that’s ever been mine.
i love this song.
right now, i really want a boyfriend and marriage and babies who turn into children.
and a house, one of those small ones you always hear people tell about, how they raised their kids in a house three rooms too small, and how everyone was packed two or three to a bedroom and the turns in the bathroom made one or all late for school or church.
and how in the midst of it all, dad and mom, husband and wife, lover and beloved, somehow could stop and stare into each other’s eyes, with the flame of love still burning strong.
the barely there smiles that would play across their faces as they leaned in closer. sometimes to kiss. and others, just to be in the presence of the one they adored.
that’s what i want. and i want it so badly. G-d has got to be trying to teach me something. it’s probably to remind me that only in Him can i be truly and completely filled with unfailing, unconditional love. that nothing but Him satisfies. that i cannot begin to grasp the incredible, amazing, boundless love He has for me, some screw up who can’t keep it all together, who waits til the last minute to do things because she can. who fails utterly so often. oh dear Lord, how gracious and loving you are. You are a great G-d. thank you. Shine through me Jesus. Dear G-d, save me from myself.
