Dear First Love

Literature / Prose / Non-Fiction / Letters

_{Dear First (and future) love.

Hi there… by the time you read this we will know other, we will love each other unconditionally. I’m pretty sure the day I hand this letter to you you will understand why I wrote it. As I write this you are a stranger (well, kinda anyway, I don’t know your age, your eye color, your name or if your parents are still around. But I do know you are out there waiting for me like I am waiting for you.) I’ve prayed for you all my life, every night before bed as dad tucked me in. When I was thirteen, or fourteen, I wrote my prayer for you down, then I’d read Proverbs 31. ‘A wife of noble character.’ ‘Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.’
I do not seek to be praised but I do desire to please the Lord and to love you until my dying day like no other woman has ever loved her man, the way God created me to do.
You are my first love, even though I have (am currently loving) another man, he is merely helping me understand how powerful my love for you will become.
You will unlock me to another realm of love (Godly love) God will use you to throw open the doors of my heart to make me reach new heights, new God given horizons.
We will be a force (like dynamite) for the Army of God, we will be each others arm of encouragement (in faith) through this life. I may fall and stumble, I may learn and love along the way to get to you, to be my best for you. But for as long as I can remember you have been, and will always be my first love.
As I finish this letter I listen to the beautiful song from Anthem Lights ‘Hide your love away’ and I’m sorry, truly sorry, I failed at fully hiding my love away, but when I confess it to you I pray you understand and know that I’m speaking the truth when I say I have waited, I am waiting for the day. I love you, with a love I do not yet understand, a love I sometimes fear to feel, for how can a single heart feel that overwhelming? How can it be that full and complete? And I know we will feel that, that my love for you will be like none other.
That power of love is scary, but I wait for it, long for it. For you.

Signed your future wife, Jamie Gandy.

P.S Some women write journals to their future husbands, but I’ve never been one to journal nor to pour out my heart. I’d rather wait for you to be here in person to do that.
For my heart is already yours, but until you are here I hope this will help you understand how much you’ve been loved and prayed for over my lifetime.}

There is a God

_{There is a God,
no mystery about it.
Just look into the sky,
and you'll see.
Touch the mountain peak,
and you'll see.
Just take a breath,
hold deep then exhale.
And you'll see that,
there is a God.

He's in the laugh of every baby,
the glorying smile on their faces.
In the heart of each child,
dancing with innocence through the sprinklers.

He's holding that woman up in her pain.
Giving that man strength in his trials.
Speaking words of life into the hopeless,
shining light into the darkness.

He is God.

He is the whisper in the wind,
calling out your name.
He is the Eye in the storm,
waiting for you to call out to Him.
He's everything you need,
you just need to realize it is Him.

There is a God,
and He is everywhere.
In the oceans tide,
in the gull's cry,
in the fires blaze,
in the clouds rain.
in your hearts song.

There is a God.}

To you lovely Virgin

_{To you lovely Virgin.

When their taints and mockery grows chaotic,
Take Purity's hand and let her lead you to Serenity.
Dear Virgin your innocence is more precious than pleasure.
Your heart matters far more than his lies of love within dirty kisses.
You, dear child hold your head high when they call you 'Virgin.'
For they mock you because they are far worse than a ^{cockroach-covered} trash bag.
Wanting you to join their way of inward suicide, dying daily by their own mistakes.
Dear young Precious Virgin you are a treasured gem among darkened used coals.

Your truth, patience abstinence is a light in this darkness.
To each truth, to each light the darkness longs to crush it, crush you.
Dance dear child, for you are far greater, far braver and stronger than all of ^them.
Because you, dear Virgin, waited when everyone else told you otherwise.
You faced the storm of chaos, endured tribulation for no one else but for you.
Dear beloved soul, you have won. So never let the world make you think you haven't.
Only when you fall to their ways of greed and thievery have you lost what matters most.
Your Innocence, Your Purity.}

To protectTo protect the Thing within me,
Setting a shield around It.
Binding It tightly in my grip,
Claiming to myself, to others;
That It is built, formed, growing in me.
I'll give my life, to simply hold It,
I'll give It all of me.
To see It face to face,
For Its birth will be beyond belief.To protect by *Christianonfire7

Fearful
                 It struck like a match,
           Flaring through me instantly.
Making me feel so cold, so numb and sick inside.
    Darkness that surrounded me from all sides
   Emptying me, making me feel utterly alone.

The day dusk did not sleep

The day dusk did not sleep.

You stepped into my life when those bullies haunted me,
You stood in front of me and clenched your fist.
Told them to back off and leave me alone,
They feared you, so they obeyed your warning.
Once they were gone you turned to me,
Took my hand and helped me up.
Then looked into my eyes,
And captured me with your smile.

