"They say there is a young lady in New Haven who is beloved of that Great Being who made and rules the world. They say that He fills her mind with exceeding sweet delight, and that she hardly cares for anything except to meditate on Him. If you present all the world to her, with the riches of its treasures, she disregards it. She is unmindful of any pain of affliction. She has a singular purity in her affections. You could not persuade her to compromise her true Love even if you would give her all the world. She possesses a wonderful sweetness, calmness, and kindness to those around her. She will sometimes go about from place to place, singing sweetly. She seems to be always full of joy and pleasure, and no on knows exactly why. She loves to be alone, walking in the fields and groves, and seems to have someone invisible always conversing with her."
This is written of Sara Edwards (my new role-model) by her future husband Jonathon Edwards.
My ultimate goal, is to have that radiating beauty she had by making Christ her first priority, her source for life.
