So Close by Bethany Dillon
I’m so close to being so far away from You
I was wrong, but it takes so much to say it to You
Like a broken husband and wife
Who never talk but share their nights
I’m so close to being so far away from You
I have nothing when I’m living apart from You
Outside, creation groans
To lose our darkness and be made whole
For my feet are close to slipping….
Speak to my heart in...
What does it mean to deserve something?
I get the negative end of the spectrum. Like when the bad guy gets pushed off a cliff and the audience is like, “yeah! He had that coming, he deserved that.”
But what does it mean to be the daughter of a King and to deserve the most beautiful, wonderful things? I don’t have an answer to this question… yet.
Do yourself a favor,
and go check out Erin McCarley’s cd called Love, Save the Empty.
Far too often I change the phrase “think before you speak” to “think. (and I don’t speak)”
Most of the time it’s not a good thing.

keep fighting.
for whatever you’re fighting for.

Isaiah 62:1-5
For so long I have asked You to speak to me, to take delight in me, to take me into Your arms. For so long You have done these things and I haven’t realized or wanted to realize that You long for me to open my eyes and heart to you. And to the fact that you love me.
There is nothing that I could do to make You love me more or less than You already do.
The same goes to anyone who reads...
“Just because I messed up once upon a time doesn’t mean I can’t live...”
– Me.