That was the day the mountains shook,
The day when the oceans went silent.
When time stood still for the very first time.
When the colors in the sky didn't change from that golden ray,
painted with those pinks and purples.
It was the day dusk did not sleep.

You slide your hand in mine,

And praise how I love Him so.

To show Him that I mean each line.
I rage about sin in a holy confession…

I'm the sinner needing Salvation.
I down talk the other sins,
But mine is the biggest.
For it consumes my very being.
Tick tock…tick tock…

'I love him.' I try to tell God,
Like that would make Him understand.
That He can bypass me and my shame.

INT. ON A HILLTOP IN THE MOUNTIANS - COLD NIGHT.

Forest of trees stretch on all sides of a steep grassy hill; the wind blows through the trees, echoing a whistle across the dark starry night. A lone owl hovers overhead a few seconds before disappearing into the thicket beyond the branches.

Sarah (16) stirs in the saddle of a large black sleet stallion horse. He neighs restlessly and paws at the ground but holds his position on the height of the hill, alert.

Suddenly a horse and rider trots forward from the shadowed trail until the moonlit sky brings them into light. The horse climbs effortlessly up the hill and halts next to the

Happiness?

Note Me | Gallery

_{It's been a long while since I've written a journal, I've thought about it lately but never really knew what to say, if it'd make any real difference.
Which it likely won't.

At the beginning of last month I got my first paying Photography gig from a friend who I volunteered my services for during April for National Poetry Writing Month at the studio I'm apart of. She does a Spoken Word Showcase and for the past four years I've been one of the film people for it (I've also helped her out countless of times before filming for her.) This year, because I have an amazing new camera, I was both the photographer and one of the videographers. After the three day event of filming poets I gave her the photos at the end of the last day. Which the last photographer who did the last two years still hasn't given her the pictures.
So she hired me for a special event that she put together for pastors she knows (all speck spanish).

Another family friend who I've actively volunteered filming for in the past has gotten me two paying photography gigs for this month. One is this coming Saturday for some Juneteenth parade, it's not much but still. Then there's another one at the end of the month, the 29th, that the Travis County Republican Party is paying me to be the photographer for their parade. This same friend pushed to get me as the photographer and they easily accepted.
Sometimes it really pays off doing a bit of volunteer work for someone to get your name out there.

So last week I ordered some of my very own business cards, using my photo as the design. I got it a few days ago, and oh my gosh they look so amazing! I look like some professional now. (Some would say if you are getting paying gigs that makes you professional, but I don't quite see myself that...high up there right now.)

It's amazing the things you have to endure, that you have to struggle through to get a small piece of reaching your dreams. It's never, ever, easy to stick to your guns and push through all the hard times, to ignore the people who want to knock you down, those who tell you that you can never do it, never reach your biggest dreams and desires.
Screw them, because what do they know? They are normally the cowards who were too scared or weak to go after what they really wanted, so they take it out on you because they are too jealous of your goals, of your courage to push onward.
Or they think you should settle for a caged surrounding, working a job that makes you unhappy when in realty you deserve your dreams coming true. As a song I love says 'Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive, then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive, who have found their passion.' -Jaeson Ma-
I've found my passion, what brings me meaning and joy.

Now here's a question for you all.
How do you define happiness?
When someone we love tells us we deserve to be happy and yet they know they aren't the happiness we really need, how do we listen to that when our heart tells us otherwise?
It's not an easy thing to hear and it's an even harder thing to think about because then we are surrendering our heart to the real truth of what happiness is about.
Are you truly, completely, one 100% happy?
I'd like to say he's wrong, that he is the happiness I desire, and in many ways that is a golden truth, but as I think about it, as I dwell and dig into what makes me truly happy. I find out he's right.
He makes me happy, he strokes the strings on my guitar to make so many fountains of joy spring forth inside of me. And though I can not contain the depths and abundance of it I know it isn't full, it isn't unlimited.
It's got border lines I can't cross and can't soak in.
So how do we define happiness?
We must first seek what we know as truth.

If love is like that so is our passion for what we do in life, be it photography, videography and writing like it is for me. Or if it's playing football/baseball or drawing to bring awareness to something that is truly important to you. Whatever it is that brings you purpose, brings you joy, go for it with all of your heart. I promise you it WON'T be easy, you will likely go through so many down moments with thoughtless people telling you that you can't do it, but I challenge you to prove them that you CAN do it. Because if I can, you can too.

On a random note, I commissioned my VERY BEST friend for a Lion of Judah piece with my first 'paying' commission and she did an absolutely amazing job with it. I can't wait to hang it on my wall when she sends it to me!
She's such an amazing person, friend and artist. I love her SO much.

I'll finish this with a little showcase of my photography recently submitted to my photography account
