Infatuation vs. Love

I just love quotes..so here's a new one.

"Infatuation is when you think he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as Jimmy Connors. Love is when you realize that he's as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Connors, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger, and nothing like Robert Redford-but you'll take him anyway." - Judith Viorst

Recently, a friend and I were talking about how blind infatuation can be toxic to relationships. Infatuation is always confused for Love. It's sad how blinded our generation is. So many of us feel like we're dating 'our dream' then wake up married and trapped with a 'stranger'. Have you ever heard from a dying relationship...he or she changed? I've heard that alot and everytime I do I think...they didn't change, you finally opened your eyes. That's why it's so important to surround yourself with amazing friends who tell you the truth. Who challenge you to keep your eyes wide open. So, here's to going into God honoring relationships with open eyes. Just remember, the higher the pedistal, the harder the fall. Let's leave that crazy insane obsessed infatuation for God and Him alone. I have a feeling that would save ALOT of us some major heartbreak...

Unaware..

This is a great quote I came across today and decided to pass it on. Sometimes we just need to slow down, analyze our actions, & realize what's right in front of us.

"If I am unaware of love, I live drably. If I become intoxicated with love, I live in dreamland. If I recognize love and shake his hand, then comfort, dreams, and sometimes intoxication become mine to drench in and give away as well." - Nellie Curtiss

Fix You

Anybody who knows me KNOWS I'm a HUGE Coldplay fan. This is my favorite song of theirs and it WILL be in my wedding someday. :-) He wrote it for his wife when she was watching her father die of cancer. What a perfect way for him to let her know he's there for her. It's so sweet, honest, and touching. I just adore it..I hope you do too.



FIX YOU

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you,

High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
