No Cuddles. He has a Purpose.

 

Gandhi said, “The law of sacrifice is uniform throughout the world. To be effective it demands the sacrifice of the bravest and the most spotless.” She must be one of the bravest to sacrifice cuddling, and even more spotless to refrain when she lay next to the man in her notebook .   Does she like him? Yes. He’s so easy to understand because they are so much alike. Every day, he does or says something that amazes her. Regardless if he believes it or not, he’s a true gift and she sees so much greatness in him. Never in her life, has she lay in bed with someone and not cuddled. She loves to cuddle, it’s part of her lovey dovey nature; she cuddles her family, her friends and of course those randoms that were a waste of time.  But more importantly, he respected her decision to abstain from cuddling and he didn’t try a thing. She fell asleep in peace, something she could never do with anyone else.  No guilt. No conviction.  Just peace. When she woke up, she was entertained by the adventures of Dora the Explorer. She talked to God, while the man in her notebook called all the hogs with his snoring.  She just wanted to thank God for friendship, because it’s not something she gets to experience often. After her conversation with God, she doodled for a moment and began to feel the inspiration she had been missing. She wrote and continued to write until he woke up. Oddly, he placed a bible next to where she was writing. She cracked open the Good Book and the book of James touched her with a quickness.

The Man in Her Notebook has a  purpose in her life
