WHEN OCEANS RISE

If you have set your identity as a Daughter in Christ, be that woman. Learn to love God above all else. Learn to exemplify Christ-like character in every area of your life. Embrace holiness, purity, and godliness and make inward beauty your main priority.

Sometimes a poem tells me, ‘No. No. I do not want to be written right now.’ And I understand. I am a patient lover.

I don’t want him for an hour or just a call on the phone. Hushed voices and sleepy conversation. I don’t want him in a letter. Words sprawled onto paper expressing emotion. I want him indefinitely. I want him on my worst days and my best. I want him here with me but, for now I’ll cherish the yawns and whispered, “I love you’s” over the phone. And I’ll reread your letters over and over on days that I miss you most. And I’ll wait for the day that you’ll be here with me indefinitely.
