loveadinfinitum:
Where everything’s chaotic.
But then for a peaceful second,
The lighting is right,
The music ripples through you,
The talking bustling blurs around you aren’t noisy anymore,
And laughter is suddenly a soundtrack.
And you stop and close your eyes,
And a smile erupts because everything’s okay,
And you know it always will be,
Because this moment contains all moments.
...
Note to self: When I [Lord willing] get married and have kids, I want my home to be filled with love. And laughter. And giggles.
I want it to be filled with history. I want the rich voices and joyful laughter of visitors to ring loudly. I want the scents of Christmas cookies and Thanksgiving pumpkin pie to fill up the whole house. I want the sounds of piano playing and the strumming of guitars...
You love me because You love me, because You love me, because You love me.
You don’t need a reason.
You just do.
Father, the depth of Your love is overwhelming.
I am in awe of Your faithfulness.

I want my life to be a “vivid, powerful testimony to the truth that God can and does use weak, sick, discouraged, beat-down, lonely, struggling saints, who cry to him day and night, to accomplish amazing things for His glory.”
Hosanna!
He is jealous for me…loves like a hurricane. I am a tree, bending beneath the weight of His mercy.

All I know is that somewhere in a clearing (somewhere) There’s a grain of sunlight on a river long and wide And I have such a river inside! Let me run through a field in the night, Let me lift from the ground til my soul is in flight, Let me sway (let me sway) like the shade of a tree. Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea! Wish me on my way! (wish me on my way) Through the...

A pearl to ponder upon:
“A woman who fears the Lord will not run away from God to satisfy her longings and relieve her anxieties. She will wait for the Lord. She will hope in God. She will stay close to the heart of God and trust in His promises. The prospect of departing into the way of sin will be too fearful to pursue; and the benefits of abiding in the shadow of the Almighty too...

Two things you told me:
That You are strong…and You love me.
Yes, You love me.
Your love is, Your love is, Your love is strong.
Your love is, Your love is, Your love is strong.
Your love is, Your love is, Your love is STRONG.
I pray because I can’t help myself. I pray because I’m helpless. I pray because...
