now playing: iona – woven cord
maybe it’s because the holidays are right around the corner. maybe its not. all i know is that for some time now, there has been a part of me that hasn’t been fully satisfied.
i know there are times when life… takes turns outside of where we thought we’d be. where we wake up one day, and its just… not. not the way it was supposed to be. and in some respects, its times like those that ask us to stay single. we’ve got too much other stuff to focus on to worry about finding that special someone.
ive been wondering if there is a time when that fades away. and life turns again… and each time we journey into the sea we know so well, our hearts hear a whisper. a call. and our desire to venture into waters we do not know, grows.
it sounds really really cheap to say ‘pj’s on the market’. and honestly, thats not what im saying. but i’d be lying if i said i hadnt been thinking about it.
now, before you starting thinking of people, dont – because i dont even have anyone in mind. just more of a desire.
an awakening desire to surprise someone with flowers. someone to make coffee for. someone to stand next to as 2007 draws to a close.
there is more. i keep hearing that. there is more than the small part of the world i call home. more of the sea than has yet to be seen. there is more to this life. more to be lived. just beyond these shores.

all you have to do is ask peej. just ask. I knew I wasn’t the only one feeling something during our dance. I’m just glad you’re coming to your senses….

I used to feel like you do when I was younger. Back then my mind was occupied with all manner of longings. Then I found the Lord and He took all that away (thanks Lord). You see, lost as I was in those fanciful illusions, I didn’t have the common sense to see that there was more to life than human desires. It took Jesus to “renew” my thinking, and I am thankful everyday that He woke me up. Because a man can waste many a day staring up at the clouds and chasing fanciful notions, but it is only when one chases after the Lord that they find true fulfillment. Amen.

Dude I’ll stand next to you as 2007 comes to a close. Although if you try and kiss me I’ll clobber you! 🙂
I honestly know how hard this all is…I have been having the hardest time myself in this area even though I am where I am. I keep thinking about girls but only because I havent really made that decision. But I know that once I do, I can totally be at peace and I no longer have to think about it!! OMG that sounds so freeing. 🙂 But my resistance to that decision is where I am feeling you because with that desire comes an ache thats unquenchable. I think it will always be unquenchable even when you find that person because you will always ache to become “one” with them more and more. The unity will never be satisfactory because there is always so much more to be obtained. The longing for unity baby! Get used to it PJ. Thats my take anyways… peace brother hope all is well
