Fall is on it's way!

I'm oober excited at the moment.

Fall is COMING! Oh Fall, you are my most favorite time of the year. And I've been waiting for you for a long time. I love when all the leaves are changing, and falling to the ground. It's the time when the Winter coats are brought about. And I start thinking about Christmas... =)

Fall I believe is God's time where He just reminds everyone just how beautiful His world really is. Because in my opinion Fall is not a time to stay indoors. It's a time to explore the beauty of this world. I love to be outside, and take walks, or go hiking, really anything that involves the outdoors. It's just plain beautiful.

Am I weird, or are there some of you that can just smell Fall coming? I sure can, and that's what makes me very, very excited.

Question-What is it that you want to accomplish with the last couple months of 2010? What do you want to explore, or where do you want to go? How do you want to remember September, October, November, and December of 2010?

These are a few of the things I want to do...

1. Finish writing my 2nd book.

2. Go on a real hike.

3. Sleep in a tent...(maybe) ;)

4. Learn to play Guitar.

5. Finish reading, "Divine Matchmaker," "Wild At Heart," and "Hero."

6. Make lots of memories with friends.

7. Grow closer to my Heavenly Daddy.

----
Okay so these are just a few things I would like to do with the rest of MY year but, what do you want to do? Make the rest of this year a year to remember. Enjoy it, and live out your dreams.

=)

...Now onto another subject. Sorry if I seem like I'm all over the place in this blog, because that's how my mind is today...everywhere! So bare with me.

Take a moment and look back a year ago...What was happening in your life? Were you happy? I remember what was happening a year ago, and there are days I wish I could go back to that time a year ago. Today is one of those days. It seemed so much easier a year ago. Then again, if I went back to a year ago, I'd have to live through these past couple months again, and that's hard to think about.

So, yes I'm glad I'm here in the spot I'm in now, but a year ago, I was just getting settled into a new church, and meeting some amazing people, I was finding out what trusting someone felt like. I was learning to be confidant in myself again, and I was learning to love again.

Yes that was me a year ago, but this is me now! I've become VERY confidant in myself, and I'm comfortable in my own skin. I've learned to trust some amazing people in my life, and I've learned that people make mistakes...a lot! They say the wrong thing, or I say the wrong thing, They mess up, and forgiveness is given. I didn't realize that forgiveness would feel so amazing. I've also realized that I adore smiles.

I've learned to not be so scared of bugs...but I'm still VERY fearful of snakes. I've yet to meet one, but if I ever do...I'll scream!

This is me. This is the girl behind the glasses.

I'm not scared to speak my mind, and I've learned that not everyone in life is going to like me, and I'm okay with that. I'm beautiful in my own skin, I don't need to look like a supermodel to be beautiful. I'm me.

--I'm stubborn. I've learned that this past year also. I've also been told it many times. And I'm okay with that. ;) I stick to what I believe is right, and I don't let people trample over me.

Well, I didn't know I would be writing about all this is this one blog, when all I had on my mind was Fall. But now, once again my mind is everywhere. Hope you all enjoyed this blog by me, Grace. :)

Go outside, enjoy this beautiful weather Our Heavenly Daddy has given us. Spend the evening with Him.

Happy Fall!

I'll be there waiting.

This is a girl that has a strong belief in love.

So tonight in my small town, it's a Star-less night, along with no Moon to be seen. Yeah, I'm kinda bummed. But tonight while sitting outside, I realized just how beautiful God's world is even without the Stars or Moon. It was still incredible. I was still overwhelmed that I get the privilege to be able to live in this world. He created this world for me, so I could enjoy it all day, every day.

--Now, I do wish that tonight I had the man I love standing by my side. But at the moment he's no where to be found...as far as I know. Do you ever get excited to think about the day God brings "the one" into your life? Of what he (or she) will look like? Of how you'll meet them? or if you've already seen them before but never knew you'd meet again years later and they would be the one you love for the rest of your life? Isn't it crazy how God works? It's crazy but amazing!

I know that the day God reveals My Love to me, will be an amazing day. I long for that day. I dream of that day. I'm waiting for that day.

