thoughts in progress

thinking a couple of things in the last few days....still working it out....

i think i had this world's view of what being ONE means...summed up in that Tom Cruise line to whats her name....'you complete me.' Where you and your man become in sync with each other and know each other so well that when one is weak the other is strong...you're so discerning of each other that you know what the other person is thinking.

You're so in love with each other that when you're away from each other it feels like part of you is missing. You kind of walk around not really there and all your conversations seem meaningless because he's not there to share life with..

Now I'm starting to think God's idea is more like - you expect less but give more. So you expect less for yourself and give more to the other person. You expect less from that other person and give more to them.

I think the LORD is turning my idea of being ONE upside down....

2nd thought...from Joel Osteen. I missed the sermon but caught the line. He said whatever pain you've been through or are going through...to survive it you need to dream a bigger dream than this pain. It will help keep you focused on the dream so you can cope with the pain.

Made me think what is my big dream? What is OUR (myles and moi) big dream? What do we want to achieve specifically before we die? It has to be something so big that we're PASSIONATE about achieving it and won't let anything Satan throws at us stop us from PRESSING FORWARD. It has to be specific so you don't procrastinate over it and waffle through life having no clear idea of how to acheive it.

As I am about to have a baby, I wonder about God's timing that he should put these thoughts on my plate right now.
