Going to the chapel…

…and I’m gonna get married!

Really! I’m engaged! haha…I am so incredibly happy and excited. Logan popped the question on Sunday (Nov. 8th). Actually he didn’t pop the question…it was quite a process…an extremely romantic, heart melting process.

I’ll write out all the wonderful details soon…I have to go right now. But I just had to share!

AHHHH! Haha…I’m getting married!

*Sighs as she gazes at the ring on her finger*

Until the next update…

So Bright

I can’t open my eyes because your presence is so bright.
I’m not worthy to come near,
so I will be content to hear;
to listen to your voice as you sing over me.

You beckon to my heart,
you say let go; to let you in.
You say you want to open my eyes to your brightness as you heal
those fractured places and shattered faces in my soul.

I choose instead to hesitate and procrastinate until I miss your call…

I push and pull and rant and run away,
until I feel as if I can’t come to you any more.

Then I’m left standing still…

I can’t open my eyes because your presence is so bright.
I’m not worthy to come near,
so I will be content to hear;

to listen to your voice as you sing over me.

 

So now, I’m right back at the start,
at the place where you beckon to my heart.

Maybe this time I’ll make the right choice.

No more broken cycles.
No more games.
Just You.

 

Just You

You make me smile like the sun…

 

Just a few pictures I’ve been editing since a photo shoot me and my friends had a couple months ago. Enjoy

You are my hiding place…

I hate how quickly our lives can change.

As of today, mine and my families circumstances have been so altered, that things can never return to the way they were before.

Never

And it scares me.

I don’t think it has really sunk in yet, just how irrevocable this change is…and I am not looking forward to the day it does. My heart is hurting, and I keep asking God why this has to happen…why He can’t just DO something about it! Bu there, in the midst of my screaming and my anger, I hear a small whisper. It says

‘I am your hiding place.  I protect you from trouble.  I surround you with songs of victory.  I AM ENOUGH.’

So I will be still and Know that He is God…I don’t know why and I don’t how it’ll all turn out…but He is enough.

The last day…

Today is my very last day as a teenager! What a thought…I suddenly feel so old. I have had a great day so far. Eating out at Olive Garden does that I guess.

Getting all introspective again…I wonder if I am where I thought I would be as I looked toward this day so many years ago. In any case, I am where I am, and I like it. Well, that is all I suppose. Till I write again!
