"Baby, Let's Plan On Forever"

There are those times

when you talk with God

and it's so gut-wrenching and real.

It's honest.  It's open.

It's a longing to be

who He wants you to be

and to please Him 

the way He desires.

You know you fall so very short.

And as you pour out your heart,

you remember certain verses

like this one:

"Love The Lord your God

with all your heart, soul, mind

and strength."

You say to God,

"God, I see that you want me

to love you, and you alone

with ALL my heart.  

ALL is 100%.  

I want to love you like that -

not divided, having no other gods

or passions in my heart 

for something or someone else..."

The times connecting with God

are truly very personal

and the connection is truly unique

between you and Him.

Soon after, I picked up my bible

to read Romans and linger

on the words I was reading.

And I realized lyrics were playing

in my mind over and over.

These were a line from a song

from one of my favorite movies -

"The Wedding Planner".

The only part I can really remember is,

"Baby, let's plan on forever..."

And I finally realize the words 

playing in my mind.

God was speaking to me

with those words.

"Baby, let's plan on forever.."

And my heart got excited.

I can plan on forever with my

most precious God.

As the tears fell to know 

He wanted to convey this to me,

I said to Him,

"Yes, I do so want to enjoy forever

with you."

I am His daughter.

I forget that sometimes when life

is so very tough

and things don't work out

the way you plan

and you feel you aren't as far along

as you should be

in the eye's of man.

There are teens to raise 

and marriage to maintain

and pressures of this and that.

Baby, let's.

Let's plan on forever

precious God.

You and me.

Me and you.
