Saved Dreamer
December 2011
To My Future Husband:
I have just discovered that waiting and being patient are not the same things. While I wait for you, I will try to remember that “it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” I will try to be happy and content and joyful instead of pine or be envious. I pray that God can help you to be patient too.
“When we place God in His rightful place in our lives, we don’t struggle so much when human relationships let us down. In direct contrast, when we make another human our idol, God can’t be our God.”
—Joshua Harris (via set-apartgirl)
I'm so horrible at stopping myself from imagining things as more than they are but this time I am going to use some self control and God power and trust that He has my back. He will not let me crumble and he knows what is best!
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
—Philippians 4:8 (via abcjen)
“Often a Christian man or woman falls prey to that cruel and vexatious spirit, wondering how to find marriage, who, when, where? It is on God that we should wait, as a waiter waits - not for but on the customer - alert, watchful, attentive, with no agenda of his own, ready to do whatever is wanted. “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.” (Ps. 62:5 KJV) In Him alone lie our security, our confidence, our trust. A spirit of restlessness and resistance can never wait, but one who believes he is loved with an everlasting love, and knows that underneath are the everlasting arms, will find strength and peace.”
—Elisabeth Elliot (Quest for Love: True Stories of Passion and Purity)
The first time You opened Your eyes, did You realize that you would be my Savior? And with the first breath that left Your lips, did You know that it would change this world forever? And I, I celebrate the day that You were born to die so I could one day pray for You to save my life.
This is Christmas!

“God is always seeking you. Every sunset. Every clear blue sky. Each ocean wave. The starry hosts of night. He blankets each new day with the invitation, ‘I am here’.”
—Louie Giglio (via ajstorytellers)
I remember my mom and I were looking at a sunset one night while…
“You will know me and you will find me where the boldness of Esther meets the warm, closeness of Ruth. Where the hospitality of Lydia is in line with the submission of Mary, which is engulfed in the tears of a praying Hannah. I will be the one drenched in Proverbs 31 waiting for you.”
