is this verse what we should strive to love like? Or is this a constant and finite thing, that if we found a love like this, then it's true? I am so curious to know the answer to this question! Is God using this to be a guide for us, or is he telling us, that when we find true love, it will be like this?

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (New International Version)

⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

God is amazing. I see it more and more everyday and it never gets old. He is so romantic, and I love it. No man could ever compare to what God does for me. God gives me flowers, any day I want them. He showers me with good thoughts, good experiences, and time. He gives me every new day. He gives me the sun, and the warmth of that to hug me when I need one. He is so incredible. He loves me, and I am in love with him. No one can ever measure up to my God. I want to love like Corinthians; and I want to do it for him - the one who loves me.

libere!

the three frees!

Somewhere over the Rainbow

This song is taking over my thoughts right now. I kind of like that.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high,

There's a land that I heard of

Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare to dream

Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far

Behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow.

Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why can't I?
