Further Up & Further In

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 Corinthians 4:17

Record Store Day 2016 was 🔥 (at Embassy Vinyl)

I don’t have any doubts about God or anything, it’s just me. I feel like I am constantly saying things I don’t mean. I tell people they should share their faith, but I don’t feel like sharing my faith. I tell people they should be in the Word, but I am only in the Word because I have to teach the Word. I said to a guy the other day, ‘God bless you.’ What does that mean? I have been saying that stuff all my life, but what does that mean? Then I started thinking about all the crap I say. All the cliches, all the parroted slogans. I have become an infomercial for God, and I don’t even use the product. I don’t want to be who I am anymore.

do you remember the first time you were called annoying? how your breath stopped short in your chest the way the light drained from your eyes, though you knew your cheeks were ablaze the way your throat tightened as you tried to form an argument that got lost on your tongue. your eyes never left the floor that day. you were 13. you’re 20 now, and i still see the light fade from your eyes when you talk about your interests for “too long,” apologies littering every other sentence, words trailing off a cliff you haven’t jumped from in 7 years. i could listen to you forever, though i know speaking for more than 3 uninterrupted minutes makes you anxious. all i want you to know is that you deserve to be heard for 3 minutes for 10 minutes for 2 hours forever. there will be people who cannot handle your grace, your beauty, your wisdom, your heart; mostly because they can’t handle their own. but you will never be and have never been “too much.”

If you want to be like Jesus love the unlovable, forgive the unworthy, and do good to those who can never repay you.

Today I submitted a formal request to be transferred to another site within my organization. If the request is approved, I will be able to stop working directly under a woman who makes me HELLA nervous and start working directly under someone is who is basically my spirit animal. 

PLEASE PRAY THAT THE REQUEST IS APPROVED 

I would seriously appreciate it so much. Thank you in advance. I love you all.

If the church must be anything, she must be a safe place for the gender confused & the sexually broken. & if she is not safe for that, then we do not believe our own message.
