“You can suffer without love, but you can’t love without suffering.”
I'm twitchy, I don't know if it is from restlessness because of a lack of sleep, or if I drank something funny, or if my body is just having one of those hay-days.
I'm happy for all my friends to have Valentine's Day; married, dating and otherwise. It means that I get a night off due to their preoccupation and my occupational hazard. I've been busy, on purpose. Towards the end of dinner this evening, I told Matt Spencer that I am doing these things to keep from losing my mind. Everyone is slowly but surely becoming twitterpated and enveloped by one another as the days pass on. And I think, "Thank God for Thursday, because I am so happy for all my friends who are in love, or finding love, or learning to love each other more."
And to be sure, it's not the one day to demonstrate "I love you", because as Christians, that demonstration is to be the norm. Everyone else I know is telling me to hook up with a girl, or find some girl to start dating just because I need to know what I want...and it's noise. Sickening, deafening noise.
God will bring the right one into my life, into the Rock - whether she's not saved yet or lives elsewhere. Until then, I'll keep busy...except for Thursday night, that's my night off.

Oh my goodness. I was thinking the exact same thing, I was like, Valentine's day is the day that I get to catch up on like 9 days worth of bad sleep! Yay for being single and waiting for God's best! I just listened to the Swerver yesterday for my first time, and it was really encouraging. And I heard your laugh in the background. Ha ha. Good one.
Amen Rachel, totally. And my laugh on a Rock recording? Doesn't sound like something I'd do... ;)
I should probably re-listen to that talk since I haven't heard it since the time it was recorded.
