Valentines Day

Its been a while since Ive blogged but let me just clarify; I actually have a life (school, work, social life, school, school, boyfriend and more school. Though I have been extra ordinarily busy, I still have so many great blog topics that I would love to get in to. However, this time around I want to talk about "Valentines Day".

Last Sabbath at church, my best friend Alexsis did an ice breaker for youth church that was great... it included love within a bible verse. The bible verse read like this

"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." -1 Corinthians 13:4-7

The point of the ice breaker was to have someone out of 4 groups to memorize the bible verse and recite as much as they remember within 5 minutes. Needless to say it was a great idea considering the fact that within the following two days it was Valentines day. =)

My valentines day was full of greatness! My boyfriend went all the way out for my giftS and I was totally grateful (by the way yes, I got him gifts too). Anyways, the day reminded me of every day I spend with my boyfriend... he always manages to show me how much he loves me and it reminded me that the holiday isn't and shouldn't be the only day we ladies or men dress up for each other and buy each other cards of gifts... it should be regularly....

I must admit, I am guilty of using the word 'love' in vain. I never knew the true meaning of love until I met my current boyfriend. He has taught me patience, true happiness, gentleness, guidance and love. I never knew how much a human could actually show love... I didn't know love had the potential to grow.. My boyfriend and I have been through many trials but we've overcome them and I'm so happy now.. because those endeavours have made us stronger. (p.s. I love him... if you haven't already gathered that)

Hopefully your Valentines Day was great and I hope it stood for real Love.
Crushes are cute too hehe =]
