#-To Let Them Love Themselves

I can't believe I still get nervous trying to ask ladies out. haha. I thought I wouldn't have that problem anymore, since I'm such a flirt either way. And the ironic thing is that something tells me I'm not even going to be highly interested, but perhaps this it because I still hardly know her well enough to care that much yet. Oh well, she didn't pick up the phone so I'll have to try again later.

On another note, I'm quite upset as well. At first I thought perhaps it was the exams that made you not reply me, being all busy and all, but now that they're over, you continue this pattern. You were the one who said it takes 2 hands to clap. If you don't want to hear from me, then just say it, tell me straight so I won't have to spend energy and waste it on someone who doesn't appreciate the effort...

*At this point I'm switching between my email and blog, and I read this line on my email:

"To learn that they[people] cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved."

And again it demonstrates such perfect timing. The line is taken from "Interview With God", when God, in response to the question,"As a parent, what are some of life's lessons You want Your children to learn?" throws out the line above. How apt. Just when I complain about loving someone, He sends this message to let me know that I have been charged with this task, that He has allowed me to love you, and therefore, it really is up to you to let yourself be loved.

I'm tired.
I need to be refreshed in the Lord,
To be rejuvenated by His Love.
The giving wears me down,
Eats me slowly.
I'm corroding myself ain't I?
That's why even Jesus needed time out,
Time alone to be with the Father.
That's what I need.
