About Me

I am deeply in love with my Savior, Jesus Christ. Words fall short... and as do I.

My Interests

faith, befriending a new book, crooked teeth, cold noses, shy feet, willow trees, friendly bugs, streams of sunlight, rosey cheeks, scars with stories to tell, a knowing hello from a perfect stranger, firm handshakes, proudly earned bruises, spider webs, fireflies, cotton fields, fireflies in cotton fields, photogenic towns, cloud animals, naked trees, toe cleavage, talk radio, lipstick stains, soulful voices, crows feet, secretly loving awkward moments, class & chivalry, the sound of the violin, the musky scent of antique shops, tea parties, mix cd's, spilling my heart onto pieces of paper, reading until my eyes grow weary, whimsical imaginations, wide eyes, humble hearts, patience, daisies, freckles, holding hands, anticipating my husband, capturing moments on film, letting moments go uncaptured, hearts ingraved into sidewalks, people who can wink, people who can't wink, dancing around my house to kirk franklin songs, the comfort of my mothers laugh, literature, pillow talk, righteousness without an audience, bells ringing and tea kettles whistling, sunsets in my rearview mirror, reflections of raindrops, smiling eyes, birth marks, bashful smirks, dancing clouds, breathless heartbeats, unrelated socks, traffic, the first breath of newly opened cans of coffee, the fleeting warmth of freshly dried towels, borrowing things, intricacy, blustery winds and rumbling thunder, stories told with enthusiasm and hand gestures, perfectly perfect quirks, looking through the eye glasses of folks in front of me, chimneys, windmills, anthills, shadow puppets, making lists for a false sense of accomplishment

I watched a film last night called American Beauty. The film itself was another world to me, but I found myself deeply relating to Ricky - a boy who was a bit misunderstood by most. To those who coul...

Too often I find myself wishing

A fleeting sort of feeling.

You know that feeling that comes over you while watching a certain film, or listening to a certain song... the kind that make you cry tears of joy, tears of hope, regret, conviction... the kind that...
