You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless

Perfectly Precious

Maybe it was sunset, slight breeze, the smell of saltwater. Maybe it was bonfires and the smiles of some of the closest friends, but it was perfect, one couldn't imagine even for a second that one could be any happier. Then a heartpound.


He asked her if she wanted to walk. Stuttering she says sure...slowly rising and glancing at the onlooking grins of the accompanying friends..why were they all so on edgly excited? She shrugs it off and the two of them set off.

Carrying of jovial, meaningless yet friendly conversation at first. But then the tide turns, there they are. On the beach, at waters edge, walking. His arm slips over her shoulder and her heart skips a beat.
He asks if it's okay and she nods slowly looking up into his eyes, breathless. He takes a deep breath and dives in with the unforgettable words, 'so I talked to your mom...' Shock over comes the girl, unbelievable happiness. You might wonder why this is would be such an important statement to her, but it is, because she knew exactly what he meant by it, and what would proceed. She takes it all in. Trying to concentrate on every memory and cement it forever in her brain.

They walk, his arm over her shoulder, her arm looped loosely around his side. Both content and the asks, 'So, would you go out with me?' and she nods unable to answer. The pure joy and bliss of the moment, the moment one is first asked out is unforgettable. She can't find words to answer and sum up her wholeness of happiness.



They head back to the bonfire arm in arm, grinning from ear to ear completely and utterly happy, not a thing in the world could bring them down.

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.
