Think you know love?

So you know when you were in say, middle school or junior high and you would have the hugest crush on the kid in your band class? Ok, so maybe I was a band geek at one point... anyway, band class, math class, recess, who knows. But they were all you could think about at some points. Who cares about homework. You want to pass notes with your BFF or write in your slam book and giggle about Friday night's school dance or how he made a fool of himself in class just cause he knew it would make you laugh. Adorable, honest, innocent kiddy love and bubbly feelings. You just have to tell someone about it. Some people say it's when you get these feelings that you really know you're in love.

Where exactly am I going with this? Well, once again, I am sitting here trying to study but I can't get my mind wrapped around entropy and thermodynamics at the moment. I'm completely sidetracked by this awesome guy who keeps tapping me on the shoulder and flashing this handsome and loving smile. I know what you're thinking. "Since when did Lauren meet someone and why in the world has she not told me?!" Well here is where some of you will completely understand me and some of you will think I've gone off the deep end.

I haven't met a guy. It's the same guy that I've mentioned many times before and it's not just any guy. I've just been rediscovering God's honest and amazing love for me lately. For all of us. It's so crazy how much He just wants to sit with us and talk to us, His children. He's just sitting there waiting. I mean, it's enough that I'm just filled with giggly, happy feelings because I know someone loves me. Someone that will never leave me, never hurt me, is always there for me no matter the time of day. Many relationships come and go in a lifetime. Boyfriend A, B, and C may not have been right for you. They may have hurt you in more ways than one. Used up your time and efforts, your feelings. But God is there putting in time, efforts, and feelings. More than we could ever possibly contribute. For example, we sleep, He doesn't. What is He doing? Watching over us. He loves us like a parent, proud of us and making sure we've got everything we need, keeping us safe. He loves us like a friend, with a shoulder to cry on and a hand to lift us back up to our feet. He loves us a with a never ending passion to spend every minute together. I don't know of anyone else that loves me that much and it just amazes me.

Anyway, it's such a feeling that I can't describe and I had to try and tell someone about it.

oh and I thought this was really cool....
