the idea

I am in a revelational season of life.

I have a vision of the path; God is in the process of paving it and slowly revealing it to me.

From what I can see in my dreams...it's breath-taking.

I have an idea of what I want, God gave me the idea and His plan is too perfect not to follow.

He will unveil it all when the time is just right.

For now, I'm so blessed to blow where the wind takes me.

And lucky for me the wind has pick me up and placed me in the arms of the man I love.

Anywhere He goes....let me go too!

the thought of the day

I AM A CHILD OF GOD, BORN BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH;

WHO DREAMS DREAMS AND PLAYS IN THE RAIN.

ALL THE WHILE, LISTENING TO THE SOUND OF

THE FATHER'S VOICE IN MY HEART.

I AM A WOMAN.

I AM ECLECTIC, PASSIONATE, MYSTERIOUS, WILD, GENTLE, LOVING & DEVOTED.

I ENJOY CURLING UP WITH A GOOD BOOK BY THE LAKE.

I ENJOY SITTING BY A CRACKLING FIRE AND DRINKING HOT COCO.

I ENJOY LAYING IN AN OPEN FIELD AND SEEING WHAT SHAPES THE CLOUDS MAKE. I SMILE WHEN GOD MAKES A FUNNY ONE JUST FOR ME.

I OFTEN GAZE UP AT THE MOON AND THE STARS.

I AM FILLED WITH AWE AT HOW AMAZING GOD IS AND THAT HE, WHO FASHIONED ALL THINGS, LOVES ME WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE.

the heart

it's remarkable how much love a heart can hold.

it's also amazing how much pain it can carry.

the heart can survive through some of the most traumatic experiences.

it still fights to stay alive.

it's the life line.

you might think that your heart is just another working organ inside your body,

but it is so much more.

it is an organ of fire.

with every beat, which is generally 70-80 beats per minute, it is constantly supplying blood and oxygen to all parts of the body, even the brain, which is another fascinating organ.

"The brain gives the heart it's sight. The heart gives the brain its vision."

it is pumping, pulling, fueling, contracting, expanding and distributing the proper ratio of vital materials that our bodies need to function.
why so much passion?

without it our bodies would shut down and die.

the heart works with an "all or nothing" mentality. Each time it contracts it uses all it's force, barely resting before it surges more blood and oxygen through our veins.

the Right and Left Atrium work in perfect harmony to nourish every cell within our body.

it's amazing!

we serve an awesome God, who created all things.

we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

thank you Lord, for making me so amazingly complex.

only You know my heart. it is Yours. it is on fire for You.

my heart overflows with love for you and you shed your blood for my soul.

the greatest measurement of love is sacrifice.

and when there is heartache, the heart is the only broken instrument that can still work.

God is closest to those who have broken hearts. He is the only one who can heal them.

and even when we break God's heart. He loves us, again, and again, and again.

Thank God, for you unconditional love.

the life

Whom have I in heaven but You?

I desire more than anything on earth.

My flesh and heart may fail,

but God remains the strength of my heart;

He is mine forever.

Those who are far from You will perish;

for You destroy those who abandon You.

But as for me, how good it is to be near God!

I have made the Sovereign LORD my shelter,

and I will tell everyone about the wonderful

things You do.

-Psalm 73:25-28

Life comes only from the Lord.

Through the Word of the Lord and from His Holy Spirit.

To live life completely, and to it's full potential,

we need to be near the One who create it.

The One who breathed the breath of life into us.

Our life is His.

When we live a life apart from God,

we are not experiencing fullness.

We are missing the wonderful things that God

wishes to show us.

We are not walking with Him.

We are not living to our full potential.

We are dead inside.

It is God's word, through The Bible, that can replenish our soul.

It is God's Holy Spirit that lives in us and gives us each day.

Without these, we are are not truly living.

In order to experience life...we need to experience God, through Christ's love.

It is only then, that we can begin to live.

Shed the sin of the past and become a new creation.

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone. To have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But God to the Christian says, "No, not until you're satisfied and fulfilled and content with living, loved by Me alone and giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, to have an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone.

"I love you, My child, and until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with Me -- exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or belongings.

"I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Me to bring it to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you. You must wait.

"Don't be anxious and don't worry. Don't look around at the things you think you want. Just keep looking off and away up to Me, or you'll miss what I have to show you.

"And then, when you're ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would ever dream. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready, I am working this minute to have both of you ready at the same time, and until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I've prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and this is perfect love.

"And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty and perfection and love that I offer you with Myself. Know I love you. I am God Almighty, believe and be satisfied."

the unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings

Just when we think we figured things out, God throws us a curveball.

So, we have to improvise. We find happiness in unexpected places.

We find ourselves back to the things that matter the most.

God has a funny way of doing that.

Sometimes it just His way of making sure we wind up exactly where we belong.

♥

I know, I'm exactly where I belong. God's timing is always perfect.

Stu and I just arrived in New Jersey a few days ago and we are already falling in love with our surroundings. It has been an amazing journey thus far, and it is only the beginning. We are blessed that God has chosen us to make this journey. We pray that He will keep our hearts and minds focused on Him through out our future together. We are so solid in our love and commitment for each other and are excited to take these next steps hand-in-hand.

We have always said that we would bloom where ever we are planted…

and here we are laying the seeds.

Each day I feel stronger and every day more excited about what the future holds for us. With Stu's passion, excellence, and ambition in what he does every day, I'm sure we will go far. He is the most amazing man I have ever met. He ALWAYS has a smile on his face and a positive attitude, no matter his circumstances. He always strives to be the best, never turns down an opportunity to learn something new, and constantly looks for way to improve himself as a man of God, a soon-to-be husband, a pilot, and a friend. Can you tell I'm obsessed with this man? ;) Throughout our travels we have quickly come to realize that we must be able to count on each other, lean on each other, and balance each other. Which I think we do an excellent job of all the above. :)

Be where you are; otherwise you will miss your life.

I love where I am and I am blessed to be here.
