Shameless

Dear boyfriends of the world. Would you like to know a sure fire way to make your girlfriend think you are the best boy in the whole wide world? Here are step-by-step instructions:

1. Find the full version of Garth Brook's "Shameless"
2. Learn all the words to said song
3. Play the song nonchalantly while your girlfriend is around. It can be in the house, in the car, wherever.
4. Sing the entire song like it was written from you to her. Look at her, be dramatic, sing your heart out.
5. Watch her swoon.
6. Kiss her.

The end.
It's fool proof.

Lately I feel like the Lord is teaching me SO much. I almost feel overwhelmed with everything I am learning and remembering these days.

It's so funny to me how there can be times of "drought" and then you pray for a renewal and all of a sudden you get a downpour!

I am absolutely loving it. I feel so close to Him. I feel him guiding me and I find myself reacting or saying things that without his Spirit I would never say or do. It's so neat to see HIS love and words come out of you, it even catches you off guard sometimes.

 I hope I can get it all down. To write and write and remember all the things he is sweetly and powerfully teaching me, whispering to me, and calling me to.

There are scary moments in times like this. Moments where you know you cannot say the same. Moments where he trusts you with something you're not sure you can handle (but then you remember He doesn't expect you to handle it on your own anyway). But what is life without a little fear right? If nothing in your life scares you then how fully are you truly living?

That might have been a whole lot of random thoughts that don't flow together at all. If it was, I apologize. Like I said, I have a lot going on in this little mind of mine and that could mean things like making sense and forming correct sentences might go out the window.

The end. Amen.

MIchigan

Our weekend in Michigan was just wonderful. We spent our time hanging with Steve's parents, meeting old friends, celebrating family and love, and strolling along the beach. Every time I visit Michigan I like it more and more. Before I met Steve I thought of Michigan as a great white tundra where hardly anyone lived and no one talked about. Now when I think of it I think of familiar faces, beautiful landscape, huge lakes, falling snow and the home where my love grew up. Here are some pictures of our time.
