Exhale
May 23, 2013 by · 2 Comments
I hoped walking into church that day would be the exhale I needed. It wasn’t. I didn’t even want to be there. This lack of desire had nothing to do with The Church. The issue was me. Plain and simple. Once inside I stood staring at Tozer’s book of devotions, thinking that maybe if I opened [...]
Coffee Confessions

If you and I met for coffee today, and you asked me how I spend each day, I would share with you, that I woke up each day, whenever my eyes open on their own and have the freedom to spend my time however I desire. But I don’t know how to steward those given [...]

May 21, 2013 by · 6 Comments
Show me your bottle that lies pressed against my cheek. Draw away for a moment into light moistened confessions you preserve. I desire to see my ocean in your hands. Words evoked in my heart by Psalm 56. David, in a cave of holding, confesses in song, the tears he cries and the [...]

Wrinkles unable to disguise the hands of the twelve year old boy I fell [...]

Abandonment- my One Word 365 update
May 15, 2013 by · 2 Comments
Me: I made a huge step in abandonment today. Friend: Oh really, what happened? Me: Probably seems stupid but I deleted and blocked the one I shared a meal with.
