Soul Revolution

Saturday, August 29, 2009

I'm reading this book called Soul Revolution by John Burke. Well I have been reading it for like a year now. ha But I never got all the way through the first chapter because this book calls for honesty...and willingness to change or question I guess. And well until Now I haven't been willing to do that. Or considered...or wanted to...or I guess I didn't even know where to Start. But anyways this book is so good to me right now. I thought this book sucked until last night. Ha. It raises this question though. And well ask it to yourself. I don't know what it exactly looks like to you.

"What if life's deepest longing, sewn into the fabric of our souls, is to express and experience the love of the greatest, most beautiful, knowledgeable, caring being in the universe? To do life with the one who loves you more than any other?"- J. Burke.

I just want to write about so many thoughts right now...But time will not allow it.

Here is one thought though. My parents...
Their 20th wedding anniversary is coming up and I have never seen Love between them like I have these say past 3 months. I have actually never really seen Love between them. But This summer I saw them Love each other more everyday. They put up with a lot of crap between each other. But they are both growing in Christ, and with each other. I mean I have been blind to Love...well a lot. So maybe I just didn't see it before. I mean my Mom sticking with my Dad for all this time has been Love...and my Dad sticking with my Mom during other times...well that is Love too. But I really am happy for them, and So grateful that God has given me a picture of what Love is between my parents. He has blessed me with seeing Love between other great people...My grandparents being one...and well other peoples parents like Meghans, Dinks and then of course with SuAnne and Dave, and Julie and D. So it's not like I haven't ever seen Love between two people like that. It's just more personal now.
And even when it comes to me. This summer people loved me. Not like a cocky way...but like people showed me Love...and I got to experience that. And I also had people who well suck at showing Love...or are clueless as to what my Love languages are. So that's like effed up. But I well it's Love!
