cheesy, thank you disney

Some day my prince will come
Some day we'll meet again
And away to his castle we'll go
To be happy forever I know
Some day when spring is here
We'll find our love anew
And the birds will sing
And wedding bells will ring
Some day when my dreams come true

So I'm a cheeseball and was reading some blog about a woman and her husband. She was blogging about something her husband did for her and it was so sweet it made my heart smile. I've been singing this good 'ol little Disney song to myself for a while now and it makes me just wonder who God is bringing to me. It's fun to wonder what the One will be like- what will he look like? What will he be passionate about? What will he show me about relationship with Christ? What will be his talents? I look forward to how he will treat me, and I pray that he will equally admire and love me as much as I do him. It's fun to dream and to make requests to the Lord. So, someday my prince will come, but right now I'm delighting in the King of Kings.

foolishness

I never really understood what a fool was until recently. I've come to realize it annoys me when people act really immaturely, even (or especially) old people. There is far more to this life than the superficial and shallow; it is so much deeper and richer. I'm talking about true foolishness, not being goofy and having a good time every now and then. Life is so much more than a social scene, or putting on a face or being fake. I want authenticity! Honesty! Being real! There has got to be depth and growth. Life is not a show where you play some part everybody else picks out for you, it is about being exactly who God has created you to be. Why can't more people see that? What is this business about putting on an act or a facade? It drives me insane.
