Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It's more than where you're born - it's an idea, a state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It's more than loving fried chicken, sweet tea, high school football, cookouts, country music, and acoustic guitars. It's being hospitable, being devoted to front porches, magnolias, the good Lord, and each other. We don't become Southern - we're born that way.

Perfect Love
I am what some would refer to as a hopeless romantic which by urban dictionary means.....
This person is in love with love.They believe in fairy tales and love.They're not to be confused as stalkers or creepy because that's not what a hopeless romantic is. All hopeless romantics are idealists,the sentimental dreamers,the imaginative and the fanciful when you get to know them.They often live with rose colored glasses on.They make love look like an art form with all the romantic things they do for their special someone.
.....That is me in a nutshell! I am in love with love. Not even just romantic love, but any kind of love that has to do with any type of relationship (God, family, friends, ect.) I thrive off of loving and taking care of people. Im more of giving love than receiving love which is a down fall in my life. I tend to love so much that at times it seems unfair because most don't express loving relationships the way i do, which i'm totally fine being at the other end of the deal. about a year ago i use to think of "Love" as when two people fall head over heels for each other and nothing else in the world mattered. (Which was a awful, close minded way of thinking) I spent years constantly being let down by those around me....my parents, relationships and everything in-between because i wasn't receiving the same deep kind of love i would day in and day out give to those around me. I soon there after realized that the only PERFECT LOVE im ever going to find is in God alone. For awhile i didn't want to settle with that, i wanted a real walking talking physical person to love me the way i wanted to give my own love. I then ran across this poem that has forever changed my outlook on loving God and finding that love that deep inside i so desire.
Everyone longs to give himself or herself completely to someone, to have a deep and committed soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and unconditionally. But God says: No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by Me alone, with giving yourself totally, unreservedly to Me alone. I love you, My child, and until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another, until you are united with Me; exclusively of anyone or anything else; exclusively of any other desires and belongings. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing -- one that you can't imagine. I want you to have the very best. Please allow Me to bring it to you. Just keep your eyes on Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep experiencing that satisfaction knowing that I AM. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you. You must be patient. Don't be anxious. Don't worry. Don't look around at the things others have. Don't look at the things you think you want. Just keep looking up to Me, or you will miss what I want to give you. And then, when you are ready, I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful than you could ever dream. You see, until you are ready, and until the one I have for you is ready (I am working even this minute to have both of you ready at the same time), until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I have prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me .. and this is perfect love.
Good huh? :) I leave you with not only that but a paragraph i just recently read in "When God Writes Your Love Story" By Eric & Leslie Ludy
"God created us with a desire for companionship. He designed us to intensely long for intimacy-spiritual, emotional, and yes, even physical. he did not make us this way to provide us with these longing as a form or cruel torture, but as the most perfect gift He could possibly give us. Just as a lover desires to show his adoration to his bride by tenderly presenting her with a delicate and fragrant rose, so has our Great Lover gifted us with this delicate and wondrous capacity to give and receive love and passion. And once we awaken to this truth, then we will also discover that, as the Inventor of romance, He also wants to teach us how to discover it in all its fullness."
....And don't worry all you non mushy gushy people not ALL of my blogs will be about love but its is about 99.999999% of my blood so be prepared to feel the love in almost every blog! :)
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with ACTIONS and in truth.

My Mondays & Tuesdays!
Finley
On Mondays & Tuesdays i am blessed with the most perfect job in the world and that is babysitting one of the most amazing baby girls ever! I could not start my week off any better way then getting to be with such a sweet baby! I have learned that when i someday have a child of my own my days will consist of hanging out at home all day learning things from the Dr. OZ show...... such as, you should always close the lid when you flush the toilet, which i might add i have continued to do since the moment i heard why its so important! :)
“Children too are a gift from the LORD, the fruit of the womb, a reward.” – Psalm 127:3
And GO!!!
.... I've never been one to publicly express what's on my heart or mind unless asked personally. I've learned over the years, one thing, that is that experiences in ones life can drastically change and help out someone else's. Weather it be to encourage one that they are not alone in their current circumstances or that its a past experience someone else is presently going though. One thing I have always said to encourage people going through hard times is that, it is important to fight your way through the situation because somewhere down the road someone will come into your life with that exact same problem and i personally would like to be able to help them overcome oppose to just tell them I'm going through the same thing. All of that being said i realized sharing my thoughts and experiences may or may not be beneficial to those that may read this but I'm willing to put the time into hoping its helpful to at least 1. So here it goes......
