    Wherever You Are

    Cry Out to Jesus

    ...from today.

    realization?

    i feel as if i am standing alone
    i look from side-to-side
    and see many roads
    leading off into...
    ...into bittersweetness.
    but ultimately, leading off into
    continuing pain. and incompleteness.

    this road, or that one
    they are all unappealing.
    i can't walk down them.
    everything inside of me protests. everything.
    but, these are my options
    and it's like there is no hope for a better road
    no hope for a better way.
    basically, no happy ending.

    so the only thing left to do
    is to look straight up.
    forget the roads surrounding me
    and simply turn my head up,
    close my eyes, begin walking,
    and trust.
    trust that God will create a new path
    even as my steps are continuing.
    this path is one i probably will never see
    but it's one i can walk on
    if He is guiding me.
    because He said there is always a way out.
    always.

    how can it be April already?

    - I have decided I am going to transfer to Mississippi College in the fall
    - I am going to stop working at Stat Care as of next week
    - The Belize trip is coming up after graduation (yay!)
    - then summer camp (fun.... :) )
    - and I'm pretty much keeping myself afloat in school
    - of course, Psychology and I really aren't getting along...but what else is new.
    - the weather occasionally has promise of creating a beautiful day
    - today, however, it doesn't
    - everything is GREEN, though!
    - I'm kind of on Facebook more than Xanga now
    - It's hard to believe that school will be over in 4.5 weeks
    - ha!
    - I'm pretty happy with life, though
    - I mean, considering I have a Physics Term Paper to write, Organic labs to do, tests all the time, etc, etc
    - but, yeah...
    - sometimes I wonder what God is up to, though.....
    - I think I'll go on a walk before diving into Physics
    - 'later

    What a Heart Is Beating For
    By Chris Rice

    newsflash [a dedication to you, my friend]

    another soldier dies
    after a brave fight
    the picture is on the screen
    but all I see is you
    because what if that were you?
    what if you died over there?
    it makes me stop
    and think
    my imagination runs….

    someone in their truck
    another bottle in their hand
    loses control of the wheel
    after losing control of their mind
    slams into the car
    smashing it
    along with the driver.
    unexpected death.
    how would I feel
    if that were you?
    would anger build up inside?
    could I ever say “I do forgive…”?

    another school shooting
    some psycho erratically puts
    bullets into students.
    some dead, some wounded
    all affected
    except me.
    until I wonder
    what if that student who died
    trying to protect, be the hero
    what if that were you?
    the scenarios unravel…..my heart.

    and yet,
    after all this flashes through me
    i will not be in fear that
    one day,
    it may be you.
    instead, I will see that
    one day,
    is to be treated
    like a thousand days.
    each with gratitude to God
    for the gift of
    another day
    with you.


    “Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
    Remind me that my days are numbered,
    And that my life is fleeing away.
    My life is no longer than the width of my hand.
    An entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
    Human existence is but a breath.
    We are merely moving shadows,
    And all our busy rushing ends in nothing.
    We heap up wealth for someone else to spend.
    And so, Lord, where do I put my hope?
    My only hope is in you.” (ps. 39:4-7, nlt)

About Me

  • Love is the first comforter, and where love and truth speak, the love will be felt where the truth is never perceived. Love indeed is the highest of all truth; and the pressure of a hand, a kiss, the caress of a child, will do more to save sometimes, than the wisest argument, even rightly understood. Love alone is wisdom, love alone is power; and where love seems to fail, it is where self has stepped between and dulled the potency of its rays. -Paul Faber, Surgeon
