some things can be so refreshing, the kind of refreshing the makes you long for more, you can't quite get enough, never will you get enough, yet you keep drinking because every drink is just as good as the last, and the funny thing is you never get tired of it.

oh yes, the funny thing is you never get tired of it
never get tired of it

I awoke heavy  

Posted by Lauren


I awoke heavy
and heavy I prayed,
face in the sun
heart in the shade.
As smoke hangs low
on a sullen day,
my prayer hung there...
till I heard His voice,
"This is the day
that the Lord hath made;
...Rejoice...

~ Ruth Bell Graham


isn't it funny how God put things in your path that relates to your situation and speaks to your heart.

funny isn't it?

What is love?
love is kind and patient, and always enduring
love is a smile. it is warmth and ecstasy
love is laughter and joy
but the greatest part of love is found in death
"no greater love hath any man"
The dance of the dead 1959

In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

I love Psalm 103. You should read it.

I love writing long letters. You should write one.

I love the satisfation of reading a great book. You should read one.

I love being random with a friend. You should do it.

I love grassy hills. You should roll down one.

I love the thought of Paradise. You should close your eyes and try and imagine it.

"I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing
in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."

Oh death, where is thy sting

And love is like a landslide,
Like the wind, spins around me,
pulls me in, at it's unveiling, I begin

Streams of mercy never ceasing...

not puddles, no ponds that sit and grow old
but fresh new water streaming

streaming mercy
mercy to a sinner
mercy to me, a sinner

streams of mercy never ceasing

I've reacted without love when I should have stopped and begged for grace that I know would have been granted. Inside I was at conflict with everything. Questioning, doubting, turning around when I needed to walk on straight ahead.

the relationship with my creator was diminished
i'm taking it back up now


i need to go and ask forgivness from a number one person in my life, my pride says don't, my God tells me yes
Go child, go, run, embrace mercy and freedom.
Run

frustration  

Posted by Lauren


The room was now yellow and gleamed sunshine, but my unlikely corner poured.



i want something so bad, but i know i will never get it the way i am trying
plunging head first and dieing to myself
but i want both without having to work for it
for a moment i thought i could actually achieve it
now i know i can't


The mystery of Your love
oh, how you could love such a sinner

Take all my cravings for vain recognition
Fleshly indulgence and worldly ambition
I want so much Lord to make You the focus
To serve You in secret and never be noticed

Take all my hunger for all that’s forbidden
Every desire and sin I keep hidden
Search me and know me I want to bring to You
A life that is holy and sanctified through You

sometimes God takes things away....and you can't get them back

live life like it is your last, we are not promised tomorrow, or even our next breath
they are all gifts

blessed be Your name

There is a love that never fails, there is a healing that always prevails


there is a love that never fails no matter how angry i am, how impossible, how ugly, no matter how hard my heart is.

It never never fails

There is a healing that always prevails, no matter how tired i am, how broken, how confused, how upset, no matter how i feel.
It never never fails


No matter how bad the day i know i can find rest in Jesus Christ my Savior, my friend, my comfort.

So when i am struggling or confused....were better to turn?
Here I am, take all of me
