The path that’s away from the noise of the crowds,
No popular places or spaces, or sounds.
Brings quiet to thoughts, and space to your dreams
Relieves the pressure of hearts ill at ease.
The path that is quiet; a mind, different and calm
May be the one that was right all along.
Back to the nature of soul, friend and God.
Walking away from the siren’s sick-song.
Love’s found in the spaces
where culture refrains
From oozing in every fiber and thread.
Here the soul’s no longer filled up with dread.
Here the soul can breathe, and be free again.
Come away from the noise, away from the crowd.
Take the road higher, not the way down.
Follow the road that is wise, my friend.
Follow it- all the way to the end.
A road that is different, a road that is pure.
A road that’s no easy, but a road that is sure.
Come this way,
Oh, soul that is wise.
Come higher, come higher,
Come higher and find-
A way back to Love
And the sun Where it shines.

Hey, I'm Courtney, a pretty ordinary girl who thinks we've all been called to an extraordinary life and love story with God. I'm passionate about family, faith, motherhood, and the adventure of every day. I write lots of words, mostly because I can’t help it- and I think it's one of the things I was born to do. I hope that something I write encourages you, to walk in your own unique purpose and calling, set free to love and give it away, starting wherever you are today. That's what Courting the Extraordinary is all about. Finding the good all around you, and giving it away. Finding, too, the God of all goodness who wants to walk with you.
I love quiet mornings, coffee, prayer and “work” before sunrise. Quality time with my family is my jam. I can be found grinning ear to ear when we're out on an adventure. Whether that's in our own backyard or exploring someplace new all-together, I’ll for sure note something beautiful about nature aloud-and maybe repeatedly, ha!. Life is a beautiful, precious gift, and an adventurous path to travel! We might as well learn how to love.
