In the desert is where I learn best, the hard way

My First Sh*t of 2011

I don’t say sh*t easily. But I do say it not only as a reaction to something negative or when I’m angry but more often to something so positive that I run out of good and acceptable words to express my great delight and excitement.

I don’t think I’ve said sh*t this 2011, not until today or up until an hour ago.

I said it so many times in the past 60 minutes and so loudly in my head because I couldn’t say it out loud at home. I myself am surprised about it and quite anxious as well if the reaction is even appropriate or should I even apologize for it.

It was like seeing a bride so overwhelmed with all the emotions that when she finally reached the altar and met her groom and will now be taking her vows, instead of saying I do, she said sh*t. Ooopsie.

I really hope that won’t happen to me.

I’ll save my judgments for myself later but for now, I just want to remember this moment coz I’m as shocked as any friend of mine to hear that I’ve said sh*t so many times at something such as this.

Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come with me.
See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.
Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
The fig tree forms its early fruit, the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.

(Song of Songs 2: 10-13)

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*******eeeeeeeekkkkkkkkssssssss!!!
Too GOOD to be TRUE.
Crazy!

This was not the first time that I’ve read Song of Songs. It is one of my most read books in the Bible though I’m more of a sucker for Isaiah and Jeremiah. And I know for sure I’ve read more heart-piercing and super sweet verses from those two books than from the Song of Songs.

My first Bible was a King James version and I had it when I was 14. It was just there sitting at home, collecting dust. But it was pink so hehe! Now almost 12 years later, I’ve read it probably a couple of times from Genesis to Revelation, enduring Numbers and Leviticus of course, but only now, ah, only now!

I believe that’s why it’s the best book ever or book of books ever! You can never say I know that already even if you’ve read it a thousand times from cover to cover. It is more than just a compilation of books, it is a great great story made by the GREATEST STORYTELLER from the ANCIENT OF DAYS. And more than just a story, it is also an intimate letter, a great communication tool that links us to the LARGER THAN LIFE that we belong to from the past until the future reveals itself. That is why it has deep revelations in it even in those same old verses that you have even already memorized because you’ve read them so many times.

I guess a million thank you’s would have been more appropriate, or hallelujah even. I know that my sh*t reaction probably stained the moment of beauty that we had right there but I’m so glad that You see through my heart and understand beyond what my words can only strive to say.

Shikes Dada. Words really do not suffice. :)
