accidentally in love

People say that you can't choose who you fall in love with and I think that is so true. There are many things we didn't choose in this life, but they happened because God made it that way. 

For two years now, I have been praying to go to the Congo. I don't know why, maybe it was just because I sensed a great need there in my soul. But after speaking to more and more people here, it seemed more and more to be like a silly idea. Just some big talk from a little girl. Everyone told me that I was courting death to go there and slowly, I wondered not only if I would ever go, but if I dared to go after all. Was it all a lie? Was I the Peter who told Jesus he would never deny him and then deny him three times in the next moment? I don't know because my faith had never really been tested to that point. 

When I went to Kenya, I met amazing people, people who shared my dreams, people who would dream anything for God and could work to make it a reality. As we said goodbye, the thoughts of me going to the Congo floated in my mind that maybe one day, just one day. One day in the distant future. 

Then, last night, my friend texted me to say that they were planning a trip in 2 months' time and asked if I wanted to go. I immediately began bouncing off the walls of my house and I could have danced all night. The next morning, I was telling all my friends, shouting it from the rooftops. As I sat there thinking about it, I would beam to myself and didn't care if people thought I was crazy. When I picked my dad up from the airport, the first thing he said to me was, 'I have never seen you so happy.' 

And I immediately thought, this must be what it feels like. The feeling of being head over heels in love, how a girl must feel when she gets engaged, how the Israelites felt when they heard they were going to the promised land. The skies have never been bluer, the stars never brighter and the moon never more beautiful. That feeling of floating on air and to think you could never come down. To be so giddy and dizzy and it doesn't matter what the world thinks. My family constantly talk about me getting married and finding a partner to love me, but I am love with God's calling. God has found me and I could never ever be happier than I am now.

I don't know what this trip will hold and perhaps there will be dangers ahead, but I have no doubts at all that God has something great planned on this upcoming trip. He will do something exciting and I just have got to be there to see and experience it. 

Accidentally in love

So she said what's the problem baby

What's the problem I don't know 

Well maybe I'm in love (love) 

Think about it every time

I think about it

Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this

Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love) 

Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love 

Come on, come on 

Turn a little faster

Come on, come on 

The world will follow after

Come on, come on 

Cause everybody's after love

So I said I'm a snowball running 

Running down into the spring that's coming all this love 

Melting under blue skies 

Belting out sunlight 

Shimmering love 

Well baby I surrender 

To the strawberry ice cream

Never ever end of all this love

Well I didn't mean to do it 

But there's no escaping your love

These lines of lightning 

Mean we're never alone, 

Never alone, no, no 

Come on, Come on

Move a little closer 

Come on, Come on

I want to hear you whisper

Come on, Come on 

Settle down inside my love

Come on, come on 

Jump a little higher

Come on, come on

If you feel a little lighter

Come on, come on 

We were once

Upon a time in love

Come on, come on

Spin a little tighter

Come on, come on 

And the world's a little brighter

Come on, come on 

Just get yourself inside her 

Love ...I'm in love
