(Suddenly I felt lead to connect several of my favorite songs from my childhood. I realize that some of the connections are a bit fuzzy. But I hope it can be deciphered. I also hope you enjoy it as much as I did. :))
I once was sad and lonely I felt so all alone until I asked the Lord to take control. Then the hand of Jesus touched me, and Now I am No longer the same. What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer. Hallelujah! What a Savior.
It was on a Sunday Somebody touched me. He touched me, He touched me. And O what joy that floods my soul. He gave me sweet contentment and said that I was free. I will never cease to praise him! I'll Shout it while eternity rolls. I'll fly away Oh Glory! Glory to God, I have a better place to go.
I once was blind but now I see. At the cross is where I first saw the light. I am so glad I learned to trust him.
Do you know my Jesus? Are you Needing a friend to save you in the end? Have you Heard He loves you? Jesus will forsake you never.

Continue in Love
Today is one of the days that I would love to be living at home instead of an hour away. Not only because I would like to be able to hang out with my boyfriend but also because I feel like this day is set apart as a day to be with everyone you love.
I realize that this holiday is based upon a really old dude that no one really knows anything about. I also realize that the cards, and candy hearts, and endless amount of Roses that are being given to others tonight was something that a head honcho of a large corporation came up with just for consumerism. (Wow! Why couldn't I think of that in my last class?! :))
But these items are not what this holiday represents in my life. I love the idea of an entire day set aside to constantly remember those you love.
So this is to:
William, the person God put on this Earth to be my support, friend, and hopefully maybe one day my husband.
To my Family that has been the constant love in my life.
To my true friends that I can count on a single hand.
To all of you. Yes I love every single one of you.
This is also one of those days where I long to visit with Jesus! How could there be a better way to celebrate a day dedicated to love than with the man who displayed the ultimate type of love. It's on a day like this that I reminded of the purpose God has given me. I have a longing to go sit outside on this wonderfully perfect day and read the ultimate love story. And most importantly to PUT THIS STORY INTO ACTION!
Happy love day!

He is ever just the same.
What do you say about a person that has such an important role in your life?
Bonnie Leola Williams was one of the most important women in my life. She was my Great Aunt but that sounds too distant. She wasn't just my grandmother's sister, she was also my friend, mentor, and inspiration. Does it seem strange that two people who are 70 years apart in age would have this type of relationship?
Maybe I become too attached to people. But she was special. She inspired me to be inquisitive. She was more than inquisitive. She was known to approach anyone who listen and ask them a question about the Bible. I fell victim to be the recipient to these questions several times in my life. The amazing thing is that she read the Bible 13 times completely through. At the time she died she was all the way to John of her 14th time. Isn't that insane?
I don't think I could archive all the memories I will cherish forever.
I will always remember her smile.
I will always remember her love.
I will always remember her laugh.
I will always remember her jokes.
I think the craziest part of all this is that it still hasn't hit me. Being away at school makes it feel like I could just drive home and walk through her front door like I did so many times before.
If I ever have a daughter I will name her Bonnie SarahBelle. Bonnie for this wonderful woman and SarahBelle for her sister, My grandmother.
When my grandmother went to be with the Lord I was relatively young. 8th grade or so. From time until now she became that Grandmother figure in my life.
What makes me the saddest is that she will never see me be engaged, She won't be there when I get married.
What makes me the happiest is that she is finally getting all the answers to all the questions she has been asking.
I could go on and on. And I realize that this isn't everything I wanted to say about her. I also realize that others can explain themselves better than I can.
All that matters is that I loved her and I always will love her.
