I had this feeling, deep down.
didn't want to admit it was there,
or maybe I didn't really know it was there.

just a feeling that something wasn't right

I learned a lot of things today
and it left me thinking
the kind of thinking you do when you question something

It made me extremely grateful for my family.
No matter how crazy, I love them.
Because humanly speaking they will always be there for me
No matter what.

You know that statement I made a while back...

"I have come to realize that hearts are complex and we’re all liars."

I think that was todays key phrase.
it's amazing what you think through, when you have nothing to do but think.

and if you ask me about this post, i'll probably just chuckle. Go ahead, give it a try.

1 Corinthians 13

"Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror: then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."

Lies shattered
Face uncovered
Wall of protection torn down
Deceit revealed


and we will dance, dance on the golden streets



Now the daylight flees...

I had a wonderful evening.
really wonderful.
Joy is in the eye of the beholder.
Father, you are so good!

Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus,
I behold Thee as Thou art,
And Thy love, so pure, so changeless,
Satisfies my heart;
Satisfies its deepest longings,
Meets, supplies its every need,
Compasseth me round with blessings:
Thine is love indeed!

Jesus, I am resting, resting,
In the joy of what Thou art;
I am finding out the greatness
Of Thy loving heart.

Ever lift Thy face upon me
As I work and wait for Thee;
Resting ’neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus,
Earth’s dark shadows flee.
Brightness of my Father’s glory,
Sunshine of my Father’s face,
Keep me ever trusting, resting,
Fill me with Thy grace.

Afraid? Of what?
To feel the spirit's glad release?
To pass from pain to perfect peace,
The strife and strain of life to cease?
Afraid- of that?

Afraid? Of what?
Afraid to see the Savior's face
To hear his welcome, and to trace
The glory gleam from wounds of grace?
Afraid- of that?

Afraid? Of what?
A flash, a crash, a pierced heart;
Darkness, light, O Heaven's art!
A wound of his a counterpart!
Afraid- of that?

Afraid? of what?
To do by death what life could not
Baptize with blood a stony plot,
Till souls shall blossom from the spot?
Afraid- Of that?

No one to fear him. No one to revere him. No one to hear him. No one to think about him.

He who had claimed to be savior was forever without a savior. Ignored and insignificant. Empty and embittered and regretful. Without a following. Without a heart. Without a hope.

Forever, time without end.

Broken but singing
Our hearts keep shining
