Love Collage :)

Love Letter from God.

My Beloved,
All beautiful you are my darling; there is no flaw in you. Like a lily among the thorns are you, my darling, among the maidens. I know that you don't feel this is true of yourself, but this is how I see you, and that is truer than your feelings. Don't you know how precious you are to me? I don't think you do. It grieves my heart that you don't know how much I love you. One day you will know when you see me face to face, when I will wipe away every tear from your eye. Then you shall know no more sorrows or pain. I can't wait until we are together like that.

You are the apple of my eye, and I take great delight in you. You bring me great joy, and I burst out singing over you. My love for you is deep and intimate. I have searched for you and know you. I know when you sit and when you rise; I perceive your thoughts for afar. I discern your going out and your lying down; I am familiar with all your ways. Nothing you can do, Beloved, can surprise me. Before a word is on your tongue, I know it completely. I know you better than you know you know yourself, and I love and accept you. I will never leave you. I will never forsake you. There is nothing you can do to chase me way. My love for you is passionate and mad without reason.

Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but because you fear me, you are to be praised. Only delight yourself, and I will give your hearts desires. I promise I will bless you, and as a result all the ends of the earth will fear me. Place your hope in me, my precious one, for you will not be disappointed. You cannot imagine or even conceive what I have prepared for you because you love me. Oh, how I long to pour out upon you my grace and compassion.

My sweet child, when you are hurting, I will surely comfort you. Ask me for my guidance; for I will direct you in the way you should go. Do not worry about your future, for I know the plans I have for you. I have plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a future.

All this I do for you, my Beloved, and more because I love you. Please receive my love. I want so desperately for you to know it. I gave you my greatest gift, my son, to show it. What more can I do? You are my love.

I love you with all my heart,
Your loving and admiring Father

Walking In The Light


"If we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin."
1 John 1:7




Imagine going to heaven, where God lovingly shows you His plan for your life. It begins with the day you are born. And once you received Christ as Savior, every day that follows is outlined in red.

On many of those days; two sets of footprints appear. You inquire: "Father, are those my footprints every day, and is the second set of footprints when You joined me?"

He answers, "No, My precious child. The consistent footprints are Mine, going toward the destiny I planned for you, hoping you'd follow. The second set of footprints are when you joined Me."

Me to a Tee


"Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you've never been hurt and live like it's heaven on Earth."


This is my official first blog and I thought that the best thing to do is to let you in on the real me. I want you to know what I am all about and know me from the inside out.
I ♥
BEN! :) Rain. Jumping in puddles. Thunderstorms. Warm summer nights. Children- they have pure hearts and love unconditionally.My friends and family. They don't judge you, but take you for who you are. Photography. I am especially a sucker for black and white photos. A good book. Reading history books. History in general. Travel guides. People- red, yellow, black, and white. Walking on the beach. Sunsets that take your breath away. Warm sheets right out of the dryer! Getting dressed up to do nothing. Talking to complete strangers. Making someone's day. Helping people. Coloring books. A new box of crayola crayons. Play dough. Spending hours upon hours in the Kid's section at Barnes and Nobel. Gamecocks.Traveling. Picking strawberries. Daisies and tulips. Having my hair played with. Writing letters. Bon fires and making smores. Anything with coconut in it.Yum! Mexican food. Sushi. Shrimp Alfredo. Fall, when the leaves are changing and you just need a light jacket at night. Pearls. Polka dots. Being feminine. Pink. Green. Cooking. Dancing the night away. Painting pottery. Stuffed animals. Journals. Making chocolate chip cookies. Scrap booking. Letting my mind wander. Using my imagination. Sleepovers! Being romanced. Singing randomly! Inspiring quotes. When God reminds me how much he loves me by surprising me with little signs of His love when I least expect it, but am needing to be reminded the most!

Things that irk my tater:
Being late. Not being taken seriously. Onions. And mayo. (they're just gross!) When I am talking to someone and they aren't listening. Toilet seats being left up. Dirty dishes. People who are closed-minded and who are not cultured. When you are doing laundry and you have a sock that does not have a match :( Not being able to plan things in advance. Missing my friends back in South Cakalaky. Smoking. I am allergic. Cliques and people that are judgemental. Forgetting what page I was on in a book. Going to Panera in the morning and there aren't any souffles left. Getting in arguements with people. Getting lost. Kraft Mac and Cheese. When my camera battery dies. It always happens when you need your camera the most. When you tear out a page in a coloring book and the page rips. Not being able to find my keys. Running in the neighborhood and the neighbor's dog is outside and chases you for a half-mile!

I am 20 years old and live in Jefferson, GA. I will be transferring to Mercer University in the fall as long as I pass the pt test and weight requirements for a full-ride ROTC scholarship, so I am working my butt off and want this more than anything! And this is all that I am focusing on at the moment and can't wait to overcome this obstacle. I will be a sophomore in the fall and am majoring in History and will be getting my certification in secondary education so I will be able to teach History in any grade level 6th-12th grade.

I am dating a wonderful guy named Ben Smith and he has been nothing but amazing! He is my best friend but is also the love of my life! I could not be any happier. He brings out the best in me and makes me feel like the woman that God created me to be. I am blessed to have him in my life.

There have been a lot of changes going on in my life, especially since January. I moved over here to GA to live with my family and to finish up school here. My family wanted me to be closer to them and overall, it has been a good choice to move over here. I do miss all my friends back in South Caroling though. I miss Meagan, Matt, Jessica Ream, Ruth, Meredith C., Lauren, Nick, and everyone else! I feel like a big part of my heart is missing! I really wish that I would have kept in touch with them better since January and I feel that it is my fault that I feel like I am not part of their lives anymore. But I also know that once a person moves, then that hinders relationships as well. I do hope that this all changes and that I can keep better in touch with these people in the future. I miss you all and am blessed to know you.
