this reminds me of my cat.

Don’t you think that daisies are the friendliest flower?

..heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss, my heart turns violently inside of my chest and I don’t have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way.. He loves us.
Oh how he loves us!

This made me think of my husband, and made me think about why I love him and why being married was the right thing for me.
He knows when I am having a bad day by glancing at me or hearing me say, “Hello.”
He wishes he could fix all of my problems even if they aren’t his to fix, he would if he could.
Being around him makes me feel completely different, like standing next to him makes me feel stronger, better, more.
He is like his own sun.. like he could light up the entire neighborhood just by being conscious.. and he has a warmness that I can’t describe, but it’s like I can’t get enough.
He lets me rant about really stupid things even though other people get annoyed by my rambling.
He gets my family issues and doesn’t make me feel bad or judged based on them. He separates the thing from me the person.. no one else has ever been able to do that before.
When people have said bad things about me, or to me, or at me, he never chooses to believe them because he knows the real me.
When we are with each other, it’s sublimely comfortable, like we don’t have to TRY so hard, or DO anything, we can just BE and that’s cool.
We’ve been married almost 4 years and it doesn’t feel like it, because it feels like we were always supposed to be together. We don’t think about it, or talk about it.. it just IS.
His mom says when she first met me, she KNEW I was going to be her daughter. She told me she could feel it or sense it somehow..I told her I had no idea that was going to happen.. she told me she was glad it did.
When I think about his family lately, I feel like I am thinking about MY family.. like they were always supposed to be mine, somehow. It’s cool, because a few years ago I thought I would never feel that.. I would never feel like I belonged to a family, or had a family, or a family had me.. now I feel that.
I think God did that for me.
He brings me cherry Popsicles without me having to ask..
My marriage isn’t perfect and there are lots of things that bug me sometimes.. but these are truths that I felt like sharing.

This song hits me like a ton of bricks, in a good way.

“I built a monument for the love we used to know, but that is far removed and you say, that I’m gonna be okay and yeah, I’m gonna be okay, but it doesn’t seem that way, no love, not today. “
Lately my mind keeps wandering around in circles thinking, “Did I make the right decision to leave my job?” “Do I make the right decisions?” I thought the job I was at was made for me.. but division eventually comes.. and I couldn’t stand it. Since I have left, I have felt continuous freedom.. and happiness. Happy that the stress is gone, I’ve felt so.. refocused. I mean, I’m not rushing around all the time, I can actually enjoy life and LIVE.. you know? Unfortunately, with this new found joy and freedom, I also feel a lack of direction. Which is normally when my brain kicks in and I start going “Find a direction for yourself, Anna! Get a project, get a life, get something!” But I know that is wrong… because for once I realize that MY ways, and MY thoughts and MY will are not His ways, or His thoughts or His will for my life. It brings tears to my eyes to know that I don’t have to struggle with that all of the time.. I don’t have to fix it. I don’t have to be fixed or fix the situation. He will fix it, He will carry me, He will work it out, solve it, make it, create it, break it.
So today my honest prayer is just “God.. do Your will in my life, if it’s not Yours, then I don’t want it, I don’t need it and it doesn’t need me.” I find this scary because for someone who is very used to being in control, it is hard to relinquish..His mercy is so good that even when my love fails, His remains.

: not about food... again
There are times in this life when you feel like you need to make a jump… do something, maybe choke down a decision that does not really seem wise, or perfect. I run from these situations, i fear them because i’m addicted to the easy in this life. There is comfort in be able to do the same thing…
