Bub's getting married.

Hello all you readers out there.

So I haven't written in awhile, but it's because I've been busy because my brother is getting MARRIED! Woot. Woot. :o) He's my only brother, so it's a big deal. Only 3 weeks away, and he will be a married man...wow, that's pretty crazy!

So, I'm here to say that you should never take a day you have with your siblings for granted, because it could be gone in the blink of an eye. 3 weeks from now my brother will no longer be in the room right next to mine, he'll have a wife of his own, and he'll be in the married world...crazy right?! :)

I want to say that my brother has inspired me, and shown me what a man should be like for a girl. He knows how to treat Becca, and he loves her with this adoring love...He's fallen hard for this girl, and I couldn't be happier for him. He would go to the ends of the earth for her and I know that because I see the love in his eyes. I see happiness, and adoration for her, and nothing in the world could replace that look. He's head over heels for her.

Becca is someone that completes my brother. Together they are like...okay so I'm gonna be cheesy here, but they're like Salt and Pepper, or Peanut Butter and Jelly. They just wouldn't be the same if the other wasn't there, and they fit perfectly together. Ha. So I was just corny, but it's true, you couldn't choose someone better for the both of them.

On their wedding day they would have known each other for 9 months from the day they met, to their wedding day. Since that day though they've encouraged each other. They've made each other happier than ever. They've made each other laugh. They've gotten engaged. And they've encouraged me, in showing me that I will get that kind of love someday also...I just have to wait for it.

They fit together like a piece of Apple Pie.

Another day.

I'm here to write.

Today has been another day of letting God work. I've been trying to give God my life lately, and for everyone out there running their own lives..well you may think it's the bomb, but in the end giving God the glory and the chance to write your story for you, is the best thing.

I'm taking on a challenge right now, and I'm excited about this one. I know God works in different ways, and at different times, but I have a good feeling about this. This is my time to cling to my Heavenly Daddy, and rely on Him fully. It's my chance to be my own person, with only God by my side. I have to venture out on my own, and find myself. I have to let go of friendships, and give everything to God, and hope He brings them back to me in the end. I have to rely on Him for everything.

I want to open my heart a bit...
The past few months, I've been wishing God didn't put some obstacles in my life. I've been wishing that life was just plain easy. Guess what I've realized though? NOTHING in life is easy, and why in the world would you want to take that EASY path anyways? Where's the adventure and challenge in taking the easy path? I don't know, but I know that I do not want to take the so called "easy" path. God's put challenge after challenge in front of me lately, but I wouldn't trade one day or one challenge for anything in the world.

I've become someone better, and someone I want to be. I'm no longer timid...okay well I'm a little timid, but I'm coming out of my comfort zone little by little. I caught myself singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" on stage the other night in youth with one of my friends...that's not the old me! You would never catch me singing with the worst voice ever on stage, but I did, because I'm trying to make my life fun, and I'm asking God to put adventures in it.

I ask God often to challenge me, and to push me further because I don't want to be this scared girl any longer. I want to be on fire for God, and I want to be a girl that will someday be ready to have a man's heart.

Guess what though? Right now, I am NO WHERE close to being able to have a man's heart. God is still in the process of molding me into the Women He wants me to be, and well that process I have to do alone. I have to spend this time with my Heavenly Daddy, and I have to rely on Him for my everyday challenges. I have to cling to Him.

I know one thing, I'm on a journey I've been wanting to be on for a long time. I believe in my heart this is going to be a good one.

I'm going to be..
Challenged.
Inspired.
Creative.
Loved.
...and at the end of this journey I'm going to be adored by the man God has for me.

--Let this adventure begin! :)

I saw it tonight.

Blog writer here,
Hello =) it's been awhile! --My inspiration has all been pushed into writing a book lately, so I haven't really been thinking about much else, but tonight I saw it again...I saw the Moon for the first time in at least 5 days...seriously, I don't know where it's been but the Moon had disappeared until tonight. I've missed it!

I missed looking up at the Moon, and knowing God was standing by my side through it all. That's the way He would comfort me at night, by showing me His beauty first hand. I saw that beauty again tonight, and it may have only been for a couple minutes while walking out of church, but I still saw the beauty and it gave me that reminder I needed from God, to let me know that even in hard times He's here with me.

I think everyone has different ways of knowing God is by their side but this is my way, and if you all think it's weird, then take it up with my body guard...God :)

I hope everyone is having a good night. Wherever you are in the world tonight, I hope you're being inspired, or imaginative, or creative. Whatever you're choosing for yourself, I hope it's a good night...be inspired beyond your dreams, and never let anyone stop you. And when you feel God calling you somewhere, don't let anyone tell you no, or pull you down. They're just a product of Satan.

...Believe in yourself.

Her Place in This World.

She’s learned to love again, and trust people again. She had the courage to chase her dreams because she had people believing in her. She never gave up, and she always kept pushing. She fought for what she believed in, and never gave up.

This girl knew she needed to believe in her dreams again, because it had been too long for her, just sitting on the sidelines. She knows she needs to follow her heart, and not let anyone stop her.

She’s on that journey right now, of finding herself. She never realized how much was missing until she tried to find herself, and she was lost. She’s believing in her fairytales again, and she’s following her heart. She’s not going to let anyone stop her from accomplishing her dreams.

She’s also going to hide herself, and not let the world get to her. She is going to be herself, and ride this journey with God on her side. I personally know this girl is ready to take that adventure that’s been calling her name for a long time. She’s ready to jump on that horse, and experience every obstacle, as just a journey to find her real home.

