Learning,Loving,Living.
Its that time of year. The time of year I get all sentimental. School is almost out. My schedule is jammed packed. I am sleep deprived. I am excited. I am sad. I am eager. And somehow I love every moment and every hair pulling second of it. As I'm sure I have mentioned before Im a little old for my grade. Im 18 and ending my Junior. I have always secretly enjoyed it but now that everyone I have grown up with the the exception of a few people are graduating I am kinda hating it. But once agin God has a way of bringing my heart to rest. I have realized I need to just be thankful that I am alive and well and everything I do I should do to honor and glorify Him. Ladies and Gentlemen let me tell you when you live by that one piece of knowledge life becomes so much more joyful. I don't take the small things for granted by any means anymore. Jr./Sr. Banquet and other such exciting events to be posted later.

Set Fire to the Rain- Adele
I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they were strong, but my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
When laying with you I could stay there
Close my eyes, feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing is better
'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you's play, you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
I just love this song so very much. So I thought I'd share. You cant post youtube videos on here or at least I don't know how to or I would have. Adele's voice is incredible and brings this song to life. So you should check it out. :)

Real Men love Jesus.
This post has no other purpose than to state the fact that the most attractive quality in a guy is when he loves the Lord his God with all his heart, soul and mind. The guy I want to marry will be a guy like that. I will settle for nothing less. He doesn't have to sweep me off my feet. He doesn't have to buy me gifts. He doesn't have to be anything the world says he should be. The only requirement is that he be in love with His creator.

Just Because.
just because-- this relates so well to my last post.
just because--its so true.
just because--If you love at all. If you do anything. If you have any type of relationship. you ARE vulnerable.
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.” -C.S. Lewis
just because-- I never thought I could love someone so much. Isn't he precious?

A valuable possession.
I think one of the hardest things I have come to face in life is venerability. I have let so many people in so many times that it's become the very thing I fear the most. As I get older I add things to my list that I choose to hold in. I have never really held things in until now. I don't really understand. I guess it has become my way of guarding my heart from the very people that want to rip it apart. I guess there is really no purpose in this tonight besides the fact that I feel extremely venerable these days. I feel like I wear my heart on my sleeve for the whole world to pick at and one day, sooner or later there will be nothing left. I am very fearful of this day.
Here is a verse that I have definitely been throwing around in my mind lately."Above all else, guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil." - Proverbs 4:23-27
I thought I always understood how vital it was to keep the innocence and purity of my heart but for those of you have not figured it out...it's pretty dang hard in this world. For me, I find it funny how the harder you try to keep your eyes fixed directly in front of you the more things that get thrown at you to make you fall. Sometimes I question my strength...I allow the world to tell me I am weak. I allow Satan and his lies to creep into my thoughts and pull me off the path that I have purposely attempted to walk. This is a constant battle for me.
I know I have no choice but to keep fighting this very common battle. I can't give up and I can't stop guarding my heart. The condition of my heart is how I will interpret everything in my life and if it's the one thing I begin to compromise I know I will only be setting my self up for defeat. I am so grateful for God's unending grace. Oh how lost we would be without it.
That's all for tonight. I just needed to ramble. A lot of different things racing though my mind these days. Im growing up fast and sometimes it scares me. Goodnight Ya'll. :)
