valentines post script

*sigh* Yet another Valentine's has passed. However, I am no longer left with this feeling of emptiness. Like many other singles, I spent Febuary 14th watching various couples do their sweet things like a dozen pink roses of which my suitemate recieved, a poem written and said to a class while the author that wrote it waited in the back of the room to present his sweetheart with a rose, and the all popular "Crush" soda being delivered around campus to reveal your true feelings through orange carbination. As my night came to a close something was telling me that God wanted to talk. I mean really talk. Not just read your devotions, write a quick prayer in the journal and turn out the light. But a real conversation. Have you ever just looked at the moon? I sat on my bed just staring at it last night. I was quiet and listened to God. Such a feeling of peace and content just washed over me. Refusing to let that feeling of wonderfulness leave me I stayed up a little later last night for fear that when I woke up this morning that feeling would be gone. Maybe it is the fact that I skipped my 7:50 and got to sleep in and maybe it's because when I walked outside the sun was shinning and I was wearing flip flops that the feeling was still there. But no, it's God. He doesn't just give you a feeling like I had last night and then let it slip away with your dreams. If it truly from God that feeling will stay in your heart. It adds a little bit of a skip in my step and a smile on my face. When you truly seek God, he'll grant you exactly what you need. But only what you need. Nothing more. His grace is sufficent or me.
