it's crazy... how we put our whole lives into something, devoting every ounce of our heart and soul into it until we're left with the results we want...the results we never get. but, maybe that's just it. maybe the reason those devotions don't satisfy is because they never really were meant to? maybe our devotions should lie elsewhere...lie somewhere where can't even begin to comprehend. suppose our devotion in life isn't anything selfish...anything that gives us gain, but rather surrender. and in those moments our devotions and dreams don't work, maybe it's merely because they aren't the right ones to set our eyes on. -Julia Aubrey Rhodes-
