Moments...

[woven_spun]

~Moments, time that is gone in the blink of an eye, in a glance, a stolen kiss, a connection, a blissful memory. I have so many of these. Lately I have been trying to hold on to "moments." I find myself just closing my eyes and listening to what is around me. I thought the summer would find me and cover me with radiant sunlight and peace. It has certainly done these things, but I find it bringing me more than I bargained for. Gosh, I have neglected to write in so long that I forgot the beauty I found in just letting my fingers dance along the keyboard. Well I have many accomplishments that I am most certainly proud of. I have managed to make A's in my summer classes, I have even attended them regularly..which for me is worth boasting about. Summer has just begun and I have made new and fantastic friend rekindled old ones and have traveled a little. Work is going extrememly well, everyone I work with is amazing. I really feel a sense of unity. A little over a week ago I got my first tattoo, rock on! It's about the size of a quater located on the outside of my foot. Ouch,but a beautiful dove now resides. It has only been on my person about a week and it is so much apart of me. I guess the paramount event that is about to take place in my life is the fact that I am moving out of the house. This has allowed for quite a memory jog. I wake up everyday wondering what it will be like to finally be living on my own. It is scary in its own right but powerfully inspiraring. I have been trying to spread my wings for a couple of months now. Adulthood/Womenhood is something I am desperatly seeking to attain. There is just so much running through my mind and going on in my life that "moments" seem to be what I live for. I think womenhood has crept upon me, gently rather, instead of a leaping or roaring at me. I am ready, but I am in need of so much prayer. I want to do this right and strive to be all I can be spritually. My God is my portion, my strength, and my deliverer. I just want to feel him near, although I know he will go with me where ever I go and will be with me until the end of days. He brings me such comfort when I need it...

Forever and always,
