Love is…

corycopeland:

Love is beautiful… …when you feel you might burst from the happiness that’s ravaged your bones and electrified your insides, all because you’ve fallen for the one who completes the beat of your heart and filled the emptiness of your hand. Love is lonely… …when you’ve fallen for the far off one. Yet …

Single?

corycopeland:

Being single doesn’t diminish your value as a person or as a Christian. Don’t let anyone tell you or make you feel otherwise.

Keep the Faith

corycopeland:

Sometimes it’s hard to hear “God has a plan” when we’re down, but it’s true. He does have a plan for you and it’s a good one. Keep the faith.

Gay Marriage: A Discussion

corycopeland:

With gay marriage such a hot topic these past couple of weeks, I asked my dear friend Brittny if she’d be willing to open up and discuss her views on the subject. Being a Christian member of the gay community, I thought an insight into her thoughts and what she deals with on a daily basis would be …

It Won’t Work

I know you understand that I’ve never been religious, and that while I might not share your beliefs, I love you and your devout faith.  I love you for understanding that atheists aren’t “bad people.” I love you for loving the true me for me and not forcing me to believe in things that I simply don’t believe in, just as I love the true you for being a servant to the God that you love.

N&H

“In this needle and haystack life
I found miracles there in your eyes
It’s no accident we’re here tonight
We are once in a lifetime”

Homesick

Sometimes, I feel ready. For you. For us. I feel ready to hold your hand and know that you’re there. To be in love with you. To face things together. To count on you and be counted on by you. To be wrapped in your arms and never want to leave. To be a reason for your smile. To follow your lead. 
But then I realize I’m not ready. I’m young. I’m foolish. There are things I need to do, see, and experience before I get to you. Things I need to learn and understand. There are places in my life I have to come to, there are things inside I need to come to grips with. I’m not ready for you. You’re probably not ready for me either.
And that’s okay.
It’s just that I know when I’m with you… I’ll feel like I’m home. And, well, I guess sometimes I just feel homesick. 

Good Reasons

Yes, I will probably do most of the cleaning of our house. Only because I’m a clean freak, not because that is my role in the relationship.  I know you will also believe in taking the initiative when something needs to be done and not just waiting for the specific person to do the job.  This and your humor will be what causes me to fall in love with you.

Forever Ain’t Bad

I’m looking forward to the small things in life: waking up beside you,
seeing your toothbrush next to mine, digging past your cologne and
shaving cream in the medicine cabinet. How bad could forever be if
it’s by your side?

Longing for You

I long for you; to be loved by you. 
All I can say is that it is an extremely tough journey without you, please make an appearance in my life soon.

A Christian’s Thoughts on Gay Marriage

corycopeland:

Much has been said about gay marriage over the past week. Anger, resentment, and foul words have been yelled, typed, tweeted, and felt. And right in the middle of all of it has been we Christians. Because of our deep dedication to the Church and …
