Crazy Day!

OK, yesterday I came under some major spiritual attack! Yuck, and to say the least I handled it pretty crappy, but that is training ground isn't it. God is so good anyway, the ironic thing was that during a time of prayer and frustration, I was crying, and yelling at God about Matt, and I had just asked God for some sort of confirmation that I was not alone, and who happens to walk in the door? You guessed it, Matt!! So I spent the day sleeping, puking, and crying out to God. Here is one interesting tidbit that God taught me:

God uses 3s alot, There is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. One yet separate. In a marriage, there is 3 also, Husband, Wife, and God. One yet separate. Well I was thinking about relationships, and marriage and God revealed another 3 to me, and was talking to me about the importance of balance in this three also. We as people also have a body, soul, and spirit. One being yet separate. We strive to keep these in balance also, each one affects the other, if one is off, the others start to show signs also. I have many different relationships of love with those around me. But the love relationship of a potential spouse can be very complicated for singles. And I have heard things like "I am so physically attracted to you" and "I love you like a sister", and "We are best friends" amongst people of the opposite sex. But God was showing that to be truly balanced in a love relationship with a spouse or a potential spouse we need to be 3 also, sister, best friend, and lover. These three cover the three parts of the human makeup. All 3 are VERY important, they need to co-exist. The best friend is the soul, or emotions. This is the person we go to when we are having a good day, or a bad day, this is the person we tell about how we feel, whether it is something really deep, or about what you ate for lunch. This is the person that you want to spend time with, whether you are talking or not. Spiritually you should be brothers and sisters in Christ. You look out for each other like blood, even though you might fight, you are loyal because of the connection. You desire to teach and grow each other, you want to share God experiences with each other. Spiritually you are family, and everything that family entails. And then there is the physical, yes as potential spouses, the physical is very important. It is to be neither the most important thing, forgetting all else, but it is also not to be looked at as not important. Our physical body's are temples of God, this signifies the importance of our physical being, and God wants us to be physically healthy with our spouse, so don't disregard the physical, or put too much emphasis on it. The key is balance. All three are to be in balance, and if you are in a relationship, and one or two of these are a little lacking, I suggest you seek God and look for the balance, it really enhances all of it!!!

I Love you
