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!
