I imagine falling in love to be like a folk song...

I imagine falling in love to be like an indie folk song.
A beautiful start with a steady build.
Our love will be like poetry that can only be sung in a song.
It will be uniquely our own - the beat, the rhythm, and the subtle harmonies that create a special melody.

Sure, I have had my moment in the past.
But looking back, there seem to be more obstacles than gentle tunes to look forward to singing.
I want the sounds of a harp, not the fight of making something happen.

Never settle on momentary whims or fits of passion.
I think when we know, we really know.
The notes will play with ease and the hum will be our safe place.
You know, that hum we all sing to ourselves when no one is really listening.
That will be the place we meet.

I imagine falling in love, in the kind of love that will last forever, to be like those moments with your best friend where you just look at each other and you cannot stop laughing.
Like the moments or pure joy and delight in life where you're happy to be living.

I imagine falling in love to be like reading your favorite book, wrapped up in every word and every new page that turns.
It will be like those moments you have to look forward to where you just stop and get lost in the adventure.

I imagine falling in love as the greatest adventure you'll ever find yourself exploring.

Well, this was unexpected…

It happened. SO unexpectedly.
I have submitted my application to become a C3 Intern in just 3 short months.
The 12 months of that program is going to blow my mind - I can feel it.
I never thought God would ask me to do this - to join another program like this.
But it's not just another program.
For me, this is a pivotal, life changing, future altering decision.
This is so connected to my calling and the crazy ways God has transformed and flipped my life upside down in the past year.

I am so expectant and excited.
I am also nervous and feel like because I don't know what any outcome will be, a bit anxious.
God, help me to do the best I have ever done, learn more than I ever have, and expand myself more than ever.
I want to be a crazy blessing and operate in a capacity I wasn't sure I could ever be at.

This is a time for healing and redemption.
This is a time to prove to myself that with God, I am capable.
This is a time to prove to me that all the lies spoken over me were never really true.

My head is spinning.
I cannot even compartmentalize my brain well enough to eloquently write a decent blog post.
More to come soon and hopefully in a better fashion.
I just could not contain myself...
