When I Fall In Love / Unforgettable

After attending a fundraiser for a high school speech team earlier this evening, I decided to hang out at the mall and do some window shopping. It was nice. I had the opportunity for some "me time." It was also wonderful because I did plenty of looking and I even tried on a pair of jeans, yet I did not spend any money. It felt so good to go into a store and not spend money when it is not necessary. Whew! What a nice feeling.

I also ran into one of my room mates from sophomore year of college. I was almost in tears, once I returned to my car, after seeing her with her new husband b/c it was such a joy to see her so happy and glowing with God's lights and goodness. I can only pray to shine with God's light half as much as my dear friend was when I saw her tonight.

But what I really want to talk about is once I started my car and began on my way home two songs played on the Cd player in my car: When I Fall In Love and Unforgettable by Nat King Cole. They both got me to thinking. But first you should know I have this habit, when I listen to songs I tend to interpret them in a spiritual way. For example: The song According To You by Orianthi, when in the lyrics say "according to him I'm beautiful, incredible, he can't get me out of his head, according to him I'm funny, irresistible, everything he ever wanted," I think of the him being referred to is God. God thinks I am beautiful, incredible, etc.

Anyway- as I was listening to these songs my heart was kind of saddened, while at the same time filled with a kind of joy. When I listened to When I Fall In Love, I couldn't help but think of falling in love with God in such a way as to commit and submit to him completely and forever. Fact is, I am human and time after time I fall short [of God's glory]. Yet, God loves me so much that he continuously give me grace. I was just so saddened that as much I desire God and to follow in Christ's way of life that I give into temptation and listen to Satan's lies. Yet, still, God loves me and blesses me. Listening to this song tonight, my eyes gleamed with tears wondering to myself and asking God, "Why can't I fall in love with you, God? Can I fall in love with you, God? Like, really fall in love with you...and forever?"

Then, Unforgettable came on the stereo filling me with a joy. You see, I imagined the "someone" Nat King Cole was referring to who thinks he is so incredible and unforgettable is God. How wonderful is it to think that God never forgets us; we're always on his mind. To God, we are unforgettable and priceless masterpieces of his own hands. And it's incredible to think that He thinks we're unforgettable.
In addition to God thinking we're unforgettable, I think he's pretty unforgettable too. I mean, how could it even be possible to forget God? He's everywhere! Seriously, everything that exists is because of all he created. It's amazing. And I find it pretty difficult to forget him. Especially when I see his gorgeous starry sky, a tree, beautiful sunrises & sunsets, cool animal creatures (butterflies, frogs/toads, etc.), and breath taking sites of nature.
God is totally unforgettable in my book! :)
