A New Chapter

  So the other week I began a new chapter in my life, one that I have never read before. I began to pursue a relationship with one of my best friends. And you know, I feel like upon entering this relationship I had this image set in my mind about what the perfect relationship would look like.  In it everything worked out perfectly, and everything made sense, and everything was very, very easy. We would always agree on things, and we would always believe the same things. Almost like I was assuming that my relationship would be this like "perfect Hollywood"....thing.


Two thoughts (that I am thinking only as I write this):

• How retarded and immature do I sound to have thought that that is how a relationship between two people would be?  
• Where in the world did those thoughts of thinking that perfection was even attainable even come from? 

Just so you know I have not come to a conclusion on either of these thoughts yet....

 Anyways:
I am finding out, VERY quickly, that relationships in this life normally do not, in fact, especially if you are a human on planet earth, work out to perfection.  Weird right? Cause I thought The Man made it out to be that love and marriage was simple and was something that just happened and required no effort whatsoever. 

I don't know if I am making sense, or if you all are sitting there cursing at me telling me I have no idea what I am saying, buuut.....  I will continue.

This world is broken, and if you haven't' noticed, so are people. It is not easy when you put two broken people together, who are selfish, and prideful, and have a sinful flesh.

I am by no means married, to be honest, we have only been dating a week and a half, but this is my conclusion:

Love is totally of God. In this world of brokenness true love is going to take work. Love is a commitment and takes commitment.








I donno your thoughts?
