Dear
Taylor,
I have
speculated that the song Back to December
could be an apology to Taylor Lautner, you recent boyfriend who starred as Jacob Black
in the movie saga, Twilight, however
my observation is not conclusive. We often take for granted what we have when
it is no longer here, like possibly losing a job we hate because we no longer
have the income it supplied. Sometimes the stress of not having a job can be
more than the stress of having that job and thus not having the ability to pay
bills which can then strain a relationship as well…
Some think that falling in love is enough to keep a
relationship intact. I highly disagree. Love cannot be highlighted without
service. If Christ-like love is to prevail, you must learn to serve one
another. Putting your own ambitions, wants, and needs above the another person
relationally will only last so long; eventually the ice will break towards the
detriment of those standing then sinking into the water. “I married him because
I fell in love.” That can be good if in human terms it is not the only reason
to pursue a lifelong commitment that not many take seriously these days. I hope
in relation to love for a person this assertion clicks with your own logic.
Simply said one person cannot give 110% for the duration if the other person is
not doing the same. If both flourish in a relationship with God, then service
with one another tends to line up exactly where it should. Then falling in love
engages its full fulfillment in one’s commitment to God.
You have a good heart. I strongly believe that, or I
would not write a blog with entries such as this. I remember during country
music week in Nashville during the 2010 season you hugged thousands of fans for
sixteen hours providing autographs and photographs to all those in line until
the very last one. That act of service is a display of how love in a
relationship should work. You served your fans, and I believe when you meet the
right one you will know how to serve him as well. God’s timing is resolute. It
will come when you are ready, and it will come when God is ready to reveal
himself.
You truly already change lives – just keep doing what you
do….and when that guy shows up, just give him a hug and show yourself as the
Taylor who serves thousands of fans for sixteen hours.
Mending while in the future tense,
