Wow! What a great title right? Hopefully, it grabs your attention because I have been sitting on this subject for about 2 weeks now....contemplating and considering.....thoroughly thinking about what I know was a moment of revelation straight from the lips of our Maker....


One day shortly after my one true, earthly love followed God's calling to "go forth into the nations" (or in this case Indonesia), I was driving with a very heavy spirit of depression over our separation and asking myself vigorously why she had to leave....doesn't God know how much she pulled me from despair and loneliness? Of course, I knew the answer immediately because I know with all my heart that He brought us together and that He has guided us very faithfully....and patiently to each other and given us tools to grow and mature in our relationship with each other and especially with Him. I miss her so much and every day we are apart feels like one day too long.....I thought to myself.."Why would God do this?" I know that His ways are not man's ways but I couldn't take any comfort in that piece of truth because my heart aches after her with such intensity....then it was simply overwhelming and I found myself weeping on several occasions but that is a story for another day....the intensity of the emotions spilling from my heart were unbearable at times and I couldn't fathom where such power could come from....back to driving...I was driving to a community jazz band practice with thoughts of sorrow and heartache flying about my consciousness, questioning and wondering what lessons I am supposed to learn.....then in a sudden and very quick moment I knew that God had spoken to me...the thoughts came all at once and filled my mind even back into the deepest corners where always there is a small part of me thinking about her....the next phrases will hopefully give you a glimpse into what He said.......God loves us with such incredible passion and we can never even hope to fully understand the complete depth of His love...this passion and all-consuming fire of yearning I am experiencing is like a small match when compared to the roaring flame of God's bonfire of love..............what emotion God must feel when just one of his sheep go astray!!! He desires after me and He desires after you with more passion, ardor, fervor, intensity, dedication, devotion, and zeal in the blink of an eye than we will ever feel in a lifetime of love! God has given me a small, oh such a small, small glimpse into His heart and it left me reeling as if someone just punched me in the chest.....we read in 1 John 4:16 that God is love.......such an awesome and passionate God we serve! He taught me in one of my most sorrowful hours that He is there to hold us closer and to love us more than any of us ever can.....if you read this Erin I love you so much and I thank God every day for your love you show me.......you truly are a blessed gift from God and I want nothing more than to serve you as God serves us. I love you

Some are probably wondering why I joined this site of online, socially-connected peers....me, I'm wondering the same thing lol While I was driving home from work today, I was pondering the name of my site and came up with a area I will be focusing on and delving into hopefully at length and with frequency...only time will tell though! Those who know me can attest to the fact that I tend to be somewhat scatter-brained and perhaps even a border-line eccentric Of course, if you know me and still like me, chances are you are just as, if not more, eccentric as I. Wow, would you take a gander at that doozy of a rabbit trail? The point of this post is to inform those who may be wondering as to my intentions with future posts. As the name implies, "Geigley...It's a lifestyle", I will be sharing personal insights I have gained from life and have yet to gain. These insights and musings are not promised to be either sacred or secular in nature but simply my personal view on life and all that entails With that, I bid thee all farewell until next time!
