Words

Sometimes, something happens to you and you have so many feelings and emotions overwhelming you, yet somehow you have no words. You feel like there is so much that you could say, yet you don't know where or how to begin saying it. You feel powerless without the use of your words. And you feel even more powerless knowing that even if you could find the words to speak, it still wouldn't change your situation at all, no matter how much you wanted it to.

Train

These are just the lyrics to an adorable song that I love. It's called "Marry Me" by Train. If you haven't listened, listen!

Forever can never be long enough for me
Feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do

Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry Me
Today and every day
Marry Me
If I ever get the nerve to say
Hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm

Together can never be close enough for me
Feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love
And you're beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally shown her my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm

Promise me
You'll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to
Sing to you
When all the music dies

And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Marry me
Mm-hmm

Summer

Late nights.
Beach days.
Tan lines.
Part-time jobs.
Carefree times.
Permanent weekend.
Good times had.
Memories Made.


Ready for summer '11. <3

What to do?

What do you say when you have no words? What do you feel when you have no emotion? How can you express what you cannot find? How can you find answers if you have no questions? Can you make sense when you have no point?

Love Gives Me Hope

Okay so today, my friend showed me this site: http://love.givesmehope.com It's so cute! Definitely a must-read. I've just started reading it, but one of my favorite posts so far is this:

In 6th grade, I had a crush on a 8th grader who didnt even know I was alive.

He moved away when I was in 7th grade.

On his Facebook page everyone was saying goodbye notes.

I wrote Bye Max.

I was in the library in 10th grade and I felt a poke on my shoulder, looked up and heard someone say I'm back.

We got married last month. Little notes GMH.

Like I said, must read. Gotta love those mushy-gushy feelings(:

Encouragement?

This weekend, I got majorly encouraged.

I got the opportunity to go with some of my youth group to WinterJam- a concert of a bunch of Christian bands. At first, I wasn't super into it. I was tired and kind of had a headache. But then, we had a speaker who was phenomenal. He shared his story of abandonment, of heartache, and something everyone can relate to: pain. It was very moving. Then he shared about one simple word that is very difficult for many of us. Forgiveness. This is when everything started hitting home for me. I realized that although I've tried to forgive, I haven't. I've held onto bitterness in my heart. But the song that really brought it home to me was Chris August's song 7 times 70. Here's the link to listen to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITh9IH1p-ME By the end of this song, I was in tears. I knew that I had to forgive.

So here's the start of my journey to forgive. And more importantly, my journey of needing to be forgiven. Will you join me?

Where you at?

"I'm about to lose my mind/ You've been gone for so long/ I'm running out of time/ I need a doctor/ Call me a doctor/ I need a doctor, doctor/ To bring me back to life."

Distance makes the heart grow fonder?
No, distance makes the heart grow colder.
Nobody wants to be far from those they love.
To feel stranded and left alone.
So I'm supposed to believe I'm never alone?
Such a difficult thing to do, yet it's gotten me this far.

...So why should I think that this time will be any different?
