The way I see it...

Let's be real here. Everyone wants to be in love. That is the bottom line. Well, my thought is... if that's what everyone wants, then why are their so many people alone? What a random question. The real question is actually, when is it okay to start wanting to stop being alone? 

Ok... Jess just got real on ya. whoops. 

I'm not saying that I'm crying myself to sleep at night. The truth is, I'm actually very happy with my life as it is right now. I don't day dream of romantic nothings constantly, or even often. But, one does end up thinking about "love" every once in a while... and so I guess today is one of those whiles. 

I just saw the movie "He's just not that in to you"... and I must say... I'm kind of sad. I don't think that movie had any point really. I do agree with one part of it... and just one. That one point being that people should stop chasing after love, and start just loving others, and in return they will receive a much better love (but I don't really think they even meant for me to get that out of the movie.... I might have just been applying a spiritual truth to a worldly movie). Anyway, it was shallow and romantic, and even though I got wrapped up into the romance of it, I'm left feeling pretty low after all. What a waste of $9.50. Not to mention, my junior mints spilled behind my seat after only consuming about 6 of them. whoops. Thanks a lot AMC. 

I guess what I've really been thinking about is... I know Love will find me one day, because I know that as long as I continue to love those around me, instead of focusing on "when, how and who will find me...me...me," I'm confident that a better kind of love will actually happen on its own.  A love that will be generous and not self-seeking. At least that's my hope. 

I don't want to live my life waiting for someone to sweep me off my feet. So... I'm just not going to. I've never been of that mindset, and I'm not going to fall into that now. So there ya go Hollywood. That's what I have to say about your lame attempt at explaining Love. 

"Guard your heart, for it is the well-spring of life."

I pray that I will understand this verse more and more everyday. For real... how does this work? I'm still boggled, but I think I might be getting closer to understanding it. 

The way I see it... the Lord is going to have to take care of it. I'm sure He will do a better job then I could ever attempt to. 

There. 

Now that's off my chest.
