The Opposite of Loneliness Part II

I've been having experiences with a friend which I would describe as the opposite of loneliness. When I've had conversations with God about what types of relational experiences I'd like to have, I tell him that I don't want them to be for nothing. No more fruitless experiences. I tell him that I would like these experiences to lead to something permanent, lasting and meaningful. I don't know where this particular experience will lead, but I have to trust in the fact that God knows I'm tired of coming up empty and being left high and dry. So as I try to guard my heart and manage expectations, I suppose I have to be open to the fact that this may just be a blessing for me to enjoy right now, but I figure I might as well make a list of other experiences that I'd like to see fulfilled. Who knows what might happen...faith is a crazy thing!


  1. Exchange funny and deep text messages.
  2. Have a deep, nourishing friendship.
  3. Have a never-ending night- dinner, movie, and a long, long talk over ice cream on a park bench somewhere.
  4. Sit on a couch somewhere and talk about our future together.
  5. Go on a hike together.
  6. Serve in ministry together.
  7. Be my date to a wedding.
  8. Hold me in a close, tight, long embrace.
  9. Make dinner and watch a favorite TV show together.
  10. Stare at me when he thinks I'm not looking.
I'll leave it at an even 10 for now and commit these deep-heart desires to God.
