Taking chances.
A change of scenery.
New mountains to see, new places to explore.
A place to call your own.
A meadow.
A creek.
A hollow tree.
A place of comfort.
A house filled with laughter.
A family you hope to someday call your own.
Restored Happiness.
Love.}

The Traveler.
She’s beauty with a splash
of quirkiness. She’s exquisite in her own skin & there once was a day when
she owned the style of ‘pink hair.’
She’s starting her next chapter in Denver, Colorado.
This town has become her home, but I
believe that she’s made for something bigger. Something that helps her stand
firm in this world of challenges & heartbreaks & happiness & love.
She’s stubborn & silly. She’s love in itself & beauty on her own. She
loves the simple things in life, like naming her someday children & buying
random stuff & making it unique. She gives more than she receives in this
beautiful world & believes that every person deserves a second chance.
She’s venturing out, she’s exploring
new horizons & finding herself. This may be a journey of love or just an
adventure for her & our Daddy in Heaven to take together. She’s saying
‘goodbye’ to this town that has been her home for twelve years & opening
the next chapter in her book. Life is about to take a rollercoaster & it
may be tough, but nothing is too big for God to handle. Chelsea is just along
for the ride.
God has this chapter filled with a lot
of doors & windows & she has no clue what will be waiting behind them,
but she’s going. She’s taking that leap of faith & trusting the One that
knows her heart & her desires & her loves. –He knows the desires
because He’s heard her cries & heard her joyfulness as she’s expressed
through her journals throughout the years.
The years of waiting for her life to
take the road that is traveled by few, is coming upon her. Chelsea has been
chosen. God called out her name & placed this in her hands & watched it
all unfold before His eyes. He knew that every obstacle & every adventure
that has happened in her life would all lead up to this moment. He knew it. He
wrote it. She’s living it.
Chelsea loves with a love that most
people would die to have. This girl, she may have a quirky dog & a silly
life, but all those beautiful things lead up to the girl that is standing
before us all tonight. She doesn’t get everything right the first time, but
she’s not afraid to try again & live this life abundantly. She’s a girl
that sings at the top of her lungs in the car & expresses herself through
her words.
She’s not simple. She’s someone that is
worth your time to listen to & hear her story. Chelsea is loveliness. She’s
creating something new, everyday.
New journeys, new places, new people,
same girl. Just a new zip code.
She’s starting her next chapter in Denver, Colorado.
Grace.
{This was written for my sister as she ventures out on the next chapter in her life.}
Girl, I love you more than you can imagine. Only 5 months. {maybe}

Prayer.
God is the healer of broken hearts.
He's the one that mends anything back to His wonderful masterpiece.
There are times though that prayer is all we are capable of.
He holds our future in His hands, and knows the ending day.
We need to believe in the power of prayer.
We need to believe in the strong power of Our wonderful Maker of the universe.
Pray for someone in the middle of eating lunch.
Pray for someone in the middle of a food store.
Pray for someone that is struggling with something very difficult in their life.
Pray for healing in a broken family.
Pray for restoration.
Pray for strength.
Pray for the ability to say what you're truly feeling about the incredible person you have the honors of calling "Abba Father."
Pray for the homeless.
Pray for the broken.
Pray for the lost.
Pray for a friend in a difficult time.
Pray for love.
Pray for someone you don't even know by name, but God does!
Pray for this WORLD.
This may be a lot of 'prayer' for tonight, but a lot of this stuff we pass up every single day we live our lives. We forget about the homeless, the people that don't even know where their next meal is coming from. We forget about the broken....the people that are going through a hard time. We forget to think about them for a change instead of what WE want to do with our time. We forget about the hurting.
Think about them....And stop thinking about yourself for once.
Just listen for God's voice, He'll direct your path!
.Simply Grace.

Angel By Your Side.
She's fighting. She's crying. She's yearning for something better.
She's believing in miracles. She's fighting the Devil. She's not giving up on her own prayers. She's never going to give up.
This beautiful girl is broken. Even in the tears and brokenness she is finding comfort in the midst of darkness.
Days pass, and she sees herself believing in a better "dream." She sees beauty in the midst of anger, and hurt.
She sees a hurting heart and longs to heal it. This girl, she believes in the power of God. She believes this is only temporary.
Friendship and love is what this girl longs for. She needs an "Angel by her side." Someone that will be there in the tough hours, and in the "easy as making Mac and Cheese" hours. She needs that light that she can't seem to find right now.
She needs a friendly hand to grab, and feel comfort. She doesn't believe God will ever fail her. He's here for the long run, and in the midst of fighting battles, He's there with His arms open wide just waiting for you to run into them.
You may not know what tomorrow holds, but God does. He knows the ending day. He sees your hurting heart and yearns to mend it back together. He's trying.
When you cry, Our Heavenly Daddy longs to wipe those tears. He's crying right along with you, because when your heart breaks so does His.
People don't always know the right words to say, they're not suppose to know everything. Trying is the best thing. Being there, and showing your concern, that's all a broken heart needs. Love.
"Every plant goes though a bad season of their growing process, they have to go through the dirt to get to the lovely bloom of the flower."
-Nameless.
This girl is someone I hold close to my heart.
I hope she finds a "Angel by her side" soon.

In The Meadow.
In the Meadow is where I choose to be. Someday I'll sit there with you and cherish our time together. I'll look back on our time together as a journey of fun and laughter. I'll remember the hard times as a learning point, and I'll always believe in you. I choose the meadow. It's beautiful and lovely. I want to spend my days with you there in the meadow.
I love you.
This meadow will be ours. It'll be a place to run away to, and hide away from the world. It'll be ours. I haven't found this meadow yet, but I long to. I dream of it, and I believe that the day I find you, we'll find our perfect meadow. We'll leave our fears, and heartaches behind, and dream, and love. When marriage gets too tough, we'll always come back to this place and find comfort. We'll remember this place as the place we fell in-love, and it'll always be ours.
This is a place I've dreamt about for years, and longed to find. A place I always had in the back of my mind...lingering and longing to find. Never have I found it though. Walking through many woods, and trails, hoping this would be the time. And every time I had to wait a little longer. I'm still waiting, but I feel it closer, with every day passing. I believe that someday I'll have a place where I can just run away to with you. A place we can call our own, where it's away from the world, and it's just you and me.
Love, do I know who you are right now...maybe not. I long to know you though. I dream about you lovely. I pray for our relationship, and I know that the day our worlds collide into one, we'll make everything work. It's not going to be easy, and we'll be hit with challenges, but where's the adventure in the easy stuff?
Our whole life will be a adventurous journey.
But love, if we ever get off pace, and lose our way, and forget what's really important in life, promise me we'll find each other in the meadow. We'll always return there. I love you lovely.
Grace.
*this is written for the boy that will someday have my heart. Someday I'll know you.
(I wrote this on my phone sitting in "Home Goods" a couple weeks back, and just came across it again today...Yes, I get inspiration in the weirdest ways.)
I love you.
