.: Our [souls] crave :.

I want to dance. I want music to enter my soul and come out in beautiful movements. I want to make the Lord smile.

I want to write a novel. I want my thoughts to escape me and fall onto the pages of a story waiting to be unraveled.

I want to be a photographer. I want to find little moments in time. I want to capture happiness, joy, pain, hunger, tears, hurt, & love in the face of people. I want time to stand still.

I want my family to know Jesus. I want them to know His love for them. I want them to know that though life can be hard, it could be forever beautiful and lovely if they know Jesus Christ.

I want to marry someone one day and have beautiful children. I want to share my life with my husband. I want to dream with him. I want to raise children who will know about God, so that they may spread His word.

I want happiness. I want joy. I want adventure. I want love. & I will forever want Jesus.

Road[trip]

Thursday – October 8, 2009

It’s a little after 8am & i’m exhausted because both of my roommmates decided to stay up late & talk as loud as possible (while hammering nails into a bedpost). Lovely, I tell you, just lovely.

Anyways, so I am heading out on the open road this morning. I am excited because taking roadtrips is truly my favorite thing !!! ….Well except waking up early, lack of sleep, & packing. ;)

There isn’t anything interesting happening at the moment, but I will keep everyone posted! (:

Friday – October 9, 2009

Well, we made it! & to our 4 months! *happiness* I can’t explain how happy I am! :D The whole family has been relaxing and having a GREAT time!…. Just laughing, joking, watching movies, coloring our hair (just the girls!) ;) , & eating wayy too much! Life is good!

You know… Finances are REALLY hard on me right now, but I am so veryy *blessed* for everyone that is in my life!! (: it reminds me not to worry about the little things!

Isn’t it lovely that God sees the BIG picture? God knows everything that has happened, that is happening, & that will happen in our lives. [I don't know about you, but that's pritty freakin cool!]

Well… That’s something to think about….

I’m ready for some Jambalaya now!! Yum, yum!

Pot. Holes.

Sometimes in life we drive down an old dirt road and along the way there are potholes and the more you keep driving, the more potholes there seem to be. Depending on the size of the pothole, we could fall in and just stay there until we finally pull ourselves out. (or) We can keep driving over the potholes… We can still feel them and it may jolt us, but we keep on moving. We don’t fall all the way in and stay in that dark hole.

That’s life. We drive. We hit potholes. Then we decide what to do with each pothole in our lives. Fall in and let the darkness consume you or realize it’s there and figure out how to stop driving over it.

Questions.

How would you define true faith?

What if every person in the world, gave up everything they had to follow Jesus? What if we spend our lives loving on the broken, and hurting, and lost? What would our world look like?

I believe that if we all truly lived for Jesus, there would be a movement of LOVE so incredibly unstoppable!!

So, I am not sureĀ about the rest of you, but…

I am blessed. Truly.
