I haven't been around in a long time. Had to free up space on my phone, so Tumblr had to go. I've had a lot of work, ontop of mommying at home and life stuff. I'm grateful, but a lot of things have been on hiatus.

That said, I finally have more memory and was able to download Tumblr again. I'm staying up later than I should (again). Hubby is passed out next to me. I just finished my Bible Study and I am wishing my therapist were able to talk.

I just don't understand human sexuality. How it is a way to connect emotionally. Even though I see EVIDENCE of it creating a mental and emotional connection, I still don't understand. I think it's sort of sad how I can see the allegorical side of Song of Solomon and how our marriages reflect Christ's perfect sacrifice...yet I can't understand the actual physical, human desire part. Maybe I never will understand.

It's like in my mind, they're two separate entities. There's sexual intimacy, and there's emotional intimacy. There's marriage with comfort and connection and all that, and then there's the other part that still feels like the odd one out.

I am curious to see what the others say about this book of the Bible and how they view it. And I will be waiting for my next therapy appointment...

I ask God to remove all bitterness and envy from within me. I ask God to allow my happiness for people to be pure and genuine. I ask God to cleanse me from all feelings that are in even the slightest tainted with pride and jealousy because it is these feelings that make the heart rotten and a rotten heart is too heavy for me to carry. Dear God, purify me.

“You ask ‘for what’ God wants you. Isn’t the primary answer that He wants you. We’re not told that the lost sheep was sought for anything except itself.”
