Rediscovering Eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

Just let the words flow...
So much to say, yet nothing at all. Some days see me prancing around laughing, others see me in a corner, mute. At times the bustle of daily life renders me frustrated, there are times i contemplate flying off to paradise like the gardens of New Zealand, and leave all else behind. Perhaps emotions go into hibernation when days are filled, yet i thank God for this day where there was time to rest, and ponder. This couple really intrigues me. Reading their blogs bout their marriage makes me long for what they have. A partner who is truly your best friend, someone you can do silly things with and who understands you in a way noone else can (cept for God, tt is). Someone who brings you more laughter than tears, someone who makes you a better person.
"I love you not just for who you are, but who i am when i am with you."
I want to have tt kind of love, too. Not a relationship fraught with quarrels and tears tt i witness and experience so often in this world, not a relationship tt does you more harm than good. I want a guy who will lead me, not just to him but to the One above. Someone who will be there for me without robbing me of my independence. Someone i admire and respect, someone who shares my lifesong, who knows how to make me laugh, and how to cry with me.
It's been years of opening and closing the door. I don't know what lies ahead but i will trust God, because His plans are to prosper and not to harm me, His plans are to give me a hope and a future. Your will be done Lord, and not mine.
Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head, Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.
Love never dies.-1 Cor 13:7 (The Message)
