Thank God!

Thank you Lord, that I don't have to deal with "rules".
Sitting in Relational Comm right now, hearing about unrequited love and different communication scripts, all I can think is, "Thank you God, that this does not apply to me!" I thought this earlier too when some of us gals went and saw He's Just Not That Into You. The terms "would-be lover" and "rejector" are so harsh. I love that I don't need to worry about these stupid games that the world plays in order to find love. I can pray about my future husband and know that when it comes time, he will tell me that he's been praying about marrying me for awhile and I can count on something more than a simple feeling of attraction keeping him with me. I love that I can count on my future husband to not be wishy-washy or shallow with his love. And I trust that I too will be so in love and sure of my feelings that "forever" won't seem intimidating.
And butterflies... I'm looking forward to a lifetime of butterflies. I know different people will say different things about butterflies-- that they're there at first but after awhile when you're comfortable with the person, they disappear-- but I don't believe that. For me personally, that is. I think that's probably very true of a lot of couples, but I strongly believe that God will provide for me someone who will give me a lifetime of butterflies, as well as that comfortable, companionate love.
Do I always remember and hold on to these truths? Haha, uhhhhhmm...not so much. But when I do remember, I am so much happier and content.
So thank you relational comm, for being good for something!

My mom and dad are 26yrs into their butterflies and going strong. So far, I'm following in their footsteps. How excited I am for you!
