A Little Bit More

You will never think that it's the last time.

That you'll always have another chance.

One more time to say how you really feel.
One more time to kiss the person you care so much about.
One more time to do all the things you said you would do the next time.


But that's not how life works. Nor will it ever work that way.

When it comes down to the end, we're all going to be begging for just a little bit more.

And oh how it hurts.

I get it.

I've been there.

The pain that comes from not having as much time as you thought is sometimes so unbearable you don't think you can possibly take one step forward, but you manage to somehow fall three steps back.


Life is full of chances and choices. It's what you do with those things that end up shaping your own life, and the life of those around you. See, for every chance you are given in life, there is a choice that needs to be made with it. And it's what's you choose, that either makes or breaks your life.

So choose it all.

Choose to love as many people as you can, without judgement or standards.

Choose happiness in the face of adversity.

Choose to see the good in people, not the lies and harsh words people try and fill your mind with about them.

Choose to look on the bright side of ugly situations.

Choose joy.

But most importantly, choose to wake up and be the most true and authentic you that you can be.


Because I promise you, if you stay true to who you are and live your life genuinely, you aren't going to need a little more.

And most importantly, turn to Jesus to calm your soul.

Life is unpredictable.

Things will happen all the time that you didn't expect to.

People will come and go.

But God tells us to find comfort in the fact that if he closes one door in our lives, its only because he has something greater waiting for us behind a different door. And while we are waiting for that next door to open, we need to find peace and contentment, and praise him in the hallway.


So learn how to want a little bit more from the moments presented to you, and stop trying to find a little bit more time to stretch your moments out.

Because when you have the chance, you'll have to choose.

And with you, I want and choose it all. Everyday, in every way, in all circumstances, I will choose to have just a little bit more of you.

I need you to kiss me a little bit more gently, hug me a little bit more tighter and longer, and show me a little bit more patience.

I need you to stay up just a little bit more when I've had a bad day. I need you to reassure and calm my fears just a little bit more once I'm two hours away. And some days, I'll need you to remind me a little bit more, why you ever fell for me in the first place.

I want you to show a little bit more of yourself to me, more than you do to everyone else.

I want a little bit more of your heart, and I want you to have a little bit more of mine.

I want it all, and I want it with you.

Because while we might not know when our story will end, I wake up everyday thankful I get to spend another day on Earth with you in my life.


Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Homesick

Home has always been the place where you feel you most belong and are accepted. Home can be so many different things to so many different people. But the thing I've come to learn, is that home isn't always a place. Home can be a thing you love, a certain scent or feeling, or a person you can't live without. I've become homesick for a place I'm not even sure exists even more, a place where I'm at peace and loved by him without a worry in the world. My home became him. And I worry that I will never completely be at home again, because my heart is constantly elsewhere. But, maybe that's the price you pay for allowing someone in. Then, all of a sudden you're in a place you're supposed to enjoy and fall in love with, but all you can think about is being home and how you're not there. You became my home because I left my heart with you while I was gone, knowing you would still be there with it when I got back. I miss you. I mi...

The End Of The Beginning

Life has a way of sneaking up on you. One minute you're a little kid running around the playground without a care in the world. Then, you're a middle schooler who has just discovered black eye liner. But then suddenly, you become an adult and you're wrapping up four years of high school. And you realize that in the blink of an eye, you're not a kid anymore, and you're heading out into the real world to try and make it on your own. You're torn. You want to be happy because of everything you accomplished to get you across the graduation stage. But, you're also sad, because you feel as though you didn't get a chance to do everything you wanted and you want a second chance, a do over. But hear me when I say this: It isn't the end, it's only the beginning. You will have more chances to do what you wanted with who you wanted. You'll have an entire lifetime to love on whomever you want, and there will come a time when it an be wh...

Lessons Learned

18 years. 216 months. 936 weeks. 6750 days. 157680 hours. 9460800 minutes. 567648000 seconds. Life has a funny way of getting away from you really quickly. One minute you're 5 running around a farm chasing barn cats and feeding the goats, and the next minute you're crying over boys and getting ready to pack up everything and move away to college. But the thing I've come to realize is that life didn't change, you  changed. You might fall down, but you need to learn how to stand back up, brush it off, and never let the same thing knock you over twice. 1. People are temporary; So are feelings. It's a part of life. One of the hardest things I've had to learn how to deal with is how to say goodbye to people I didn't want to let go of, and hello to people I was skeptical about letting in. I didn't want to say goodbye because I was happy and content, and even if I wasn't all the time, it's still what I was used to, a...
