Rain Walks & Romance

Yesterday Cassie and I decided to go "against the grain" and take a stroll through the gray, misty drizzles the sky provided. As we climbed over murky hills, skipped through muddy puddles, and slid down a few gravel slopes, we were laughing at our crazy life together. Never have we ever had the aspiration to do things like walking through the rain or constructing a pinecone circle in the center of an "enchanting forrest." These would all be considered silly or "childish" to the typical "adults" of modern society, but Cassie and I aren't like the those adults. We are special. We have a special relationship that only God truly understands. We are two young women who happen to love spending time together doing everything. We spent the morning drinking coffee, eating carrots, reading books by Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott, and discussing romance.

We laughed at how both authoresses seemed to drag a bit in their story telling, but all in all, are splendid writers of romance and love. We loved how they each captured the whimsy side and the repulsive side. We read about the scandals that were involved and the adventures that took place, and thought of how the stories from back then are compatible with today's standards of living and loving.

It's a fascinating thing, love. To us, to love is to live. To live is to treasure every moment; to love every moment. This rain walk revealed a great thing about us. Nothing, not even a rainy day could ruin our fun. Nothing could prevent us from smiling or laughing. Nothing could stop us from loving life. Love is a powerful thing. Friendship is a powerful thing. Both make one incredible relationship.

To have this type of relationship with my sister is such a privilege. We love each other and we will always be there for one another. It's like a sisterly romance; it would be a bromance if we were men. Reading classic novels make us dream about love, and how perfect God's love is. How His love overpowers everything.

We felt His love yesterday. In the raindrops. In the dirt. In the warm, humid breeze. We felt His love through scent of pine, and rich flowers growing around us. We feel His love everywhere we go, within everything we do. It's important to feel that.

It's important to love.

Love,
