Salted Caramel!!! *yum*

Salted Caramel. *yum*…. oh the deliciousness. If I were a food, I would be a salted caramel. As much as I enjoy the taste of this delicious food, I hardly ever eat it. The reason I would be salted caramel is the contrasting of flavors- sweet and salty. That's me. I'm incredibly girly, a hopeless romantic, I love making my home my haven, giggling, painting my nails, wearing heels, and the fun little things that make it quite fun to be a girl**--the sweet side. But I also have a salty side where I love to help people move, I am a strong girl who does not give up, I'm steadfast, loyal to my core, relentlessly passionate about things, I love action movies, getting muddy, going camping, and I'm built tough. Tough as in diamond tough--- that has been through the fire, walked through horrid seasons, forgiven, processed, let go, and has come out stronger and a little more shiny. I am salted caramel… and I love it.

The perfect wave **

I just watched a movie titled "The Perfect Wave." I didn't intend on watching it… I had another movie on in the background as I have been searching for social work jobs. After that movie ended, this movie was the suggestion, so I thought, yes, I keep thinking about wanting to surf. So, I watched it. Wow. It was amazing in a million ways. The climax and the ending surprised me, and yet it awakened me… it awakened and reminded me. In this next season and chapter, I could choose what it could look like. I could. I could choose safe and comfortable, I could choose that. And yet, something else lies at stake. Kingdom. This life is for a greater purpose than what I can see. It is beyond. Far, far beyond. This life is a mere blip on the plane of eternity. Having graduated college, everything that was concrete in my life is now open. Everything and everyone in my life is on the table. Every dream, every longing, every want….. If I am on mission, then I need to be engaged on that mission. It is beyond what I can see, it is beyond what I may want for my life. He is my Lord. I choose His plan. Whether that happens in Nashville or somewhere else. I want to pour my life out for Him - for Kingdom. Even if the graveyard of my dreams continually expands. He is worth it all. Love of my life, King of my heart, King above all other kings. Oh the excitement building for what is to come. I'm not playing it safe, for sure. Surf's up! *smile*
