Just ran a mile with my boyfriend without stopping.
This is the girl who got 10 minute miles in high school.
He is my new lucky charm.
Some people fall in love with physical traits: flawless skin, white teeth, long hair, a skinny body, and a beautiful face. I, on the other hand, fall in love with how people see the world. I think there is nothing that separates a person more than their outlook on life. I could listen for hours about how someone navigates through life or describes the world through their eyes.
For You, I sing, I dance, I rejoice in this divine romance.
Was I Wrong About Dream Girls? →

Someone very wise once told me that there are a million dream girls out there but not a million right girls. I’ve definitely found the right girl for me. I can list all the beautiful physical qualities about her, you know, the stuff that guys are usually drawn to first, but I’m growing more in love with the person that reads her bible next to me in the morning and prays through the alphabet with me. I know love isn’t just about spiritual disciplines, but it also isn’t about what you think you can get from that person. Maybe that’s what I was trying to say all along; let God bring someone to you, let him show you what love is, let him dream of someone for you. His dreams are a lot bigger than ours. Follow his dreams.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.
…O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
Psalm 51: 10-12, 15.
This is more important than pretty pictures and cute sayings that amount to nothing.
