Today

It is Friday afternoon--2:13 pm to be exact. My babies are all at school (2 @ MES, 1 @ preschool). My love is on his way to Tel Aviv, Israel. The sky is overcast and the windows reflect the melancholy mood of nature. I am listening to Marie Brennan singing in her sultry, celtic style. Truly, Lord Jesus, I am so blessed. I have been 'studying', 'digging' trying to learn more about the Song of Solomon - Chapter 8, verse 6 to be exact. Melissa posted at the LPM blog on Valentines Day regarding this verse: . . . and love is as strong as death . . . the whole Song is beautiful, but so abstract and so not clear. And, then, tucked away in Chapter 8 are these words "and love is as strong as death". What is that? Faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love - death must be very, very strong. I am thinking out loud that death is not necessarily bad as we tend to view it here. Death is not understood. Death is not easily explained. Death seems like a finality for us. However, we have this beautiful statement in the word of God - which is complete truth - that Love IS AS STRONG AS DEATH. We know God IS Love. We know 'the greatest of these is Love'. We know Love never fails. We know so much about love (1st Cor. 13) and that without Love we have nothing. I am wondering, then, if Death is a reflection of Love--um, perhaps the segway to love realized? I wonder . . . if we knew the other side, if we saw the mirror brightly, death would be perhaps welcomed?

I believe in Love. I am God's beloved. I am so thankful for His grace upon me!

Godspeed Ryan. I love you.
See you soon little girlies:)

Love is as Strong as Death

The Twilight Saga

Okay . . . I can join the living again. Seriously & actually - i have neglected my parental duties, my familial duties (not my wifely duties thankfully) because I have been thoroughly engrossed in these novels. I am in love with Edward & Bella's love story. How beautiful. I am reminded how blessed i am with my own love story! And, i pray God guides each of my girls with a beautiful one of their own.

I have spent the past 6 days sleeping & reading--eating when necessary, conversing when i must and my nose in this story practically non-stop. Oh, i will write more when i get my own books and go back through them. I am just a complete nut for True Love. I am a sucker for movies like The Princess Bride, Phantom of the Opera, Labyrinth, seperate lives, against all odds, an officer & a gentelman--those enduring stories of true love. I am sure they are many more, my mind just keeps thinking of the one i hope to see shortly - Twilight!

Seriously, i am infatuated with this series at the moment. Hope it wears off soon, so i can concentrate on other things - ugh!
