listening to my cousin and her husband

read and talk about the Bible together. these are the moments you step back and realize that is what love is about…sharing the intimacy and love of Christ.

together.

I don’t want to go, I just want Your arms around me.

a graveside

a name. a memory. a legacy. a life. a love. a grandmother.

yet healing. yet hope. yet heaven.

Revelation 21:4

it’s a struggle, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. through my struggles Ive learned so much…what it takes to be strong, what it takes to be humble, and what it takes to be someone who truly loves and cares for others, just because of who they are and absolutely nothing else. its a struggle. it means its not easy. I get frustrated, upset, make mistakes, and can be a complete ignoramus, but if I didn’t ever find myself being that, I would still be a girl who didn’t care about others and didn’t realize how silly I was. I want to learn, and if breaking me down is what it takes, take all of me. 

I’m broken for Your glory.

silliness

my existence is full of it. it’s a love/not love relationship. it may not sound like it the way I explain it, but that’s the one thing that makes sense in this little cranium of mine.

(insert bible verse here)

it’s kind of funny…

it’s funny how people’s world revolves around finding a relationship. but when you think about it…like really hard…a relationship is more than a funny feeling in your stomach or a pretty face you enjoy being around. I want to have someone else, not just to want them, but to know them, share life, and whatever simple moments it brings. it will happen when it happens. I’m a girl. I am guilty of this too, but for me in some weird way, I am happy where I am, but the thinking about the future does make me happy too. It’s about patience. enjoy what is happening now. don’t let future happiness make the now seem insignificant, pointless, and depressing. Life is a journey - some of it is meant to be spent alone, and later roads are meant to have someone find you along the way. God is with us. He has it all figured out. 

Especially to my girls, don’t let boys overcome you. Love God first. Find who you are in Him - not anyone else. He is waiting for his bride, but it will happen in due time. Otherwise, just follow where He leads. 

Stay with God
      Take heart. Don’t quit. 
   I’ll say it again: 

      Stay with God. Psalms 27:14 

listening to indie rock and rain recordings simultaneously…relaxed and feeling so much better with getting done with work.

this is the kind of moment I look forward to sharing with someone wrapped up in his arms. 

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes, 
Smiles awake you when you rise ; 
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry, 
And I will sing a lullaby, 
Rock them, rock them, lullaby. 
Care is heavy, therefore sleep you, 
You are care, and care must keep you ; 
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry, 
And I will sing a lullaby, 
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
