I like to collect quotes and find words to describe what I think and feel but have trouble expressing. I'm a Christian. I live for God. I hope that people see that in my life and actions and words and deeds. I'd like to see the world, to meet someone who loves God first and me second, and I want to touch lives. I hope I can inspire and encourage you, and make you laugh with the things I enjoy :)

Love or Lust
My favorite part, from a comment that was made within this article, “what I always come back to is my favorite line from C.S. Lewis’ book, The Four Loves. When discussing friendship in distinction to Eros (erotic love) he says, “Eros will have naked bodies, friendship naked personalities.” I love that. When I think about a potential spouse, friendship is at the top of my list. This quote from Lewis reminds me that although attraction is important, it doesn’t beat friendship. As I reflect on this quote I conclude – to be frank – that there will always be a better naked body (esp as you grow old with your spouse), but naked personalities cannot be replaced. That’s the stuff that 4-5 decade marriages are made of. That’s what I want.”
Love that. THAT is what I want.

I picture myself in a pretty, white dress. Dancing and laughing and joyful in a field of flowers. Then I lost my innocence. The flowers died and my smile faded until it was completely gone. My dress was ripped and dirty until the white turned black. I lost my innocence. I gave it away. I’m sitting in the middle of the dead flowers, depressed and hopeless and dirty. Then, I notice Someone approach me. I look up at Him from my spot on the ground, but His face is too bright. His whole being is too bright; brighter than the sun. I sheild my eyes and see that His hand is reaching out to me. Should I take it? But He’s so clean and perfect and holy and I’m…not. But what could I possibly lose? I reach up and take His hand. He pulls me up and says, “Come now, let us settle the matter. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” [Isaiah 1:18 NIV] Then I notice something about His wrist. Without thinking, I reach out and touch the scar. I’m clean, because He has made me clean. I’m innocent because He has given me back my innocence. He has set me free. I’m holy because of what He did. For me. Tears blur my eyes as I fall to the ground at His feet. After awhile, He reaches for me again. We’re laughing and I’m spinning around and my heart is free, full of joy. Different than before. I know Joy. I know Love. I know Peace. I was dirty and lost and hurting. I know Freedom. I notice my dress is white again. No signs of stain or tear. The flowers are taller, brighter in color, more abundant. More tears fall, this time from joy. I dance with my Savior in worship and I live in peace knowing my past is forgotten. My slate is clean. My sin is forgiven. I have finally found where I belong; in the Presence of my Savior and King. In the Presence of Love Himself. I am clean.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0rlacnhSN1qe49wpo1_500.jpg)
