One Face, please

On october 17, 2014 I mentioned that I had spent too much time fighting myself to hold on to friendships that I barely had. Well, I let them go. I don't really have friends anymore. But I don't have that distraction either. I have time to focus on joy. I have time to focus on loving others and loving myself. And most importantly, I have time to focus on the Source of hope, joy, love, peace, and life. 

In all seriousness, I've never seen God move so powerfully through removing these people from my life. When He moves, you know. It will stir up joy your heart like nothing you've ever felt. It strengthens your faith. It increases your knowledge and love for who He really is. 

Thank you, Lord, for everything You are. 

Summer 2015: day 1

It's not always easy wearing your

Heart on your sleeve.

You laugh a lot,

But sometimes you get angry. 

Sometimes you just have to cry. 

And you cry,

And you cry,

And you think someone hears you.

But if they do,

They've got a real way of showing it

Without you knowing. 

Something about transition makes you vulnerable,

Uncomfortable,

And terrified of every tomorrow. 

You punch as hard as you can

You fight to suppress the sounds of your tears dropping on the blanket

But sometimes you must let them go.

And if anyone knows,

They've got a way of showing it

Without you knowing. 

You set your hopes high enough,

You just might get it right this time,

But this world is not your home. 

It's not always easy to believe.

It's not always easy being free. 

It's not always easy to be.
