[wordsnquotes]

Sometimes you’re 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee and listening to music that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You’re just standing there thinking about going to work and picking up your dry cleaning. And also more exciting things like books you’re reading and trips you plan on taking and relationships that are springing into existence. Or fading from your memory, which is far less exciting. And suddenly you just don’t feel at home in your skin or in your house and you just want home but ‘Mom’s’ probably wouldn’t feel like home anymore either. There used to be the comfort of a number in your phone and ears that listened everyday and arms that were never for anyone else. But just to calm you down when you started feeling trapped in a five-minute period where nostalgia is too much and thoughts of this person you are feel foreign. When you realize that you’ll never be this young again but this is the first time you’ve ever been this old. When you can’t remember how you got from sixteen to here and all the same feel like sixteen is just as much of a stranger to you now. The song is over. The coffee’s done. You’re going to breathe in and out. You’re going to be fine in about five minutes.

God has taken me through stuff. Hard stuff. Stuff I didn’t want or ask for. God has let me suffer. He has not explained why and He has not always answered my questions or my prayers. I don’t understand His methods, but I believe He loves me. Sometimes, in the darkest moments, the only thing I have to cling to is the fact that Jesus died for me; but if that were the only evidence I had for His love, it would be enough.

so hard.

Realized I was brother's age when everything happened. And oh man, he seemed so young when all this took place. How we got this far is beyond me.

As this week coincides with passion week, it makes it even harder to remember the work on the cross. That it declared "it is finished" and His eternal love was poured out onto the whole world. I am still learning and growing in the relentless pursuit.

belated, but I am thinking of you much.

God has been challenging me to trust Him with the things on my plate at the moment. no new unexpected things coming in, but with the two things I struggle with putting at Gods feet, He is gently pushing me

I think people would be happier if they admitted things more often. In a sense we are all prisoners of some memory, or fear, or disappointment—we are all defined by something we can’t change.

belated, but looking toward yr 3. looking not necessarily with an expectant heart, but expecting nonetheless

"if the stars are made to worship, so will I" - 2018 mantra (hopefully)

2017 such a roller coaster. it's amazing how each year has its exclusive collection of highs and lows.

heart has been v heavy past couple of days and its the usual mix of words that deny affirmation for what i want and desire to appease my selfish/excruciatingly yearning heart. but understanding that without the Word, prayer doesn't rly have a root. it hasn't even been that cold so seasonal depression is out of consideration drats

always sorry to u but always hopeful