...Never give up believing that there is such a thing as a "Prince." He may not come up on a white horse, or live in a Castle, but in your eyes he'll be better than a Prince. He'll be everything and more. Remember, there will be days that are harder than others, but in the end God knows your ending. He knows when that perfect man will walk into your life and sweep you off you feet. He knows it all. Let Him have the privilege of writing the best story of your life for you. He wants to have the honors.

Well this is a short blog for the night, but Sweetheart, I'll be waiting at the end of this crazy journey for you.

Sometimes you don't have to have a lot on your mind to write, sometimes it's the littlest things that speak the biggest words.

Things that inspire me.

Hello, I'm the girl that believes in the broken.

-Yes, I'm writing twice in one day...shocker right?!

I want to share some things that have inspired me, made me cry, and made me laugh. I just want to share my loves with you for a bit.

1. I'm a big fan of spur of the moment road trips or anything of that sort.

2. I believe that love can inspire you.

3. I want to be given Pink Roses someday. They are the prettiest flower in my opinion.

4. I want to write my own wedding vows for the day I get married.

5. I'm a sucker for romance movies.

6. I believe in love at first sight.

7. I'm not a huge fan of motorcycles but I'm learning to love them.

8. I've become addicted to White Chocolate Mocha's.

9. My favorite song has become, "God Gave Me You." By Dave Barnes.

10. I know that God writes the best Love Stories.

11. I de-clutter and rearrange my room way too much.

12. I want to travel the world with My Love someday.

13. I have pink converse.

14. I have very messy hair, and I'm a huge fan of it.

--these are just a few of my favorite things.

I believe that there are things that just simply make you happy in life. And that there are times you need to sit down and look at the little details of your life. After all, the littlest things are the best things. :)

What are you living for? Are you living for the day the cute guy next to you finally notices you? Or when you finally find your purpose in life? Are you waiting for the day you are finally excepted by your friends?

...Or are you living this crazy life of yours for God? I hope so.

I want you to know that NO ONE is perfect, and everyone is prone to make mistakes, so don't feel like you've failed God when you make a mistake, because honestly that's what God expects from us. He expects us to fail, and mess up. That's why He's always waiting in the wings for us to begin to cry out to Him in fear, or sadness. He's ready to catch you. He's ready to love you like never before. Just some food for thought.

He's the light at the end of a dark tunnel.

Dreary and Wet Day.

Hi, I'm the girl that writes her heart in a blog.

Why is it that when it's a cloudy day, and it's wet and misty outside, I normally get inspired to write? I don't know, but I'm not complaining.

It's a beautiful day here in my small town, even with it being overcast. I love it! I love the beauty of my small town. I guess the reason why I love it so much is because I just went to Washington DC this past weekend, and it was SO busy and crowded that it made me love my small town so much more.

When you're writing in a blog are there ever times when you feel like you're talking to yourself? Like that there is no one listening? Well if there is anyone out there reading this...thank you first off! You're the people that inspire me to write.

Now off to sharing my heart. -God's changing me at the moment, He's changing me into the woman I need to be so I can be worthy of a man of my own someday. It's a hard journey, but something a friend of mine has said to me for a while is, "if the journey was easy, then were would the adventure be?" I believe that to be true. I know that I'm glad it's not a easy road I'm taking because then I wouldn't learn anything on this journey and I'd be the same girl in the end that doesn't know squat right now.

I'm learning. I'm loving. I'm forgiving. And I'm trusting.

Question--Is there ever a time where you feel lost? Where you try to lean on some people, but they're no longer there for you? ...If so, I know how you feel. But I know one thing, God is always on my side. He's holding me up, when all I feel like doing is giving up. He's telling me to push a little longer, and strive to be the best in this crazy life of mine.

Well these are my thoughts for the day. My mind is tired, and everywhere today.

--Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day God has given us! :)

Season of letting my Heavenly Daddy work.

Hello to all you bloggers out there,

Life's pretty grand for me at the moment. I'm happy, and ready to see what God has planned for me in the near future.

---God's asked me to take a time where it's just me and Him. Where I follow after Him and He leads me and guides me. Where it's just me and Him. This journey isn't for me and my future spouse to take together, because as of right now, I haven't found him, so God is asking me to take this journey alone. At least for a little while, because you never actually stop learning from God, so there will come a time when I meet the Man I will forever love, and him and I will start out on a new journey...together as one.

