Interestingly enough, this is something God has been teaching / reinforcing in me over the years, and was something I was seeking Him about this morning. I once heard it put: "God is our greatest need, and companionship is our greatest desire." I think there's a lot of truth to that, and certainly agree with your statement.There was another thread elsewhere I am viewing where someone just now gave an alleged quote from St. Augustine in response to the subject of "soul mates". Being a conditionalist Christian I naturally strongly oppose Augustine on one hand, but mind you I can definitely agree with him here on this quote:
"Thou, O Lord, hath created us for Thyself. And our hearts are ever restless until they rest in Thee."
Even as we look forward to our future spouses and lifelong loves as our "soul mates" (especially a romantic idealist as myself may do), we must remember that, truly, perhaps God is the soul-mate to each of us.

Thank you for the prayers! Admittedly, I’ve given little thought to my Beloved outside of the comments made on threads. I haven’t prayed for him in a long while. The subject never comes up outside this space. Your comment coincides with the prodding I’ve been getting as of late.

We made rainsticks at school when I was in 5th grade. They had beans in them. I think that was my first experience with woodworking. We had a lot of sanding and decorating to do. Is there anything inside of yours?
I bet the shells sound pretty! I adore creativity in all its wholesome forms.
Did you see my post on MJ? I’m so happy. I can finally let my hair down.