She hasn’t found that spot in a long time. That spot where she just feels at home, and she’s ready to find it again. She’s longing desperately to find her place in this world. That place where she doesn’t have to be anyone but herself, and until then, she’ll be searching.

She’s not scared anymore, because God is on her side on this journey, and last time, well He wasn’t. He’s going to be her comforter, and very strong protector. He’s going to challenge her, and protect her heart, and give her an amazing ending.

Her life is nothing like she pictured it would be, but she wouldn’t trade one day for anything other than what she has right now. She is a firm believer in her dreams, and she knows that someday she’ll get that fairytale, she just has to wait for it. She needs some alone time with her Heavenly Daddy right now.

She is a fighter. She is a giver. She is a lover. She is a Daughter. She is a friend.

The crash of the Ocean.

The place I feel the most at home would have to be walking on the Clearwater Beach, or any beach for that matter, but Clearwater would have to be my hometown beach. I get inspired by God's creation, and beauty of this world. I see wonder, and grace, and just by seeing a beach Sunrise, I see all of God's works at hand in that one Sunrise. I know God loves to make people happy, and give them the desires of their hearts, so by giving a Sunrise it starts off everyone's morning in an awesome way. Filled with God is the best way!

I feel God's beauty with looking at the Moon, and seeing a Sunset, or Sunrise. Which with Sunrise's I've seen VERY few of those :) I simply see God is the midst of the woods, or in the middle of a pond. I love to grab my journal and a pen, and sit outside and just write to My God.

Okay so I'm going to try to explain what I'm feeling right now, but I have all these thoughts in my head, but I don't know how I can form them into words, but I'll try.

I feel at home by the Ocean, I'm not really sure why, but I do. I feel God's presence there with me, with taking a walk with Him. I need to find that "home" place again, it's been awhile since I've been to a beach...almost a year, and I need to find Him in the deep part of my heart, and feel Him guiding me beside still waters. I want to talk with My God, I want to experience the view of the beautiful Sunrise again.

I guess because I don't live by an Ocean anymore, I find God in the midst of the woods while hiking. Which don't get me wrong, is an awesome place to find God. He's shown me a lot while hiking. I see His beauty, and He's also taught me many things. I've learned to love all the beauty around me instead of just longing for what I use to have, because yeah I might have grown up for 4 and 1/2 years by the beach but that doesn't mean that I can't see God's beauty somewhere else. He has it everywhere for me, just waiting for me to realize it, and capture it in my own eyes.

I need to find my spot in this world. I need to find my home and build from there. I need to find me. Until I find this place, I'll be searching, but with God by my side. If God takes me to Ireland or Tampa Florida, I'll go. I'll follow God with everything in me. I'm ready to follow His calling for my life. I'll simply follow.

-I believe I just got everything that was in my head to a writing...success!

..Goodnight, it's late and I'm tired. To all you dreamers, lovers, singers, Mothers, Fathers, and people that don't know what your calling is in life...Never give up! You'll find your place in this world someday. Just simply wait.

Letters to Juliet.

These are my thoughts of the night....hope you'll enjoy them.

First off, I went to see the movie "Letters to Juliet" tonight with my Sister and Momma, and wow, that was a great movie! :) It showed me true love, and lasting love. I know it's just a movie, but it had us all believe in the power of love, and to show us that it's never too late to fall in-love. There is 1 person out there for everyone, and I know that no matter how long you wait, or how long you are single, God is bringing that person into your life, and they will come. You just have to be patient.

This movie gave me the courage to wait a little longer, and to have God as my Prince. I know I'm still pretty young but it's never too early to say, "I'm waiting for you love."

I guess my thoughts on tonight are to tell everyone out there that's reading this, is to say, hold onto your dreams, and believe in that love you'll find someday. No matter where you are in the world right now, believe in someday capturing that love God is holding onto for you right now.

If you're in Rome or if you're in Africa, or if you're miles and miles away from the one you love but you can't let them know that, just believe that someday it'll be the right timing. They'll come, and you'll have them.

This is going to be a sappy kind of blog tonight, but I know God has someone amazing out there for me. Someone that will give me the world, and someone I can look at everyday and think to myself, "how did I get so lucky with him?" I'm excited about that love. The day I'll be able to give all my love to one man, oh how I long for that day. Sweetheart, if you're reading this, wherever you are in the world tonight, please wait.

I'm holding onto my dreams tonight, and my love. I'm simply waiting.

A dream that will last forever.

To most people my dreams are a mystery, but to very few they are well known.

I dream with a kind of dreaming where nothing else matters in the world except for how crazy my mind can dream.

I as a child use to dream of giant vegetables, and being just like my Mom once I had children of my own to love, I would imagine my children climbing up in my bed for a bed time song. I longed for that dream to become reality someday. But as the dreams of giant vegetables passed, and slowly faded into nothing, the dream of becoming a Mommy was still very important in my life. I wanted that life, I wanted children of my own that would say to me as their last words of the night.."I love you Mommy."

I believe that the reason this dream is so important to me is because I saw my Mom raise 5 children, and home school us all. She made it happen with such ease, and she loved her life, she still does. I saw her work a crazy day of home schooling us all, and then she would by the end of the day have Dinner made, and then she would make time for our "special song" every night. It's a dream that she longed for as a little child, and she made it become reality for her, yeah she had to wait for it, but she got the amazing Husband, and then she got her children.

If my dreams are shattered, and my love story isn't perfect, I do know one thing, I will love my own children someday.
