hungry

i've discovered i have an insatiable hunger for the things i can't have.
which would be okay if God was unattainable.

accomplished

it's impossible for me to comprehend that in my 20 years of life, i have accomplished so much more than i ever thought i would. and this is only the beginning. a degree under my belt, graduation in may, 2 recordings, a song being chosen for a school project, touring the US with a bible school worship team that just wants to spread the kingdom...and i think i have a pathetic life. who am i to second guess what the Lord has blessed me with?! thank you, God, for making sure that my life never had even a chance of being mediocre. i'm achieving greatness only by your grace and I will not forget. can this be the launching point? can this be the beginning?

it was a cold, chilly day in november when she said goodbye. through her many tears, she dejectedly uttered, "nostalgia just isn't enough anymore. i just want to love AND be loved. why is that so difficult to ask?" as he stumbled over his words trying to think of an adequate response, he came to the staggering realization that she was right. he had never really taken the time to love HER. she turned her back on him and began to walk away, each step driving the knife of goodbye deeper into his side.
as she walked away, each step a painful process of denying the very thing she wanted, she knew this couldn't be the end or she might die. she was so in love with him, every inch of who he was, every part of his being...and he had no idea. nor had he cared enough to find out. he was bored with her because she wasn't good at playing hide-and-seek with her feelings. and now her heart was the door prize - turned - doormat.


friendship gained, friendship lost.

there are murmurs of the past echoing in my ears
calling out, hoping to reach some sort of canal
hoping to make sense to me
but i'm not making out the syllables anymore

maybe i'm too far ahead to reach back and
bring the past to my present.

i love God the most because...

He's faithful, even on Mondays. :)
