I want my time on earth to glorify the one who created me. I wish I had enough strength to praise God as he deserves to be praised. I want to live life in his will and follow the path he wants me to be on. I don’t want to stumble in my own thoughts and ponderings and get off of his track and on to my own will. Yet, I continue to do all the opposite of this. There is so many questions to life, it is time I pray and listen for clear answers from the Lord and not my mind and heart. It is time I lay my life down for Him as He did for me. 

Just one of those nights where my heart is pondering what the future holds. And of course, being a little girl and finding a couple cute wedding shots and quotes.

 

(Everything about this picture is simply beautiful and perfect ^^^)

“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” 

“Trip over love, you can get up. Fall in love and you fall forever.”

“When the one man loves the one woman and the one woman loves the one man, the very angels desert heaven and come and sit in that house and sing for joy.” 

“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness- and call it love- true love.” 

Clancie

This beautiful girl is my sister Clancie. She passed away in a car accident before I ever had the chance to meet her. It’s odd that I still feel like I know her even though we’ve never met. People tell me that she was wonderful and that I am a lot like her. Every once in a while someone will ask me how many siblings I have and I never know how to answer it. But fact is, I have four. Although I have not met Clancie she will still always be my sister. I never thought I would think about someone I have never met so much, but she is near and dear to my heart. I remember my sister telling me when I was a child to just look for the biggest star in the sky and that was Clancie. Whenever I get the chance to go to a place where the stars are shining bright I still always look for the biggest brightest star and can feel her presence. RIP Clancie Oswald <3 

When in doubt, consult your inner child.

I think she was afraid to love sometimes. I think it scared her. She was the type to like things that are concrete, like the ocean. Something you could point to and know what it was. I think that’s why she always struggled with God. And I think that’s why she also struggled with love. She couldn’t touch it. She couldn’t hold on to it and make sure it never changed.

coffee coffee coffee

Never have I ever liked or drank coffee until this semester. Now, I am addicted. Iced coffee all day every day. 19 credits= coffee. work= coffee. Studying= coffee. Bored= coffee. ohhhh goodness. Here’s a toast to a longggg semester! 

You lift me up when I am weak.

I love you Jesus! <3 

I want you to come chasing after me like you use to but instead I chase after you and you want nothing to do with me.

love myself, love others, love Jesus

…to be in a relationship with god is to be loved purely and furiously. and a person who thinks himself unlovable cannot be in a relationship with god because he can’t accept who god is; a being that is love. we learn that we are lovable or unlovable from other people…that is why god tells us so many times to love each other.
