The running joke between my friend and I was that I was the 27 year old virgin teaching through the most passionate book of the bible. We laughed at the irony and doubted women would come to hear Songs of Solomon taught during the summer series of 2008.
But women came. And we had fun. And I learned so much about dating, marriage, and intimacy.
The course finished with overwhelming success measured through restoration, healing, and clarity. Yes, Solomon dropped it like it was HOT. Literally. We had to wrestle through the tension of what femininity looked like in the face of passion and surrender. [Just writing that last sentence out made me feel like the a buxom blonde on the cover of a cheap grocery market romance novel. All I need is Fabio to show up with an open shirt and we’re set!]
September came and with it a new set anxiety about being single, alone, and without Fabio. One woman who knew me intimately found me after the series and asked to pray over me and whoever I was to marry. Truthfully, I thought I knew who I was going to marry I could’ve sworn God revealed it to me—scripture and all! But he married someone else. I was crushed, alone, and Fabio-less.
Because God has a sense of humor, the same woman who prayed over me two years ago sent me an email last week with emoticons of smiling yellow faces and moving hands. In true Alanis Morisette irony, the daily reading for us [we both read the One-Year bible] is no other book than Songs of Solomon! My life has come full circle.
I’m traveling up the California coast this morning while trying to finalize guest activities for the next couple days. Dad is driving, mom is sleeping, and I’m grateful to be here; in the now, in God’s perfect time, with God’s perfect peace.
