What Do You Know?

The best advice always given to writers is to write what you know.  There are a lot of things I do know.  And a lot of things I don't.

I know that I am Christ's.  I know that I am His bride.  I know that somehow, all things work together for good to those who love God, who are the called according to His purpose.  I know that I have a destiny.  I know the things He's said to me before, whether through Himself or through His word or through other people.  I know that He loves me, unconditionally.  I know that when I turn to Him humbly, He strongly supports me.  I know that Jesus loves me.

I have learned that not everything is as important as I thought it was.  That there are certain things worth fighting for and standing for like God and family, and other things it's best just to drop by the wayside.  I'm learning that friends are more important than I gave them credit for.  They're not fill-ins for a significant other, but rather make up the rest of the richness between your significant others and yourself.  I've learned that a well-ordered home can bring me peace, and that a glass of chardonnay is quite a charmer.  I'm learning the importance of cutting myself some slack.  Dogs always choke if you don't ease up on the collar. 

What I don't know and what I wonder about is this:  When "the" two people meet, is it "Like Mmmagic", ala Sleepless in Seattle, or is it more like finding a long-lost friend you never knew but forgot you had?  Do you look at that someone and think, "Hey, I know you!" ? 

Maybe there's a lot more to friendships and love than I ever imagined.  Imagine a world caught in the friendly fire of a man and woman so equally paired that they captivate the world for Christ.  I do imagine, even though I don't know him.  Yet. 

May I and you live in the expectancy that "the best is yet to come".  That we all go from glory to glory in Christ Jesus.  And that we learn it's ok to love each other on the way.
