A Girl Can Dream

Crazy, stupid dreams, but sweet ones nevertheless.

Please enjoy the following selections from the lyrics to Taylor Swift's "Enchanted":

There I was again tonight 
Forcing laughter, faking smiles 
Same old tired lonely place 
Walls of insincerity, 
Shifting eyes and vacancy 
Vanished when I saw your face  

 Your eyes whispered, 
"Have we met?" 
Across the room your silhouette 
Starts to make its way to me 

All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you 

 This night is sparkling, don't you let it go 
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home 
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew 
I was enchanted to meet you 

 The lingering question kept me up 
2 AM, who do you love? 
I wonder 'til I'm wide awake 

And now I'm pacing back and forth 
Wishing you were at my door 
I'd open up and you would say, 
"Hey, 
It was enchanting to meet you, 
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you." 

This night is flawless, don't you let it go 
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone 
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew 
I was enchanted to meet you 

 This is me praying that:
 This was the very first page 
Not where the story line ends 
My thoughts will echo your name 
Until I see you again 
These are the words I held back 
As I was leaving too soon :

I was enchanted to meet you 

 Please don't be in love with someone else...
Please don't have somebody waiting on you... 

 ........................
Bah. Who am I kidding? You were too good to be true. Dreams like this don't ever come to be.

My Proud Heart Needs Prayer

"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up." -James 4:6-10
