Wrap around porch, and lemonade.
We all have dreams, things we want to accomplish, our ideal future. More often then not however we hold onto these things embarrassed to share with anybody the honest simplicity of what our hearts really want. But ive been thinking a lot lately that the things that i so strongly desire for my life were surely placed there by God alone, because only he could give me such vision of a life that just brings me peace. If i had to title my dream, my desires, it would be wrap around porch, and lemonade. My dream is to be a wife and a mom. I've never had a family i dont know what it is to be able to run into my parents bed when its storming outside or cry in a daddy's arms when a boy has broken my heart, but i know i want to begin that somewhere. I want to be beautiful and captivating to my husband. I want my children to never doubt my love for them, not even for a second. Most of all i want to live in a place i can retreat to . Somewhere comfortable warm, somewhere anyone could call home. I want a big wrap around porch with a porch swing. I want Sunday afternoons to be family time. I want a big yard, and a dog and a horse. I want to make life simple for people. For my children to enjoy being kids, not having to worry about a thing. These are my simple desires the hope i have for something beautiful and beyond me. And when the vision of such things dance in my head its narrated by soulful music picture by picture drawing a warm smile out of me. On my bad days when im not sure what everything has been for i hold tightly to my wrap around porch and lemonade. I like to think its Gods gift to me, the hope that one day amidst all the trials ill have a retreat to simplicity in the form of Family!
