"The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help.
He rescues them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
he rescues those whose spirits are crushed."
-Psalm 34:17-18
"Your wings are holding up the sky
Dear God, I dreamt that I could fly
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
I am the worst of all things here
My crooked, black, and lying heart still spits its bitter fear
And each and every sparrow
They flutter to the ground before they die
So please God don't forget me
See from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
To Christ, who won for sinners' grace
By bitter grief and anguish sore
Be praise from all the ransomed race
Forever and forevermore"
Your cross.
Your love.
My words are empty.
My heart is broken.
Abba.
Father.
How can You love one such as me?
Thank you for your grace, for my friends and the faith family shielding me...thank you for letting me be here in this moment...the pain is so much but thank you Father.
Thank you for the good, the bad and horrible...thank you for those who love me and have carried me this far...please help me return their love a thousand fold.
Thank you.
My tears, prayers and work will never be enough...so help me learn how to rest and let things be and worship You.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Quote of the Day:
"Accepting the reality of our sinfulness means accepting our authentic self. Judas could not face his shadow; Peter could. The latter befriended the impostor within; the former raged against him."
