I think I'm in love...

I would not have anticipated having the time (or energy) for another post so quickly, but I HAD to share this. I am in love (or at least I think I am)...

...with this song: Words Fall Through by Sam Heilig. OH MY GOODNESS, MY HEART HAS ABSOLUTELY MELTED INTO A PUDDLE ON THE FLOOR. I'VE LISTENED TO THIS ON REPEAT FOR ENTIRELY TOO LONG ALREADY. 

Seriously, this song has what I consider to be the sweetest and most sincere lyrics describing a girl the artist is in love with. I LOVE love, genuine and real in all its forms. I have had my little bouts of relationships and dating but haven't ever fallen in love (with the exception of Tim Tebow - holla at ya girl). However, I have seen it and I know how real, true and powerful it is when reflecting the greatest example of Love, Christ. I only hope that if and when I fall in love that the man who loves me sees me the way this song depicts, as a child of the King, a "princess", "carefree and dancing", "given a light that points to the Heavens". It's just perfect. 

To my Young Life girls, sisters, and friends - do not settle for the cheap love the world offers. You were made for so, so much more and your only true fulfillment can come from the One who made you and knows you. Do not settle for a man who views you as an object, a thing to be owned; be patient and wait. God knows the desires of your heart, and loves you too much to give you less than you deserve. What you want may not come in the way or timing that you think is right, but trust that God is sovereign and knows what you need (even if that means "no"). Seek the Lord. Wait for someone that loves you like Christ. 


"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight." -Proverbs 3:5-6


Words Fall Through

She's got a hold on the night
She's carefree and dancing
Under the streetlight
I had never seen grace
Like I did in her face
Captured in a smile
She's been given a light
That points to the Heavens
Up through the dark night
In a world that's so tired
She knows a hope
That's greater than gold
And I try to hide
How my tongue gets tied
At the very sight of her
What am I to do when
Words they fall right through
I'll just sing a melody
Pray that you'll hear me
She is a princess who hides
Her heart in a castle
For she is the bride
Of a King that loves her
Stronger than the ocean's tide
He has dressed her in white
Washed her with water
That purifies
She's an example
To the world of a captive
Who's been set free
And I try to hide
How my tongue gets tied
At the very sight of her
What am I to do when
Words they fall right through
I'll just sing a melody
Pray that you'll hear me
