Puddle Time!!

Tonight I ran around in the rain with one of my greatest friends Taylor. We splashed in puddles, laughed and jumped in the rain and just had a blast. I love the rain but sadly, most of the time I don't take the time to go out and enjoy it. I have taken to stopping and enjoying the little moments recently. I don't know when it started, but I quite like it. It's nice to enjoy the quiet and beauty that God has given us. I hope and pray that I don't stop doing this as the years go by. I want to be able to enjoy that little things every day of my life. I hope that I can be inspired by the little things and that I can inspire others with the little things in my life. 

Oh and I get to wake up early to call my dad in the morning... it's his birthday!!! 

I am...

Frustrated
Stressed
Exhausted

And praying for peace...

What more can I say other than, this is beautiful. Listen. And be blessed.

This speaks to me...

"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering." Hebrews 2: 9-10

Prairie Dreams

A wide expanse of sky

Before me, behind me, beside me

Alone on this ridge

Alone in this vast space

Alone, but not lonely

I feel the breeze caress my face

The sun smiling its warmth on

My face, my arms, my body

The tall grass brushes against my jean clad legs

In a dance, a tango with the wind

Upon the wind is a faint scent of flowers

The flowers among the grass

Are being visited by buzzing bees and butterflies

A huge old oak down the hill

Spreads its gracious branches

The shade beckons, calling me to lie beneath

Its limbs to share the space with

The birds and squirrels enjoying its open arms

The clouds to my left are growing

Dark and heavy with wonderful rain

The smell of wet earth will soon be here

Comforting and beautiful

There is a distant ringing

Pulling me, leading me away from this prairie

It is time to wake up and go

Prairie dreams will stay here

In my dreams, in my memories

Time no longer standing still

But marching its continuous march

Trust Me...
