The heart is a strange, beautiful thing. It seems to contradict itself when actually it is the most consistent thing of our being. It’s what gives us joy, pain, life, death, love, hate, passion, and desire. The clue as to who we really are and why we are here comes to us through our hearts desire. It is the wellspring of life. Anything that makes life worth living comes from your heart. It is the deepest, truest you. That thrills me and scares me to death…
Why does God allow your heart to be in two geographical locations and you can’t feel complete in one or the other? How is it supposed to fit together?
Why is it that your heart pulls you in two directions? Or is it just your mind and heart playing tug-a-war? How do you know which is which?
Why does love hurt so much, in a good way? "...Love isn't jealous..." (1Cor. 13:4) Does that mean it isn't really love when jealousy is involved?
Love...it screams at you until you listen...it holds you when your hurt...it hits you upside the head to show you the truth...it endures the pain until there is rest...it never lies...it is tough...it is jubilant...gives you joy more than anything else...makes you weak...makes you strong...makes you fly...makes you fall...is stronger than friendship, but can't survive without it...won't let you quit...it steals...it gives you everything that you need...sifts out the chaff...it cannot be contained or ignored...is more than just a night...always strives for better...never settles for anything but 'great'...looks beyond the present...it can be the death of us...but it is what gives us life...it is consuming...like a fire you can't put out...it is reckless...it is perfect...it is beauty...
I want to know a love like that…I believe without doubt that is what the Lord has for me ...Until then I will wait with an expectancy to receive the highest I possibly can and never settle...and I will enjoy the adventure along the way.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keep no record of wrong. Loves does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails…”
I want to be that…I want to encompass that...I want to HAVE that...
I guess I’ve got something to work on, ‘eh?

Way to go kaylee! I love the way you describe "Love" it's so fitting...don't we all have a long way to go where love is concerned? I am reading "The four Loves" by C.S. Lewis right now and it's amazing how much I have to go back and re-read and think/ponder about!
keep on the journey, we know it's going to be worth it! :)
