Some stuff I wrote this summer...

I have experienced defeat and then victory in so many ways this semester so far.

in writing down some of my feelings [those that prompted me to start this whole thing], they became more intense and accurate a summary of these last few months than I realized
so yea, here's what's been going on:

adoration is not so easily accepted
love is not so easily come by
feelings are never so easily withdrawn from
forgiveness is not so easily, willfully giv'n
brokeness is not so easily escaped from

healing is not so easily evaded
joy is not so easily hidden from
love has never before been so easily fulfilled by its truest form


I have truly experienced so much healing as well as brokenness over the past few months...so keep in mind that all that I speak of is of the past, but nevertheless has been a part of my life:

don't tell me
that I don't know what love is
that I have no idea...

because

it was you and me happy
you and me just 'being'
you and me laughing
you and me.
happy, 'being', and laughing
...so much that it was freeing

Do I think that it is destructive to recall these writings from my past? No. I have been able to get past these feelings and move on, and thank God for that. Anyone else ever wonder how Paul did it? Learning to be content no matter what situation he was in.

Yet my good friend Jen said the other day, "Yeah...But Seth, Paul had never experienced the joy of having a significant other in his life."
I don't know the accuracy of that...but it's a good point if it is, true, ey?

My family is about to all arrive and then its time for turkey! Talk to you later? yes
