So I am now officially back at school in the wonderful state of Mississippi after much unloading, unpacking and catching up with my incredible friends. :) It is so wonderful to be back and yet weird also after being gone for almost a month. For all of you South GA readers it is a chilly 28 degrees today with a low of 10 degrees...chances of flurries are rumored. :) be jealous. actually I am freezing my little tail off here it is so cold.
So on my way back to Starkville, during those 6 lovely hours alone in my car, I began to think about the meaning of a new song i was listening to by John Mayer (whom I will be seeing in concert February 9th in Birmingham) The name of the Song is Friends, Lovers, or Nothing. The chorus goes as follows...
Friends, Lovers, or Nothing. There can only be one. Friends, Lovers, or Nothing, there'll never be an in between so give it up.
Wow. How true is this? If we really evaluate every relationship in our lives each one should fall into one of these 3 categories. Either you are friends, or "lovers" or have no relationship at all. Often times i think as young adults we justify the relationships in our lives that in reality should fall into the "Lovers" category and say...Oh we are just friends. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT.
However, I think this is one of the main reason we are told in scripture to guard our hearts for it is the wellspring of life. By allowing ourselves to become emotionally attached to a "friend" opens up the gates for heart ache and confusion. Our God is not a God of confusion but clarity and peace of mind. So we must guard our hearts and emotions and truly evaluate each relationship in our lives and make sure that it is adequately defined and that we are not justifying things in our own minds.
Just some food for thought. :)
How to be praying for me personally, I am headed in about 30 minutes to interview for an on campus job so hope that goes well! AND I start a fresh new semester of classes TOMORROW!
Will keep you all updated! GOD BLESS!
