joy.

get joy. it's necessary. without joy, you'll die.


you'll suffocate.

"a merry heart makes a cheerful countenance,
but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken."
Proverbs 15:13


Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS.

so they're married. i can still hardly believe it's real.



the fact that i'm exhausted and slept like a baby reminds me of the long, hectic, but fun and happy day. so i know it's real.

this is sometimes how i feel.

i write clever words on paper
i sometimes think i dont belive at all
ive never felt so fake
so false
im such a liar
i couldnt even look him in the eyes
he was 25 like i was
but he was deaf and slowly going blind
he made my faith seem worthless
the things i hoped were pointless
and he fought to stay but
always dreamed that he could leave this place

the angels wings will cover you tonight
hallelujah
press your head
against the breast of christ
hallelujah

It made me feel so empty
collapsing on some dirty bathroom floor
and isn't it just like me to warn his passing breath
when he will never suffer anymore
beautiful his pictures
fading black and silver
and i sing of faith but his was true and fierce
and i will miss him

the angels wings will cover you tonight
hallelujah
press your head against the breast of christ
hallelujah

the angels wings will cover you tonight
hallelujah
press your head against the breast of christ
hallelujah

happy sigh.

it's interesting to listen to someone tune a piano. that's what i'm doing right now.


it's very satisfying to hear two notes played together go from making you cringe to sounding perfectly in tune.



i wonder if that's how God feels when He points out things in our lives and we repent of them. and strive to live righteous before Him.

it can hurt when God tries to tune us by His Word. but the result can be wonderful if we let God work.

God is good.

Happy Thanksgiving.

"Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!
Laud Him, all you peoples!
For His merciful kindness is great toward us,
And the truth of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord!"
-Psalm 117

a year.

I was just thinking about Thanksgiving this weekend.

And I realized that on Sunday, it will be one year since I started this blog. This year has been such a long year, and yet it was also so short.

It would be interesting to read all of my posts from the past year. In thinking about all the things I have to thank God for this year, reading things that I wrote about over the past year will help me in remembering all the things I've gone through. All the good times. All the bad times.

another song.

by 4HIM.

Anyone who comes to You
Anyone at all
With arms wide open
Anyone who reaches out
Anytime at all
With a heart that's broken
You will be their shelter
You will have an answer
For anyone who ever cries out
In need

I believe
There You will be

I stand on Your promise
Your love is forever
And I believe with all my heart
You are my one and only Savior
You are the calm when my world falls apart
And to the ends of the earth
And for the rest of my life
I'll carry the light

Anytime I turn to You
Anytime at all
I find You waiting
Waiting for the chance to help me
Hold me, heal me
Show me
Just how amazing life can be
When you know what it is
To be free
To be free

Over the mountains
Into the valleys
Crossing the oceans
I'll carry the light
And through the darkness
And to all the hopeless
For all the broken


Thank You Jesus!

gloria.

Gloria, in excelces deo. 
Glory, gloria. 
 
Too weak to wonder, 
too tired to care, 
Jesus Christ, are you really there? 
I've fallen down, 
Can't pull myself back up. 
I'm going to drown, have mercy, 
Have mercy. 
 
I need you now, 
Not words or a feeling. 
But Jesus Christ, 
I've hit the ceiling. 
 
Your love, 
Your mercy, 
Your light unending. 
Your hope, 
Your peace, 
Your strength my heart is mending.
