CLASPED SO TIGHT

I feel so weak sometimes. But my answer shall always be you.

Old is gold.

[firesandtimbers]

This fatigue makes me feel so far removed from you. I have surely lost that precious sense of wonder.

[firesandtimbers]

All these pieces Broken and scattered In mercy gathered Mended and whole

---

We are all broken pieces, in need of saving.

Your jealous eyes have captured me, and your voice gentle like water. I'm falling in love with you all over again, like swimming in new oceans.

Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. (‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭2‬ NLT) The law of Christ always goes back to love. Love is never optional when it comes to Christianity. May my heart expand for others, stretched out like a trampoline, as I seek to mirror your sacrificial, laid-down love.

In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit.

Sometimes I wish I could drop everything, curl up in a cave and sleep forever.

It's crazy to think how you're so in love with me, especially when you see straight through me — the knots, the cracks, the faithlessness.

你是值得等待的。

Take your everyday, ordinary life– your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life–and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God.

[Romans 12:1-2, The Message]

"God give me patience to see that within the chaos, there is room to dream."
