I Will Wait For You

For all my single sisters… ♥

I desire Your will above mine,

So even if you call me to a life of singleness,

My heart is content with You – the One who was sent.

You are the greatest love story ever told,

The greatest love ever known,

You are forever my judge & I’m forever Your witness

And I pray that I’m always found on a mission about my Father’s business.

Beauty From Ashes

“God can take what Satan meant for shame and use it for His glory. Just when we think we’ve messed up so badly that our lives are nothing but heaps of ashes, God pours His living water over us and mixes the ashes into clay. He then takes this clay and molds it into a vessel of beauty. After He fills us with His overflowing love, He can use us to pour His love into the hurting lives of others.”

Repeat

You’re the home movie that plays on repeat. The documentary film of my subconscious with a broken narrative and big, dramatic moments that float freely in time. Pieced together with muted scenes and unreadable characters, are things that matter.

Like a secret you repeat to yourself before you recognize the meaning of it. The one that keeps you going when you’re too far away to move forward and too far way to turn back. The internal voice that tells you to take another step.

Like the moment when I was nothing to you and you were everything to me, and that was okay because the two somehow felt connected. When being connected to someone didn’t mean feeling the same in that moment. Sometimes it’s enough just to feel.

Joy doesn’t have a face. Joy is a disjointed narrative and moments that float freely.

Time To Take A Risk, Sweetheart.

Remember Nashville from my post The One That Got Away? (http://polkadotteapot.wordpress.com/2011/01/04/the-one-that-got-away/)

I just bought a plane ticket to fly 2,800 miles to have dinner with him next month.

I had not seen him or heard his voice in 3 years, but thought of him often. Last weekend I decided to give him a call. Now we have a dinner date in a state where neither of us live.

Love, or a chance at it, is always worth the risk. It’s worth the risk of rejection. It’s worth the risk of making a mistake. It’s worth the risk of heartbreak. It’s worth everything.

People can accuse me of being crazy for flying across the country for a date, but they’ll never accuse me of wasting my soul.

We See Mountains & God Moves Them

I met God on a mountaintop this weekend.

I hope you met Him somewhere, too.

Heart Says Yes. Head Says No.

I’m done crushing on you.  

I need to crush on someone who can crush on me back. 

 Someday, I’ll get this right.  

Please Vote? I’ll Love You Forever & Ever.

Farther Along

I hope this song speaks to your soul as much as it does mine.
