The big heroes of the Bible were never praised for finding their wives or husbands. They were praised for their faith in God.

Your end goal is not to find your soulmate. Your end goal is to find God.

One day you’ll wake up and you’ll be so glad you didn’t settle for just anything, and you chose to wait on God’s plan.

Loving people like Jesus would is never a mistake.

I’m scared

I am learning

To trust His heart

With each step

I take

Because I know

That it is a good

And pure heart

And that He

Is a good

And loving Father

Consequences of love.

the more I reflect, the more I begin to hate myself why did I open my heart so widely why did I care so strongly why did I feel so intensely why did I hurt so much why did I try so hard why did I act so vulnerably  why did I cry so easily   why did I give so freely why did I fight so fiercely why did I love so deeply

I gave, I gave, and I gave I gave Until there was nothing left to give I gave Until there was nothing left of me

And for once, I begged God, I begged you to give me, anything anything you had left inside of you Please, show me something anything anything anything, at all

and all I received from you was heart wrenching words “I’m sorry.” “I can’t.” “There’s nothing I can do.”

We promised to invest 150% We promised to give our all We promised to fight We promised to be a team We promised to try

Why did you enter my life so carelessely  If it was going to be this easy for you to walk away Why did I spend a year of intentionally breaking down my walls If you were going to say goodbye in a matter of seconds Why did I give myself away If all you were going to do was take and run away ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– and I can’t even begin hate you, because I promised my God to love the next person openly, fiercely, deeply, unfearfully, wholeheartedly, just as He loves me

“my first mistake was dropping everything whenever you called my second was blaming it on you when it was my fault my third is still thinking about it when you’ve gone”

“If they don’t talk now, the scar will only harden over time, it will calcify, and then they’ll be like strangers who never loved each other, which is the saddest thought of all.”

“you hurt me to be happy so i’d really like to think you are. (and if you aren’t – if you hurt me and you’re still not happy – I hope you are soon.)”

Silence.

For the first time, I was okay with the silence between us I accepted the silence Rather than confrontation because at least the silence allowed me to be with you for a little longer Confrontation was only leading us to the reality of Goodbye

Fourth time.

I hurt you once I hurt you twice I hurt you three times

You forgive me once You forgive me twice You forgive me three times

How many times must I break How many times must you make the same mistake How many times must you choose to walk away

Before you can see the cracks in my deteriorating heart Before you can see my constant grace Before you can see I am the one for you

I cry once I cry twice I cry three times

You hold me once You hold me twice You hold me three times

Why are you still with me Why are you still constantly pouring grace onto me Why are you still choosing to stay

Because I like you Because I want to be with you Because I have faith in you

Until I hurt you again for the fourth time Will you forgive me again for the fourth time? When I cry again for  the fourth time Will you hold me again for the fourth time?

“It’s normal,” I whispered. “That’s just the way love works. Someone will always love the other more. I will always love you more than you love me.” “That’s not-” he started.  “No, listen.” I said. “I know how you feel about me. You said I put the stars in your eyes. And - ” I paused, unsure of what to say next. “I do love you.” He said after a beat of silence. My head rested on his shoulder. The sound of his breath was soothing, familiar.  “I might be your star,” I sighed, “but for me? You are my whole universe.”

i yearn and yearn  for you, for more, for anything, at all  but why do i always seem to forget  you can’t make someone care,  you can’t make someone feel anything,  you can’t make someone do anything,  you can’t make someone love you  i can’t make you  love me.

““Life is meant to be shared,” I said. “And I get to choose who I share it with.” “I get that, I really do,” he said. “But you’re not the only person here with a choice. As much as you get to decide who to share your life with, I get to make that same choice.” He paused. “And I chose you, every time. Every damn time. And you never chose me. Not once.””

Someone wanna go with me on a long train ride through France and Italy and stop at little cafés and eat at corner restaurants and spend our nights drinking on the balcony of our hotel room?
