Mr. Big...
Ok. Here's the thing. I went to see the Sex and the City Movie again last night. That makes twice. I know, I know. Good Christian girls are not supposed to go see Sex and the City. But in my defense, I started watching the show only after it was moved to basic cable and was drastically edited for non-HBO watchers.
What has always impacted me is the friendships. For most people who have never seen it, they think is just a nasty sex show. It's not. Well, not the way I've watched it. It is about friends. Best friends doing life together. I love that. I relate to these women...these single women trying to figure out life in a married world. Things that they talk about make sense to me.
There is an episode of the show where Carrie is turning 35 and is questioning whether or not there is such a thing as a soul-mate. She desperately wants to be in love and to find her happily ever after, but it always seems to elude her. And then, just when she can't take the lonliness a second longer, sweet Charlotte says the words. "Maybe we could be each other's soul-mates."
I've thought alot about that...about soul-mates. As much as I would like to say that my soul is at peace on it's own...it's just not true. And as much as I would like to say that my friends are my soul-mates the way that Charlotte, Carrie, Miranda and Samantha are...it's not true either.
Carrie is looking for love. In her words she is looking for "ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't live without each other" love. But she's looking in the wrong place. So am I at times.
There is only One true love. There is only One "ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't live without Him" in my life. He is the only One who can fill the void. He is the only One who will complete me. He is the only One who can ever truly be my soul-mate. He's my Friend, my Savior, the Lover of my soul.
So Carrie, you can keep your Mr. Big. Mine's bigger.

now that's just down right good posting kark. you have no fear about being real on these silly blogs and i hope someday i can write with complete honesty and openess like you, my friend.
i think regardless of our marital status, we all struggle with remembering that Jesus is the best "Mr. Big" we'll ever have. When you find that "soul mate" or whatever you want to call it, he can end up "stealing the show" from the real Mr. Big if we let him. We think that these men can fill our hearts and make us feel whole, when in fact, they can't. They are a blessing, but I hope you will look for a "best friend" to spend the rest of your life with. Find the one that brings out the best in you - your "perfect compliment" - and don't worry necessarily about finding that "perfect soul mate", cause you've already found HIM.
You've definitely got it "goin on" and any guy would be blessed to have you as his wife. Don't settle for less than God's best for you. He's been waiting 30-some odd years to reveal this amazing gift to you. Wait for that "Hallelujah Chorus"!! It will definitely be worth it! Love you chica!
Awesome, awesome writing, Klo!! So true, isn't it?? He is Mr. Bigger than Big and I love every second dwelling in His love and grace :) Keep on walking in Him, and He'll send someone right alongside you when you're least searching. ♥
When you gonna write a book?

You should definitely right a book. Or become a tv writer. I'd watch. Just don't go on strike!
Seriously...when are you going to update this dang thing? Seriously? I update mine WAY more often than you do. I am tired of reading the same old stuff. It has been a month. I officially protest.
Hee Hee.
waiting for an awesome new post by klo
