My dear, future love.

Dear Lover,          
            Prom's this week and no. I don't have a date. Part of me wishes that I'd still be asked, but let's be honest... its too late now. So here I am, going single to prom. And after some prayer and thinking... I'm honestly okay with it. Although, yes I'm a romantic at heart, I understand that sometimes in life we go through a "single season." And this season is right now for me. I haven't met you my love but I miss you dearly even so. I miss the way you'll laugh, your hand on the small of my back, the way your lips will brush mine. I miss you even though I have yet to meet you.
           So. Somewhere far out there in the huge fathomless world I know you're there. And hopefully you're waiting expectantly too. I don't expect you to be blogging out your feelings for me, but I do hope there a spirit of patience within you that allows you to wait for my heart. I pray that God is guiding you to be a courageous young leader and that by the time you come into my life He will have already worked greatly within you.
           So where does that leave us? Once again waiting. I heard recently that the value of what you're waiting for is defined by how willing you are to wait for it. So, because I value you so very much. I'll wait for you my love. I'll patiently watch sunsets and new moons rise and set, expectantly live through seasons and years while they come and go, and continue with persistence through every phase in life until I see your face. And while I wait, I'll continually abide in the One who is my full true love. My heart's safe. No need to worry. I'm praying for you darling. See you soon?
Love your wife,
Audrey <3

Absence Makes the ❤ Grow Fonder...

         
           Many have said, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." I now know this is true. My sister is gone for the month serving the Lord in a foreign country. Although I'm so glad she's out serving God with all her heart, I would be lying if I said I didn't miss her.
          Throughout my life, my sister and I have been absolutely inseparable. We do everything together. We go shopping, watch movies, get our nails done, go canoeing, basically anything and everything we do is always together. There are times during the week when she comes into my room and we both do homework. Not talking but simply enjoying each other's presence. I miss her. We're best friends, I love her more than any other person in this world. So, its really different that she's gone.
           In her absence I guess you could say my heart has grown more fond of her. Suddenly I appreciate her more. I realize where all my time goes. I finish homework sooner and go to  bed early because I have nothing to do. I now fully grasp why God didn't make me an only child. He knew before the beginning of time that I'd need an older sister to balance me out and keep my strong in my faith. My sister is one of the best gifts He he has ever given me. I will truly love her all the way until the ends of the ages and into all eternity.

Dashing and Adventurous

I'm not superstitious, but when I saw this in my fortune cookie I smiled to myself. So. Is my life a dashing and bold adventure? I think we can sometimes only hope to have such a dashing and adventurous life. And as a dreamer myself, I really do hope for this.

Thoughts.

            The human has approximately 70,000 thoughts in a single day. I think I've got several thousand more than that. I think all day long. Or dream? I'm such a dreamer. When God created me, I'm sure he said. "This is Audrey. She'll be a dreamer and a romantic. She'll try to make life a fairy-tale." And therefore here I am today. A dreamer and romantic at heart. I feel like this post may be kind of self-centered simply because its pouring out all all the things I love. Things I dream about. But I guess that what blogs are for. Rambling about yourself and your own thoughts.

           I love. Sunshine and windy skies. Purple shaded sunsets. The color red. Butterflies. Daisies. Getting messy. Painting. Lacey dresses. Bicycles. Coffee shop atmospheres. Little vintage boutiques. Fancy cupcakes. Cinderella. Islands in the sun. Old movies. Venice waterways. Floating lanterns. Fireflies. Sparkles in the sky. Lilly pads on lakes. Polaroid cameras. Audrey Hepburn. Ella Fitzgerald. Frank Sinatra. 

Crazy Girl

One of my favorite country songs. Played by Eli Young Band.

White Winter Hymnal

I love this song, and Birdy's voice with it is like something you'd hear in your dreams.

Eyes Open

I decided I'll be posting my favorite songs for next few days. Today is Eyes Open by Taylor Swift. Enjoy!
