I'm not perfect. But His love is.

All I have


Isn't it interesting how when we look at others it seems like their life is so full and rich and lovely?? How often do we see the same things within ourselves??


Maybe I'm the only person trippin' but it really always seems like the grass is greener on the other side. Like everyone else has a secret to life I have yet to discover. All the family and friends and parties and social lives and extra curriculars and exercise and good health and good hair and good jobs and good food.


So I'm sitting here on my bed looking at all the wonderful things everyone else has going on and I look at a photo of me and Floyd and say, "All I have is you," as if I was given a short end of some life stick. But I catch myself and come to my senses. In the midst of life, those simple meaningful things are all that really matter because it gives the voice of God more room to direct minus all the clutter and baggage. I heard someone say the other day that only 90% of your decisions in life really matter. And in regards to the things that really matter, I made the right decisions. So all that excess means nothing if the basis of my life aren't secure. I have. I lack nothing but good sense. And I'll get some of that, Lord willing. I am blessed beyond measure. Loved beyond measure. My life will NEVER look like the ones around me. And once I come to my good senses and realize that, things will be so much easier...



All I have is you.

All I have is me.

How can I be full

But still so empty?

Caught in a whirlwind

But yet still lonely...

Took my eyes off the prize

And started feeling blue

But looked into His heart

Love began to shine through

All I have is truth

All I have is peace

All I have is eternal life and life abundantly

All I have is me

All I have is you

And that's more than

Enough

A journey, not a destination

Being on a love journey is not an easy thing. It seems like it should be second nature to love, but love is not simple. It's complex and it requires a risk of everything. Past, present and future. And you can't love everybody the same. But in learning to love God, I learn to love me, and loving others becomes so much easier. I am so blessed to be on this journey with a man that loves God and is willing to grow in love. Because, just as our life together is a journey, so is our love. And that love is grounded in Jesus Christ. So welcome aboard the love boat. I invite you to come along for the journey as I prepare to become a bride for my bridegroom...
