Life

There's an ideal life that I picture sometimes. I can't fully describe it. I know it involves brightness, and joy, and love, and happiness, and scenes that seem to belong on Pinterest. I think everyone has an ideal life. And I in no way expect that this is the life that I will find myself living someday. But it gives me something to move towards. Dreams to chase. Glimpses of beauty, sneak peeks of joy. I think it's only something that I will truly, ultimately find in heaven, this perfect life I envision sometimes. But it's still something I can try to create for myself as well as I can, with God's help. I used to think I just was just along for the ride in my life. But that's not true. I can actually take action, can shape my future. I should. I can be happy. I can find joy and beauty. I think they will always be my goals. I will always be working towards them. Always changing, always growing. And, Lord willing, growing in Him. Adding to the beauty.
