O to grace how great a debtor  daily I'm constrained to be!  Let thy goodness, like a fetter,  bind my wandering heart to thee.  Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,  prone to leave the God I love;  here's my heart, O take and seal it,  seal it for thy courts above.

To each hard-won victory

Cheers to the losses that grew us up

Killed our pride, and filled our cup"

I need some mishpaha pronto

Love, Where is Your Fire?

"Love, where is your fire? I've been sitting here smoking away
making signals with sticks and odd ends and bits, but there's no sign of a flame
Imposters have been passing, offering good-feeling glow
but I'm holding out for what you are about - an inferno that burns to the bone
some urge me to be temperate, lukewarm will never do."

alright.

i am coming to terms with the fact that this season of life entails more questions than answers, more wondering than knowing, more feeling unsure than feeling confident, more trail and error than getting it right, more possibilities than actual opportunities, and is more about journey than specific direction or destination.

im ok with it because i know truth. i am confident in Jesus and His Word as truth because i experience it tangibly everyday. in the same way i believe in gravity as truth because everyday that i drop my cell phone.. it falls. except gravity doesn't have love and interaction the way Jesus does. gravity -- does not have grace.

in all my questions, wandering, wondering, doubt, trial and error, and journey the last two weeks, i started looking for truth everywhere. i started looking for truth in the world. it felt good and free for like a day... but then it lead to internal disaster. i experienced more confusion, anxiety, and fear than i have in a lonnnnnngggg time. or ever really. my soul felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. it was a cheap cheap imitation of freedom. in the end i wasnt even searching anymore.. i was just stuck.. captive to my own mind and its endless cycles.

i cried out to God though. and He heard.. and is answering. He is filling me with His presence, and with what He says is true about the way life works. i happily accept it. as i test it out... it proves itself true over and over and over and over. The Word of God NEVER fails me. There is so much about everything that i don't understand ...but its ok.

im done trying to pretend i understand everything. and i am DONE preforming for God and trying to earn gold stars for my own meaningless imaginary life chart.

however, i am not done wondering, wandering, exploring, asking, trying, and failing. i am just beginning that. i have no idea what tomorrow holds...OR if ill even be alive tomorrow. really.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you"

i am so content with His presence. i dont deserve it. it is life to my bones.

Major

FAIL!

and its only 8 am.

i am being taught. grown. stretched.

it hurts, and sometimes feels kinda imprisoning...yet it feels kinda feels good, and i think i am on the road to freedom.

(thanks myles)

i feel like i am constantly doing an extreme balancing act between thinking about the BIG picture, and focusing on the most basic tiny parts of life. i feel like im always mentally too far into one of those areas.

ohhhhhh wellll. hahahaha. i guess this is growing up?

Eritrea...

.. is a country in Africa I have never heard of. There is so much I don't know about the world I live in.

My mind has been blown over and over again lately. My perspectives on life are being constantly changed, and I am feeling smaller every day.

This is one of the best seasons of life I have ever been in. I love learning.
