"If I buried what my heart really longed for, then when my dreams didn't materialize, God wouldn't look bad, right? And maybe I wouldn't ache from a broken heart.
That day my God was so small; He could have fit into those spaces I left in my luggage. But He didn't stay that way. Day after day, year after year, He continues to burst out of every box I try to put Him in. I wouldn't expect anything less from a living, loving, almighty God. Of course, I continue to burst out of the box I try to fit myself into as well. That's because it's this same approachable, yet unfathomable, God who shaped my heart, as well as my physical frame. He's the author of my deepest, truest, most honest dreams. And more often than not, I find it's my own plans that are too small."

Psalm 18:20-24 (the message)
God made my life complete
when I placed all the pieces before him.
When I got my act together,
he gave me a fresh start.
Now I’m alert to God’s ways;
I don’t take God for granted.
Every day I review the ways he works;
I try not to miss a trick.
I feel put back together,
and I’m watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.
Reminder to self: Open my heart to Him, allow Him to write my story, don't be afraid to dream.
