There’s a disconnect between who I am,
and who you’ve made me to be.
I try to pay for my freedom –
but your sacrifice has already made me free.

poem // the traveler
the river flows where no one knows,
except the river’s maker.
a traveler walks along its shores,
convinced to go wherever it will take her.
poem // all that i am
i’ve seen all that i am
through the eyes of a Savior.
not a burden or a bother —
but a daughter, highly favored.
poem // in due time
in due time, i will uncover
the purpose i was made to discover.
but for now, i’ll stay hidden under the covers —
pretending that the world is kind.
poem // shine
i think i see you now —
face to face in time.
with eyes of fire, yet kind
yearning to stop the madness, to remind —
that you’ve already broken the chains that bind.
poem // love slow
love slow, sweet one –
for there is so much you’ll miss
if you live with no pace –
there’s much more to life than this.
Magnify your Mountain
Celebrate the victories when there are victories +
mourn the losses when there are losses –
life is but a battle between the turns and the tosses.
I keep a journal, as most 20-somethings do. As someone who writes everything down, I love to look back on them and see both my triumphs and trials. Journals are a place to see growth, a written roadmap through every victory and every loss. I hold them close, as if letting them go would nullify the experience. They are the physical representation of every scar and strength I have.
flipping tables + changing things
I was asked this week the question, “What tables would Jesus overturn if he walked into your church? Your life?” Immediately a few things came to mind, what I would consider “obvious” things in our society that Jesus wouldn’t be the happiest with. But as I was reading through John today, I was slapped upside the head with something that got thrust to the top of my list.
Why I Got a Tattoo
There are many reasons to get a tattoo. One is because you want to remember something, one is you want to be cool, one is everyone else is doing it, and one is because no one else is doing it. I’m sure there are many others, but those are the ones I can think of. But they aren’t mine.
