open your eyes
you’re always waiting
for the next best thing
spinning and swimming
in your fond memories
but life is here
and you’re a million miles

that greets me with hello
a stranger’s smile
mums
and piles of wood by a fire’s glow
and i am...

someone who will enthuse with and/or for me.
Socially, there’s no range of reactions more dispiriting than perceiving that you have been mentally/silently reprimanded for your earnest disposition, vivacity, or readiness for life.
Where have all the alive people disappeared to? Oh, that’s right - they’re too busy doing things!
Please!

lots of love in the OC today, everyone!
Giggly grin at work because I’m trying to keep my cool but can’t because I’M SO DANG HAPPY, YOU GUYS.

My soul melts from heaviness; strengthen me according to Your word.

Self-Awareness
Matthew 11:28: Come to me…and I will give you rest.
God intends for us to live a well-rounded life in Christ Jesus, but there are times when that life is attacked from the outside. Then we tend to fall back into self-examination, a habit that we thought was gone. Self-awareness is the first thing that will upset the completeness of our life in God, and self-awareness continually produces...

I’m currently reading “Celebration of Discipline” by Richard J. Fox.
Be prepared for lots of quotes.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me; your rod and staff comfort me. - Psalm 23:4
In one of the most applicable and powerful pieces of information about a shepherd’s staff in this passage, was the learning that in extreme cases where the sheep would continue to wander and the shepherd would - time after time- have to go after it,...

I love my God, and that the truth is so readily accessible and not shrouded in mystery. Don’t get me wrong: the magnitude of the greatness and vastness of God’s beauty and existence is ultimately incomprehensible. But, that’s due to just how great He is compared to the capacity of our understanding, not because He withholds truth from us.
