This summer, ALIVE is reading Donald Miller's
Searching for God Know What. It is a good book, I can relate a lot with what he said. I am right on chapter 5. He talked about the Garden of Eden. I read about it before in Genesis. There seems to be no sense of time. In the first day, God did this. In the second day, God did that. God asked Adam to name all animals. ...God took a rib out of Adam's body and Eve was created. I have always thought that all this events happen in a week, at most two weeks. I never thought of the millions species on earth that Adam names. I have never imagined how difficult it must be for Adam to climb all the way up to the eagle's nest or swim into the sea to name those turtles and whales. That must takes him near 100 years. How lonely must it be. Miller was saying he must have treasure Eve so much when he saw her that she exclaimed:
She is my Bone of my Bone
Flesh of my Flesh.
He must think that she is the best gift from God and that God just knows his mind. She must have felt so loved. I don't think I can explain as well as the book. But I can get a sense of how women's role have walked away from what it was intended to be. It must not be God's intention to treat women like objects or procession of men, which one can shop for at the bar or even church. Women must be more than something the men think that they need to complete life standing in the line with jobs, cars or house. Girlfriends must be most than just some fantasy or something to fulfill the need and desire of their boyfriend. And how come the boyfriends can say they don't want to talk with the girl, while the opposite can't happen?
And yes, I am angry if you wonder. Why have love become so twisted? Why have girls become so vulnerable? To be honest, I am tired. I enjoy every day now that I am single. I finally have a fuller life. I have more freedom and control. I am thinking more, appreciate everything more.
