My Heart Song

I have known this song for a long time, but for the first time today I really listened to the words in the lyrics. All I could think of was....

"This is me!"

Picture of the Day

Today I had a final photoshoot with my sister before she leaves for Africa for four months. I don't know if she will ever read this blog but still I feel like I need to recognize her for her bravery. I would never be able to leave my home for four months to another hemisphere without any friends or family waiting to take me in.
She is a beautiful person, inside and out. We have more memories together then anyone else in the world. We haven't always been as close as we are now. Growing up we were mortal enemies, and couldn't be in the same room for more then five minutes without fighting. But as we grew up we found out that we finally had something in common... we liked BOYS! haha
This girl is so important to me. She inspires me to always do better, she sets goals very high for herself and have every intention of meeting them, and she isn't afraid of the world. I look up to her so much. I will miss her like crazy this summer and will be praying for her daily that she will be safe and that she will be finding God in a way that she has never experienced before.
I love love LOVE this girl!

Nerves + Adrenaline

There's something about the lights, the eye's of 400 people watching your every move, and the sounds of performing on a stage. Before you enter into the light, you are standing where the curtain shields you, your heart starts to skip a beat. Then two. You know that once you are in the light your world is no longer your own. Your body is no longer your own. You are in a new world, a new life. Your thoughts are now someone else's. It is your job to become someone your not when the light hits your face. Staring at your feet you go over who you are and what your about to become in your mind. You can hear the cheers of 800 hands. It is time to step out from behind the curtain. You meet the eyes of your companion, taking this adventure with you. A smile forms on her lips, encouraging you that she's ready. Inside you have a new confidence so you stand straight and wait for your moment to emerge. The crowd is silently waiting upon your arrival. The time has come. You take a deep breath and step into the light. They are waiting for you.

Sun on my face. Wind through my hair.
