"Love Through

God's Direction"

Chapter two

"

Love," defined by Robert Frost

"Love: The irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."

Would I ever define love? Or could I even define love? I felt I had. I knew I loved my parents unconditionally. Was that the love I was searching for? Yes, in a way it was. So why then was I still feeling like I couldn't define love?

To me I feel the only way two people can feel that they are truly meant for each other, is by looking at that person and believing that you could never chosen a better mate with out God's direction.

******************

I'm not one to really agree with the saying, "love at first sight." I've heard people say that, but was that true love, or just a fixation?

The first time seeing "him" I thought he was cute. Tall, dark hair, deep brown eyes, and a soft gentle voice. The one problem was, that I was surrounded by beautiful girls, who always went after the new guys. I had a few strategies though. In the past, even if I didn't get the new guy I usually became the one that they knew they could trust, tell things too, or get advice from which was my favorite.

Honestly, I didn't care if I got the guy or not. I knew God had someone out there for me and eventually I would find him. Yeah, I had opportunities to date. I had a few times and none worked out. I had made a pact over the summer the next guy that I would date, would have too date me seriously. Not just for the purpose of telling others he had a girlfriend, but more importantly tell others, "This is the one." Of course this would entail dating, but if only I too felt this way. Yeah, it's sort of dangerous, but something about it just felt good. I knew that whatever the outcome, God was in control.

"Many water cannot quench love,

nor will rivers overflow it..."

Song of Solomon 8:7

***********************

My heart raced. I knew any minute the doorbell would ring and my life might change forever. As I walked down the hallway, the doorbell ring was in my ears, and I paused only for a moment before I rounded the corner where I would meet eye to eye with him. I took a deep breath and for the first time a whisper in my mind said, "This could be your last minutes as a single person. Huh, me? I'm still in high school. Yeah I wish." When I rounded the corner and saw him standing at the door my face lit up and once again my mind whispered, " This could be your last minutes as a single person."
