The tip of my nose smells like flowers.  I just left the body wash aisle and after smelling and re-smelling, I walked away with the best one.  I can hardly wait to use it.  Lemon grass and grapefruit, here I come.  I'm going to smell like spring even if it doesn't always feel like it in this funny little town.

I had the best talk tonight.  I have the best friends.  People from far away that know me by heart and don't let me slide through life.

I am terrified of settling.

I don't care one bit about career.  Or titles.  Not one bit.  I did once, but it went against the grain of my soul.

I do care about getting caught up in myself.

I would like my decisions to be a little bigger than who I am.  A little bigger than anyone, really.  I  love people, but I have to believe in greater things.

Like faith.  And love.  And the eternity that is in every child's heart.

I would like to plan into eternity.

I'm no good at making decisions that can be measured in years.  I'm awful at it actually.  Long commitments make it hard for me to breathe.

I'm more of a body soap decision maker.

But when I connect with Him.  When I make it out of this world and into His, I get the feeling that I could stay there forever.

And that feels like heaven.

Tell me about the fast track and I'll tell you what a child's prayer does to your heart.  Make beautiful speeches and profound points while we giggle at our mistakes and sing loudly.  Eat important lunches, I'll swing high and zip up coats and read handwritten notes in crayon.

I wouldn't give up listening  to Proverbs in nine year old voices for anything.

Not anything.

I've changed my definition of success.

I don't want to settle for less than eternity.
