Crazy High.


You know that crazy high you get when you have a great date? Yeah, well I've never had one of those-a date that is, so I wouldn't know what that feels like, but I've heard it's something like when your mind swims with visions of you and your clearly-soon-to-be-new-boyfriend going on trips and holding hands while strolling about? When you’re so drunk with the promise this new relationship holds that you tell all your girlfriends about it, gushing about all the reasons you like him?

I feel that way right now, minus the gushing. I simply am not a gusher. I’m sure the crash is coming, but in the meantime, let’s all bask in the glow of that rarity that is the great feeling. But. Then again it's all in God's timing right?


Everything was beautiful and she was perfectly happy in this frozen moment, lost in an unknown world where above all else, she felt what it was like to experience total and overwhelming joy. She closed her eyes and tasted the moment. -Adam Young

Dear Lord

Dear God
For the past couple of days I have been in sort of a slump. Every so often I feel down and I can't explain this feeling. Sometimes I feel that I am not fulfilling my purpose here on earth. Thankfully today I woke up in a much better mood, after looking into your scripture. I am at that point in my life where I am asking what next? I can't help but wonder what is next for me? I guess I am at a cross roads in my life. However, I am not really despaired because I have been at this junction before. We all have dreams and expect our lives to go one way when the reality is that more often than not our lives turn out completely opposite-for the better anyway. I now realize that I have plans for my life but God's plans are always better. So when I come to a cross roads in my life I turn to God and ask for the strength, courage and guidance to follow His Will. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". It is with this scripture that I find solace and comfort in knowing that God is always there for me even when I am not there for myself. Lord. Help me to Glorify you in all that I do. Especially in the decisions at hand.
