I Am That Foolish

I am that foolish that I will keep loving you after you’ve stopped loving me.

I am that foolish that even if you unfriend me – whether on social media or in real-life – I will still keep loving you. I will still keep being your friend. I will still keep praying for you.

I am that foolish that when I love you, I will forget most of the horrible things you’ve said or done.

I am that foolish that I will reach out not once, not twice, not three times, but for as long as my hope remains.

I am that foolish that I truly believe that love conquers all.

I am that foolish that I see and believe in your potential, and often ignore your reality.

I am that foolish that I believe in your dreams and will help you fulfill them, even if you don’t believe in me and mine.

I am that foolish that I love without reserve.

I am that foolish that even when I have recognized that you don’t have my best interest at heart, if you’re hurting, I will try to help you.

I am that foolish that I will never stop believing in love.

I am that foolish.

Constantly Thinking...

End Note: I am proud to be that foolish because you know who else is that foolish? Jesus.

Beware: The Hungry Heart

As a heart-led person, I realize that I need to always be aware of the fullness level of my heart and make sure it doesn’t get too depleted. I have learned that when it does, I can make really bad heart-led decisions.

Of course, as a believer, I also need to make sure my spirit stays connected, full and healthy. When both my spirit and heart are filled, I find that it is much easier for me to follow the spirit, as I should.

I’ve learned, however, that when my heart is at too much of a deficit, it will over-rule my spirit to find fullness (in all the wrong places).

Here, then, are the things that fill my heart…

• Spending time together
• Enjoying conversation
• Having someone lovingly play with my hair
• Holding hands
• Cuddling; tender touches
• Thoughtfulness
• Verbally being valued or appreciated; words of affirmation
• Being listened to
• Kissing
• Laughing together
• Playing games together
• Doing jigsaw puzzles together
• Being protected
• Being remembered
• Phone calls, texts and emails – just because
• Listening to music together
• Watching movies and TV together
• Overhearing someone speak of me with sweetness, love or admiration
• Knowing that someone believes in me

Yes, as you can probably tell... I am an absolute romantic, who loves love.

So, what fills your heart?

Constantly thinking…
