Brett's Discernment

So one more example of how I think our things written in the form of interpersonal human relationships can be interpreted (maybe only by me) in the form of a love song of faith. Example: Life less ordinary, Carbon Leaf
some of the lyrics:

Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me
Live a life less sedentary
Live a life evolutionary with me
Well I hate to be a bother,
But it's you and there's no other, I do believe
You can call me naive but...
I know me very well (at least as far as I can tell)
And I know what I need

The night you came into my life
Well it took the bones of me, took the bones of me
You blew away my storm and strife
And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me
By the way, I do know why you stayed away...
I will keep tongue-tied next time

. . .
especially the parts that are in bold. I feel like we could sing this song in church. but it's just me. and not all of it fits.

In love relationships, people often say - "how do you 'know' that that one person is 'the one' or that it is really 'love.' " I think the same questions fall in line for faith - people who haven't made that step struggle with this - but for me the answer is - you just "know" - it is indescribeable, it is consuming. And yes, I'm a romantic. I do believe in true love relationships, and fidelity, and that marriages can really work. Sigh.

I also have been caught by these lyrics lately: So this is me, I'll be no one else. (Hurricane Song, VACO)

I wrote a whole long blog entry earlier tonight about a totally different topic (seminary and W&M) and wasn't able to post it. Summary: I loved william and mary. I will love seminary. I don't know where to go. No clue. The only one I've possibly ruled out is Pacific. we'll see.
