Endings.

Youth and Government State conference was this weekend!!

Three days of debating (lobbying) in the actual Texas capitol! I've done this for the past three years, but this year was different. This year, I was a lobbyist, as opposed to a representative or senator. This year, I roomed with three of the most wonderful people on the world, who supported and encouraged me throughout the weekend. This year, I felt relaxed and at ease throughout the weekend, as opposed to rushed and harried. This year I got to enjoy the whole thing with the love of my life.
It was absolutely splendid! From exploring Austin on our way in:

to exploring it while there, to exploring it on our way out, the weekend was fantastic. I am so blessed :)

Acquire the Fire 2012! What an incredible, God filled weekend. The theme was 'Normal's Not Enough'... and glorious surrender.
Psalm 37: 3-8 says "Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. Be still before the LORD
and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil. "
 What your heart focuses on is what you go towards. -if your heart is focusing on the things of this world, that's what your life will center upon. But if you focus your heart on God, He will fill you with HIS desires, and His will will be done in your life! :)

It was lovely being able to spend the weekend with these crazies; the people I am closest to in the world (with a few noticeable missing ones :( ) Being able to worship with them was absolutely amazing. The Lord is so good! :)

And I got to see this face a lot. Which was pretty darn great. <3 :) 

My love gave me this flower before he left for the week. He left it on my porch with the sweetest note. It's the little things. <3

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Hello my darling little love, and how are you? , I ask.
I find that it's just slightly hard for me to stay on task.

Your face invades my every dream, both waking and asleep,
and though I know you are the same, this silence you still keep.

Why, my love, do you not search these eyes, so unlike yours?
You cause me to spend every moment fighting silent wars

Do I love you more than you so very much love me?
And, if so, how is that wrong? what horror would that be?

I do not doubt the way you feel, the words you softly speak.
I fear the way your actions fall, opposed to how I think.
