Imzadi

[spdnet75]

For those of you who have known me in the 2 1/2 years that I've been coming here and for those of you who don't know me at all, Imzadi is a beautiful, made-up word from a TV show.

Imzadi means, "My Beloved".

I have no particular beloved, as many people might agree with regard to themselves.

I would love to hear about all of your Imzadi's and I will share with all of you those who fit that description for me.

How about a Thread for our Beloved!?

Yes, Imzadi is a beautiful word to describe your beloved and she who said it first is one of my favorite character counselors.

My Imzadi and I have been married for 21 years. One of the things I appreciate the most about him is that he first noticed me when I was at my heaviest in a long time and it didn't turn him off. I lost 105 lbs before we got married because I wanted to for my health and he loved me then and he loved me later when I gained 250 lbs. (which I've since lost again.) He has supported me through my eating d/o, my bipolar and my PTSD. He's loved me on my good days and loved me on my bad days/moments. H'es always desired my spiritual and emotional growth. He likes it when I'm independent but doesn't complain too much when I get needy. He'll cuddle in the day or night and not expect further action. Of course he's always ready to play when I am, and he thinks I'm sexy. He handles the household chores when I'm incapable, but encourages me to take over when I'm able. He supported my career change which included 27 months of gruelling additional full time post graduate education. He loves my little dog though at first he feared he'd be yappy; but was open enough to go check them out. Now he loves my "Percy" as much as I do. He's a Renaissance man. He's a computer guru by trade, a wood turner and worker by heart's desire and artists way, he sews better than I do, he flies a hot air ballon, he's an engineer and can fix darn near anything. He's not afraid to try something new but he doesn't go way off the deep end. He is my spiritual head of my family. He leads me in daily morning prayer, sometimes kicking me out of bed when I want to sleep in or the meds are kicking my butt. When I feel 'little' inside he pampers me, and plays with me and helps me to grow up again. He shares my burdens, my joys, my bills, my entertainment, my friends, our coworkers and we love each other deeply and intimately. Unfortunately, we were unable to have children but we share ourselves with our neice and nephews and children at church and neighbors. We love growing old togther and tease each other about being old geesers and geeserettes. I could rave about him all day and all thread long but I'll stop and let you vomit now from all this sugary sickness!! Seriously, yes , he is my Imzadi and what is so good to know is that my love relationship with Jesus is even more better than this.

That is wonderful, Laridy! Your husband sounds like an amazing man and you are lucky to have one another.

My dear friend, Kail is one whom I consider to be Imzadi.

She's walked with me through many of my darkest hours over the past 11 years and she always has words of wisdom and kindness to share with me. I don't get to spend much time with her because she lives a couple of hours away, but I cherish every moment I have with her because she's shown me what it means to care for the people around us and has given me a renewed strength with which to battle my Bipolar.

My beloved or Imzadi is God...

Dont get me wrong....I have lots of friends and family that I love and care about deeply but my true beloved would be God...

God is there for me whenever things get tough...
God has always been there for me, even when Ive walked away...
No human has given themselves to me like God has or stayed through life with me or loved me back like God...
No other human has shown the forgiveness and love that God has...
Sorry...but Im only being honest...

That's my answer for myself

I'm just glad we have an Imzadi to know and love us. Of course the Lord is my Imzadi; but I'm sure grateful for my dear husband. he's not perfect but I know God sent him to me for a reason and I'm grateful for every day we have together.