-This journey though, is just for me and my Heavenly Daddy.

I'm ready to take this adventure, and to let God take control of my life. I'm not saying that this "season" is going to be easy, because in this season, I'm letting God take total control of my life. I'm letting Him do as he pleases, and I believe He's going to show me some amazing things. It'll be a time where it's just Him and I sitting outside under the stars, and we're taking in His beauty of this world.

This is a journey for just me and Him. He's asked me to come and follow Him, and I've turned Him down many times, but this time I'm taking hold of His hand and telling Him to take the lead. I don't know what will be waiting for me at the end of this journey but I know that God has it in the palm of His hand, and he's taking hold of my life. I'm precious to Him, and He's my Daddy.

I'm scared of this journey. I think there comes a time in everyone's life that they're scared, and it's my time to be scared. But guess what? My Heavenly Daddy is holding me again. I've missed that feeling. But that's how I know it's something that He wants, because He is guiding me. But I'm scared of the people I have to leave behind in this time of being "alone." I'm scared of what WILL be waiting for me at the end of this journey, and chapter of my life.

I know that if we delight ourselves in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our hearts, but for me to not have control over any of this, well that's hard for me. Because guess what? I normally take matters into my own hands, I'm not like a total control freak, but I don't like to feel helpless, and at the moment I feel that way, but for once God is telling me to just LET GO, and give Him the pen to my Love Story.

That's what I'm doing. It's gonna be hard, and there will be nights that I feel like giving up, but God has me and my future in the palm of His hand, and I have to just TRUST in Him.

--I wanna say something though, it's alright to be scared, and it's alright to feel like giving up at some points, because when that time comes, it's a time for God to show just how AMAZING He really is. And it's the best outcome you could ever ask for. :)

...Well this is my blog entry for the night. Hope you all enjoyed!

It's my heart, you all are just deciding to let me share about it. =)

What is love?

I feel like I'm trying to beat a record with how long of a gap I can have between every blog entry..But I'm trying to write more often right now because a lot is going on inside my crazy head, and I want to share it with all of you. :) Hope that's okay?

First off, my Brother just got married on August 14th, and now I have a new sister..woot!

Anyways, I'm sure you all are wondering what I'll write about, when the title is named that... ;) So I've been wondering lately, what love really is. There are many different kinds to it, and it's given to many people in many ways.

Love is romantic.
Love is captivating.
Love is happiness.
Love is irritating.
Love is priceless.
Love is endearing.
Love is everlasting.
Love is holding hands in the middle of a rain storm.
Love is getting mad.
Love is worth waiting for.
Love is friendship.
Love is kind.
Love is incredible.
Love is always saying sorry.
Love is smiles.
Love is encouraging.
Love is being yourself.
Love is worth fighting for.

---
Love is many different things, you can be mad at someone and then 5 minutes later you're looking at them and realizing how special they are to you.

In my eyes, love is being able to be just who you are with that person. Not having to change, and loving who you are.

Then there is the thought that runs through my head often...Love is worth waiting for. Love is not always found so easily, it's in the deepest parts of your heart. It's hidden, and if you think it through enough, it's hidden deep in Our Heavenly Daddy! It's not always easy to hide yourself, and cling to Daddy (God) instead of someone that is standing right in front of you, and there to comfort you. But letting Daddy (God) in is the greatest thing you could ever do, because with that comes the greatest reward!

Love is priceless. It truly is. It's not easily found as I've said, but once you have it, you realize that it could never be bought, because no money can fill the void of love. Either from of family member, or from Our Daddy (God) or from the one you truly love as in a boyfriend, or girlfriend, or husband or wife.

Love is irritating. I'll agree to that in many different ways. You have your family that you love with all your heart, and would do anything for, but they get annoying, but then 5 minutes later you love them all the same. It's the great joys of family.

Love is the greatest reward God could ever give us. The time will come for everyone. You have to wait though, because not everyone finds love in the same places or at the same time. It's longed for, and waited for. It's cherished, and held on to once it's found.

Love is believing.
