Jesus is totally romancing me. He is wooing me and overwhelming me with his sweetness; like thick honey covering my entire body. His love is so pure and genuine... so real and so beautiful. It truly brings the most ginormous smile leap onto my face and soon that little chuckle follows, which turns into pure laughter and joy from just the whisper of a touch of his breath. Nothing can compare to the outpouring of love that I feel pressed up against me. I will never walk away from him. I promise. The sun can get covered up by fluffy cotton candy clouds or dark and gloomy clouds, but there will always be a sun that peaks out again; it never left, it was just covered up. God's love is that; always there. It never leaves, because he never leaves. Ever. Jesus truly never ever leaves, it's us that decides to walk or drift or even run away. I will never leave him, because he has never left me - and already pinky-promised to never leave me. He will never break that promise, so how could I? He has written the most stunning love song to each of us and I never will stop submersing in it; for the rest of the days of my life.

Jesus you are so beautiful. You're the most appealing sound to our ears, the sweetest touch. You're gaze is so piercing and immediately brings me to joy; a single gaze is all it takes. I can't even imagine how it will be when I begin to receive your words and hear what you have to say. I pray that you open up all of my senses so I can act as a vessel of your love. I thank you for the love you have submerged me in and can't wait to spend the rest of eternity praising and worshipping you; the most beautiful, awe striking, awesome God there ever has and ever will be. I am honored to be a child of yours, it brings me to tears to think of the love I know you have for each one of your children and couldn't be more proud to call you my Father. Jesus you are SO beautiful. Amen.

I am so excited for God! It's crazy to look back at these past few months to see how much I truly have grown since graduation, even. This journey seems to have started on the last day of school and although it's a shame that it took so long for me to get on the road, I'm all packed up and ready for the path He has already paved. It's all so appealing to me; the adventure, the promises, the joy, the peace. And I haven't even reached the fullness of those yet, I've only come to the realization that they're there ready to be discovered! What I have gotten to experience, however, is God's peace. At work, I have gotten into the habit of putting in my headphones and listening to worship music or podcast lectures and it places me on this diving board that I bounce up and down on with excitement and sprint off in a cannonball into the water; swimming in the Holy Spirit's presence. I'm so thankful for it. It's not like my day consists of profound situations and miracles in a normal sense, but in a different way it actually does. The stillness and peace of the Lord is as profound as it gets! With the help of others' knowledge and wisdom, I've grown to find out that the closest we can get to God is through His peace and our silence. I'm peeking out from below the dirt and discovering this humongous world that I never knew even existed... it's the most exciting time of my life and I know it (along with my relationship with God) will continue to grow and grow and never stop growing.
