Intimacy

Two years ago I had a good laugh with a co-worker over how much she hated the word intimacy. Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy" video had just been released and of course that word was mentioned in the opening.

I've never had a problem with the word but I have had a problem using it correctly.

I think now I know the true meaning. The reason being because I have intimacy with Valentine.

Whether it's something good or bad, I know I can share it with him and vice versa.

Also, anyone who can eat off my plate no problem, or that automatically knows when I'm going to scoop something off my plate has to have a level of understanding about me and my actions.

I think the true reason this can happen is because we are so open about our relationship with Christ. When we relate our frustrations or highs and encourage each other, there's a level or authenticity that doesn't come in everyday conversations about television or worldly things.

I cherish our talks and miss them when they don't occur, BUT I know there is one person greater with whom I have an even more intimate conversation and I can't ever forget to keep talking and nurturing that relationship.
