AVALANCHE LOVE

"People who flit from relationship to relationship as their infatuations lead them aren't really happy; they're desperate---and they'll never find what they're looking for as they allow their desperation to bury potential life partners. There is no perfect "soul mate", either for them or for us. There will only be sinner after sinner after sinner. But when you learn to accept and love one particular sinner over several decades, you can slowly build an alliance and intimacy that nothing else can match.

Love doesnt have to slow fade away like a snowman on a warm day. It can grow like an avalanche in power and force, picking up strength along the way.

Sometimes it's a good thing to stay at a thing...and work things out..no matter how hard along the way." ~ Gary Thomas

Sometimes love stinks after the "ooey-gooey" fades away....and sometimes relationships take more work than others. "Love doesnt have to slow fade away like a snowman on a warm day. It can grow like an avalanche in power and force, picking up strength along the way." Love is war....it's a daily battle of dying to selfishness and choosing your person over yourself. And that's hard....some days that's really, really, really hard. I'm not gonna lie. But when it's all said and done....I want it to be said that yes.....I made 10 gazillion mistakes along the way. There were days I wanted to run very far way and I was a messed up mess. But there was grace for every moment. And there were clean slates every day. We fought the good fight. We loved and we forgave. We pushed thru the deserts and the dark valleys. And baby....in the end...we stood up on that high mountaintop and said: I was an avalanche lover!!!! Not a wimpy snowman melter!!
