Love don't make no sence...
Well it's been an interesting week....Lets see Monday was nice beginning to the week. I had a soccer game and once again we slaughtered them..lol...it was a fun game. By Tuesday I was wishing it was Friday and by Wednesday let’s just say I turned on cruise control and now I am coasting into the weekend! Last night I went to an amazing concert, featuring the David Crowder Band, Earth Suit, and Shawn Mc Donald, all very good!
It's Friday! Oh and Happy Friday it is!
Well nothing to interesting in Bobbi’s world, except for this book I am reading, " By the River Piedra, I Sat and Down and Wept" by Paulo Coelho. I got it on Tuesday, my friend Kurt made me promise I to pick it up, and I finished it today I could have read it in a day if I had the time. From the moment I opened, my eyes ran across the pages as if I was inside the book myself. I have never read a love story before quite like this or anything of the sort really. It is a story about a woman who is struggling with really letting go and let her heart take control and stop trying to control everything! It takes place in France, (where we all know love always does)...The Author does an amazing job at illustrating and explaining in detail what true love entails. It's a book about faith as well, about how where truth resides there is faith..
What’s funny about this book is how it is so me! I have to be honest I started reading it very pessimistically; I mean I just thought love stories are so fake and unrealistic. But then as I continued to read I started to laugh and cry at the same time and became overwhelmed with passion....you see this woman is me in a nut shell. I was relating so much to her that it scared me, but at the same time open my mind to some interesting prospective on life.
I don't want to ruin it for anyone out there who hasn't read it yet, which I highly recommend you read it, but I will say one thing, "To love is to lose control"
An excerpt:
"YOU HAVE TO take risks, he said. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen. Every day, God gives us the sun-and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven't perceived that moment, that t doesn’t exist- that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives they will discover that magic moment..."
