Looking Up - Paramore.

Honestly, can you believe
We crossed the world while it's asleep?
I'd never trade it in
'Cause I've always wanted this and
It's not a dream anymore, no
It's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for.

Okay, so I woke up this morning thinking about you.. us.. the future. Playing out situations in my head. Like, people (outsiders/interviewers/fans) are going to ask questions and say it happened too fast & we're too young to get married. So then we decide to make a video explaining our stories, both sides, and how we technically have two years on this that no one else knew about. Two whole years. We wanted to play it at the wedding, but then we decided to do it at the the surprise engagement party, that people thought was just a get-together..

But then I stopped myself. I brought myself back to reality. And I prayed. I prayed to God to forgive me for being selfish.. For thinking about that when this weekend is about Him. Even though it's His will and my next step, I still took it into my own hands to say, 'Hey, let me forget about it right now. I have to do my devos.'

And the best ownage to my legalism? My devo opened with this verse: The Lord replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. - Jeremiah 1:7

Oh, and the continuation of that verse, which was showed later on in the devo? And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!” - Jeremiah 1:8

Reality is.. This is reality. God is real. You are real. This situation is real. Our future is real.
