Just out of reach

"A woman who is full of tender mercy and soft vulnerability is a powerful, lovely woman." (Captivating)


I know the woman I want to be. I know what my dreams are.


They only seem so far away...I don't quite know how to reach them...I haven't found the things I need to give up...or perhaps I have and am denying what I know to be true.


And I can hear Him. He's calling me...


But again...I just can't quite get to Him.

I am P.U.S.H ing...."Praying Until Something Happens" ...because that's all I know to do right now.

know that I'm yours to keep

While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep

Summer is here. Suddenly I am overwhelmed with the freedom of time, I miss my scheduled and hurried days. I have many dreams for this summer...I call them my "sandcastle dreams". walks. fresh fruit. summer tan. poolside days. China. anthropologie dresses. late conversations with sisters. laughing till tears. camping. family. new realizations. devoted time. hope.

.........................................................................................................................................................................
I know that if I lived my whole life with only you, I would be completely satisfied.

Jesus, more than my provider, my very sustainer.

you alone give my dreams meaning.
