So I'm really uninspired at the moment. However I am attempting to post something intelligent if not coherent. Somewhere deep inside of me lies the potential book. Of what the subject will contain, I have not a clue. But what I do know is that I enjoy writing on occasion. I've written several short stories, many many songs, and a couple dozen poems. So know when I say I like to write, I really mean it. But I've come to realize something that I didn't quite have a grasp of until recently. There are several times when writing is so quick and easy for me, and other times when I can't write a darn thing. I guess that's what you would call writers block? I'm not sure. Anyhow, songs come more naturally as I'm prone to be musically inclined. It seems though, that I haven't written in a very long time, thus the need to force myself to post this even in my half asleep state. My hope is to write every night of my vacation, which is soon. I pray that I find solace in the one who has captured my heart and that he will give me rest and direction for my life, as well as the ability to write as though I've never written before.

Our CD is coming along. We are finally in step two of our three step process. My initial hope was to have the project completed by the end of this month. However, our photography shoot wasn't scheduled till the middle of April, leaving us no time to get the pictures to the graphic artist before the beginning of May. The woman who took our pictures, was awesome! She went to all our crazy locations and shot over 600 pictures of us. She was such a trooper! Currently she is working to edit them. Once that is done, we will send the pictures to our graphic artist who will layout the pictures as well as the lyrics for the CD booklet. After that will be step three in which we produce the whole package!!! And once all of that is done, it will finally be ready to be sold to the masses!!!! Ok maybe not the masses, but to all those people who have been waiting since January for a CD, and in some cases, those who have waited practically our whole lives for this moment. Haha...funny I say that because that is the title of our CD...spoiler alert!! Our CD will be called This Moment! :) It will contain 12 origianl songs and one amazing song by an awesome girl named Audrey Lena Baughman. I was so excited to learn that she was willing to share her song with us. The day we met her, I felt like I was meeting someone famous...c'mon I'd only seen/heard her on myspace and from what I'd heard, it was like she was famous...Ok maybe only in my mind. Anyway, she is an awesome person and it was a steller time recording with her. Thanks Audrey! You rock my face off! :) not litterally...

I've been reading the book Captivating. It's been an eye opener, explaining things about my heart and emotions that God placed within me. Things that God longs to repair inside of us that often get ripped apart as little girls. I'm learning to love deeper than I ever have before. I'm learning that trust is not easy, but so essential to our existence. I'm also slowly learning that the God of the universe is in love with me. Not just oh I love you because I have to, or Jesus loves me this I know...but truly, deeply,
in love with me. That has been hard to understand. I guess because we are taught to think otherwise; we are taught to believe that he's out to get us and that if we can't be exactly perfect that he's going to write us off forever. But that's not what God says. As women, he, the King, is enthralled with our beauty. That he loves to sing over us. He passionatly loves us with an unending, undying love. And to know that someone, the only true on that matters, desires me, longs for me, and wants me, somehow gives my soul solace and satisfaction. He's beginning to heal my heart in places I didn't know needed to be healed. He's bringing new life to my soul and changing me once again.
Jesus your beautiful.
