Today was a fairytale...

"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love". - Mother Teresa

Last night I was up till about 2am talking with an amazing couple that live in the apartment here on campus, he is from Nigeria and she is Norway. There perspective on relationship, love and marriage was refreshing and real. Right now I am in a time of growing, I am discovering who I am, and what I believe about different issues. Often times people give me the answer that if I have peace about it then that`s God, but what is peace. My Nigerian friend said to me, a thief has peace before he steals, does that mean it was from God.

I have been asking many couples what they think about relationships and whether this peace thing is real. And there are some that this was true for them they had a peace, but for others it was not the case. Other couples found that they had to make a decision and trust that God would walk through them. I have had so many fears and am often wanting to know the future especially in relationships but I all to often come to think I need to know what God has in store for me before it happens but sometimes we just have to be faithful to God, to love Him above all else. I know that no matter what I want God's will above anything else, my heart is seeking Him. And He tells us faith is hope and assurance in the things we cant see (Hebrews 11).

So how do you break past the fear and the pain, how do you deal with the uncertainty of the world we live in and get to the certainty of God, how do you get to the place you want to be?

Trust... what that looks like I'm not sure... but I want to find out...
