One of those rare random late night conversations... Sigh... reminded me of the spontaneous philosophical convos that emerged late nights while in college... (ok... 10pm is late to ME.... @ least now that I'm working full--time, anyway).
Shana: read Matthew 19
when u get a chace
and tell me what u think
its short
me: k
Shana: its bout marriage
me: im bout 2 start reading The Lady, Her Lover, and Her Lord
Shana: whats that about
me: its TD Jakes
ima type the back
Shana: ok
me: "There are some things the lady can receive only from within herself. There are others that are a direct result of her having a warm arm wrapped around her on a cold night. But when human hands fail, there is always the strength of the everlasting arms of God.
Shana: hmmm
sounds interesting
me: "We will explore how every woman can live a balanced life and attain success in each of these significant areas. We will share openly what it takes to maintain her idintity, his attention, and the Lord's favor. Why settle for two sides of a triangle when you can have it all? The lady, her lover, and her Lord--let the three noties in your life sing in harmony. It's the sweetest song you'll ever hear."
Sent at 9:54 PM on Monday
Shana: that sound good
u gone have 2 pass that along
when u done
me: k
yeah it's interesting (Talkin bout Matthew)
i mean ppl say that u shouldnt divorce
except for infidelity
and some say
u should still try to work it out after infidelity
my thing is
respect
if u love me and respect me
and made a horrible mistake
and i still love u
and respect u
then why not try 2 work it out
Shana: right
me: And what ppl miss, I think
me: is that it says WHAT GOD BROUGHT TOGETHER
Shana: i feel like that 2
marriage i think is so much deeper
Shana: u cant just run out of it
me: God is not gon bring 2 ppl who clearly dont trust and respect eachother 2gether
Shana: right
me: but flesh can bring those ppl 2gether
Shana: u brought that on ur self
shoot
me: and some people are so damn dumb
Shana: u kno that ish wasnt right
me: thats how i feel about certain situations "friends" are in
if it dont fit
dont force it
if u miserable fighting all the time
that aint God
if he cussin u
and flingin u in2 walls
and callin u out ur name
that aint God
and in other scenarios
if he belonged 2 sum1 else
and u had to SLEEP WITH SUM1 ELSE'S MAN
to get him,
that ain't God either
Shana: RIGHT
thas what i said
girl
me: but its some dumb stupid hoes out here
Shana: like i be tryin 2 tell my friends
like u got w/ him
c/ u was sleepin w/ him
while he was w/ somebody
that lady from
the family that preys
said it best
she said
u dont get happiness in life by bringing pain to someone else
it aint never gone work
me: right
never never never
Shana: and people
focus too much
on society
and what society tell them what they should do
it says right here (Matt 19: 10-12)
that everybody isnt gonna accept this word
and they asses dont need 2 be
marrying!
me: right!
Shana: shoot
me: right!
totally
Shana: people sellin themselves dreams
but oh well
me: yup
be in church and twist and turn the pastor's words
to fit yo sinful situation
no
it aint right
lol
Shana: lol
right
me: just say God forgive me and keep it moving
gosh
Shana: thinkin u gotta be married
and have somebody
for ur child
and yada yada yada
me: right
Shana: sellin dreams
me: and that's why "hearts harden
like the scripture said
lemme go back 2 it
i read niv
Shana: yeah
it says that
me: * 7.
* "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"
* 8.
* Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning"
* "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"
* 8.
* Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning"
Shana's new status message - its society, get w/ it or get expelled! Thas just the way of the world, right? WRONG! 10:06 PM
me: their hearts were hard
me: cuz it wasn't love in the 1st place
it was lust.
they weren't supposed 2 be 2gether in the 1st place
Shana: or w/e it was
me: that's why their hearts were hardened
Shana: sometimes it dont be lust
it just be stupid
plain stupid
me: lmao
dang
Shana: lol
me: instant status message
Shana: lol
me: yeah
if every1 in the world had as much sense as us
it'd be a better place
Shana: lol

Shana: LOL
LOL
me: like I know "its better 2 marry than 2 burn"
but seriously
u can't control ur hormones that bad
that u gotta run in2 a marriage that God doesn't have for you?
please
Shana: yeah
its not that bad
like i dont think marriage is the answer
me: not the answer
its a goal
for 2 like minded ppl
but the scripture even said
some ppl are supposed 2 not marry
Shana: yeah
and marriage 2 me
is more than
just a piece of a paper
me: ITA
its a partnership
Shana: so people need 2 sit down somewhere
me: me and margaux talk about this all the time
relationships arent the same way
Shana: like u can have a monogamous relationship
and it be way better off
me: its not just some dumb title, so u can say this person belongs 2 u and u 2 them
Shana: then somebody who think they gotta run
Shana: into a marriage
thas just dumb
me: and reality check
me: relationship is still single
