Take me and pull me through because I can’t move without You. ‘I won’t leave you alone,’ You say.

I was born in the rainiest city in the country.
Luckily, I love the rain. I always have.
And I think I always will.

I have made mistakes, I continue to make them
the promises I’ve made, I continue to break them
and all the doubts I’ve faced, I continue to face them
but nothing is a waste if you learn from it
and the sun, it does not cause us to grow
it is the rain that will strengthen, the rain that will strengthen your soul
and it will make you whole
we have lived in fear, and our fear has betrayed us
but we will overcome the apathy that has made us
because we are not alone in the dark with our demons
and we have made mistakes
but we’ve learned from them
and the sun, it does not cause us to grow
it is the rain that will strengthen, the rain that will strengthen your soul
and it will make you whole
and oh my heart, how can I face you now?
when we both know how badly I have let you down
and I am afraid of all that I’ve built
fading away

I love the rain.
It makes me want to dance.
the person who invented the phrase ‘happily ever after’ should have his ass kicked. SO HARD.
i’m gleaning a lot of from all the grey’s anatomy i’ve been watching these days.
please please pray for one of my best friend @rmiraboyd’s 6th grade science students. this sweet girl has been missing since last night and there is currently no known information about her whereabouts. please please pray for her safe return home and for the Lord’s provision for her and for her family.

I think the hardest truth for me to swallow is that God is God.
He gets to do what He wants, when He wants, how He wants.
I hate that. In this moment, I really hate that. So much. I’m so angry that that’s how He operates. He isn’t swayed by my petty emotional manipulations and He isn’t moved by my internal assaults on His character or my tendency to doubt and question everything He does or my demands that He change everything I dislike about my life.
He knows who He is.
God being God is the most basic truth there is. It will always trump any attempt of mine to act otherwise. It will always be the answer to my question. It will always be final. It will always stand. It will always be true.
Always.
I’m just really glad He’s good. Entirely good. I really am. Because otherwise, death would have overtaken me. Literally and figuratively, in every way.
God isn’t moved by my attempts to control him and the violent pendulum swing of my emotions.
But He is moved by me.
Come thou fount of every blessing,
O please, please tune my heart to sing thy grace.

this is written by one of the most beautiful people that i’ve ever met. if you’ve seen her, you might think i’m referring to the way she looks. if you know her, you know that that isn’t remotely to what i’m referring. this blog post brought me to tears and to the much needed reminder that to live life to the full, to live in this broken, messy, sometimes not so clear, what-should-i-even-do-next life, is to live life with your whole heart.
you are the most joyful person i know, jamie hooper fernandez.
‘It is true that relationships are a whole lot messier than rules, but rules will never give you answers to the deep questions of the heart and they will never love you.’
some days i’d just rather have a rulebook. but everyday i’m thankful to have Love.
People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
mother teresa. i think she might rival solomon as the wisest person who ever lived. i want to grow up to be like her.
