Sometimes I think things would be easier if I could just tell the future, and know exactly where I'd end up.. but then I could just skip the journey, because it would be meaningless.. and I think that the journey is half the point... the end will justify the means. but i am enjoying the means all the same.
There are so many people in my life that are just SUCH a blessing. I cannot imagine life without them, yet I've lived without them up until this point... so I often wonder what other great and marvelous things God has in store for me.
Right now I'm going to make each day count.
Laugh as much as I can.
Smile at every person that walks by me.
Meet new people.
Dream big dreams..and achieve them.
I'm gunna love with all my heart, with no strings attached. Even the unloving and unloveable.
I am going to be a friend to those who have no friends.
I'm going to hold my head up high and be proud that I am different.
Occassionally I am going to falter, I'm going to mess up, I'm going to make mistakes. But those mistakes will teach me a lesson that I needed to learn in order to grow.
I can sit back and smile and be content with my life because I know there are people in it that will affect and impact me greatly, and I can only hope with all my heart that something I do or say will also impact them.
I am satisfied because I know that nothing I can think up on my own compares to anything the Lord has prepared for me in my future.
I know too, that there is a boy, sitting at home, thinking about me... as much as I think about him.

Man, I love those little moments when you're in bed after a really long day and you immediately realize that whoever SHE ends up being, she's thinking about you right now.

It's sort of like watching God paint.
