Morning Coffee

        Yesterday was so incredibly powerful for me because, yesterday, I believe God allowed me to experience and understand something that I was never able to completely comprehend before.  I cried.  Yesterday, I cried and not because of something that had anything whatsoever to do with myself.  As I was talking to Curtis on the phone yesterday, and he was explaining to me how upset he was with how things had been going for him at work, I cried for the sole reason that he was hurting.  His emotions directly affected mine, which in turn, made me realize a lot of what it means to love someone.  Never have I experienced such an overwhelming feeling of hurt and sadness due to a linkage to someone else’s emotions. 

        I honestly believe that God was trying to tell me something yesterday, and I also believe that it was just what I needed.  What awesome timing and how amazing is He for continuing to show his presense in our relationship. 

“Love, love me do

You know I love you

I’ll always be true

So, please love me do”

Excerpt from: Love Me Do by The Beatles

These times are troubled and these times are good
And they’re always gonna be, they rise and they fall
We take ‘em all the way that we should
Together you and me forsaking them all
Deep in the night and by the light of day
It always looks the same, true love always does
And here by your side, or a million miles away
Nothin’s ever gonna change the way that I feel,
The way it is, is the way that it was

When I said I do, I meant that I will ’til the end of all time
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That’s what I had in mind when I said I do

Well this old world keeps changin’, and the world stays the same
For all who came before, and it goes hand and hand
Only you and I can undo all that we became
That makes us so much more, than a woman and a man
And after everything that comes and goes around
Has only passed us by, here alone in our dreams
I know there’s a lonely heart in every lost and found
But forever you and I will be the ones
Who found out what forever means

When I said I do, I meant that I will ’til the end of all time
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
That’s what I had in mind when I said I do

Truer than true, you know that I’ll always be there for you
That’s what I had in mind, that’s what I had in mind,
When I said I do

When I Said I Do: by Clint Black
