I thank the Creator for you.

An Open Letter To The Man Who Captured My Heart
Stephanie Barros

To the man who has captured my heart, the one whom my soul loves.To the one who jumpstarts the beat in my chest to the shove of the crimson through my veins:

I thank the Creator for you.


I thank His design of your hands, worn down with patches and scars from constant tenacity and the strings on your guitar. From His design of your eyes which reflect hope and boldness, like a collision of infinite stars in the sky. To His design of your desires of following His truth, and spreading His love like wildfire.

I thank the Creator for you.


There are the endless dreams I cannot help but have of whether our children’s eyes will be blue, brown, or green. Dreams of our daughters and sons finding another who loves them but loves The One, just like we have done together.

Dreams of when we are seventy and you’ll whisper, “My love, you look more beautiful today,” while you sit in that rocking chair beside me.

I thank the Creator for you.


I pray over the time we have now. And that we’ll keep on running. "Somehow,” is how the world says they’ll reach their journey. “Someone,” is how we say we’ll reach He Who is Worthy.

I pray over our future footsteps, over the joy we’ll share and the agony we’ll try to forget. I pray over the tears we will wear when “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.”

I thank the Creator for you.


I thank the Creator for you:
For jumpstarting the beating in my chest and the shove of the crimson through my veins. For being whom my soul loves.

I thank God, our splendorous and perfect Creator, for you.

You,
the man who has captured my heart.


Love,

Me


Dedicated to the love of my life. I pray that we will continue to walk with the Lord and share countless times of laughter. I pray for the future He holds for us in His hands. I pray that we will always remember that through anything and everything, He is good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
