Deep down all women want to be made to feel important, special, and unconditionally loved by a man. Their man.
What does it mean to truly live moment by moment? and Does life only start after I get married and have kids?
She told me I should always cling to my faith, and though I’ve wavered time and time again, I remember her words.
The silver cross is a wink from God, letting me know I will be okay, even when I’m not.

“Let the world roll around in the same ole muck. Don’t be afraid to create somethin’ different.”

I trust God’s guidance
He wants me to share the message that love—true love—is ultimately given and received through Him alone.
only the God who gives and takes away can decide my fate.
I’m mere mortal flesh who withers and wastes. He is enduring. Eternal.
They’ve ingrained in me that stability is the most important thing to have in life outside of God. It’s a little contradictory if you ask me, because God calls us to trust Him. That’s it. Trust in Him. Not in stability.
God calls us to trust Him alone, but He doesn’t call us to be ignorant and readily set our lives to flames.
God has given me this story to write, and I have to trust that He will provide everything I ne...

I don’t believe in past lives or reincarnation, but I believe in predestined, orchestrated events, expertly woven by the hand of the Creator of the universe.
think it’s the Lord putting a story on my heart to tell.
Anxiety settles in my chest, and a million questions race through my mind. I hear the Enemy’s voice stirring doubt, and I counter with a quick, silent prayer for the Lord to battle it for me.
thinking about nature and God and purpose. Though God and I haven’t been on the same page lately, and I often wonder if He even hears or sees me, I’m mesmerized by His intricately created beauty around me.
“God. His will. Whatever He has predestined to happen.”
“It really frees you up, you know? Living like you believe God’s plan will
unfurl exactly as it should and when it should. That’s the hope I cling to even when life doesn’t go the way I planned it.”
“I know I believe God is in control, so I wonder why I struggle to open my fists and surrender my plans. It’s like He has to pry my fingers off the agenda I’ve carefully crafted for myself.”
Love has to be built. Trust has to grow alongside it. It takes time.
the time we have on this earth is short. Make every moment count and live it in joy to the fullest while bringing glory to God.
We were created for nothing less.
“She used to always say that there is beauty in the bramble.”
“Esme Samantha Prewitt, will you do me the greatest honor of being my best friend for life?”
Self-control is a fragile thing.
His plans truly are higher;

“No matter how two people come together,”
“it’s the choice to remain that’s important.”
Oh, God. I am mad and resentful over this. I’m going to feel it because You know I don’t have any other option right now, but please, help me to move past it. Eventually.
Life happened the way God meant it to happen.
God has a reason to keep me awake on this earth. It gives me a sense of purpose.
But I want to understand, God. What’s Your reasoning?
“Love is like that sometimes. It sweeps in with raging passion before robbing someone of life.”
Passionate, reckless love withstands the test of time. Their love never fizzles. Some people are so innately full of love that they breathe life into the dead instead of siphoning it from the living.”
“The Good Lord has a reason for everything.
When the Lord brings that man into your life, you will know it.
I trust God to see us through.
Thank you, God, I silently pray. Though I don’t understand, and I likely never will, thank You for bringing beauty to our brokenness.
“Love isn’t about how much time you spend with someone or the amount of dates you go on. Love is impossible to put into words. It catches you off-guard and defenseless when you least expect it to. Love makes sense of things previously unclear while muddling things you once thought you understood.”
“Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your consistent grace, Your unwarranted mercy, and Your everlasting, eternal salvation through Your son, Jesus.
“I was so mad at God, Esme. But through it all, He was still good to me.”
‘The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.’ I’d been studying the book, trying to make sense of why God does the things that He does. I concluded I will never understand the mind of God, but all that matters is that He is God and He is good.
A real man is better than a book boyfriend, not the other way around.”
“If death soldered our souls, I’d die a thousand times over.”
