Confessions of a Marcaholic



Hi, my name is Elysa, and I'm a Marcaholic.

As with all "-holics", I have a love-hate relationship with the object of "holicism".

Love, because having Marc near makes everything beautiful.

Hate, because once it's gone, you feel strangely sad. And moody. And lonely. And you need more of Marc, so that everything is OK again.

It's ruining my friendships, because I spend way too much time with him.
It's ruining me as a person, because I spend way too much time with him.
It's even ruining our relationship, because quarrels that were bitter, arguments that were heated, just get buried because the world is suddenly in technicolour again.

So, we find ourselves in the addictive vicious cycle.

The solution is so simple, it's laughable: Find your satisfaction in the only source that can truly satisfy you.
If you drink the Living Water, you will never thirst again.
"Jesus answered, 'Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.'"

Wonderful reminder of the wealth and richness I've got in Christ.
With Him, it's not just technicolour, it's Blu-Ray and High Definition and the 3-D experience all in one.

Yet.

So difficult to practice what you preach.

Which is why, a two-month hiatus is actually something that I'm looking forward to.

It's time I spent more time with my First Love, and get "hooked" on Him again.

This Marcaholic's left the building.
