I've lost a grip on where I started from
I wish I'd thought ahead and left a few crumbs
I'm on the hunt for who I've not yet become
But I'd settle for a little equilibrium
There is a war inside my heart gone silent
Both sides dissatisfied and somewhat violent
The issue I have now begun to see
I am the only lonely casualty
This is not the end though...

It's ( Read more... )

Where to, where do I go?
If you never try, than you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

A few days later, Paul and I went off to Drumheller for the second part of our two-weekend vacation. On our way down we played "In a fight between…" My favourite was my proposal of Paul Bunyan vs. an Ent, which ( Read more... )

And I've always lived like this
keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I'd sworn to myself
That I was content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
But you are the only exception

Today I called home for a cookie recipe. What a domestic thing to do... =) My Aunt, who is a fantastic cook and baker and does it for a living, ( Read more... )

I'm not in it to win it
I'm in it for you
If it's love
And we're 2 birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whatever

A little snapshot of life. I decided to take today off - by which I mean I'm not going to try doing anything remotely important if I don't feel like it. I've started my day early after a rare early-to-bed day yesterday, and I'm pleased to ( Read more... )

Maybe I’m just lucky,

Cause it’s hard to believe

Believe that somebody like you’d end up with someone like me

Having had as much sleep as I am able and this being untrue of my very crashed and sleepy husband, it is mass-blogging time! It’s only 4:30am Saskatchewan time out here, and I’m guessing Paul will be down for the next 3 hours at ( Read more... )

As Janta commented today, my blog has been a bit barren of late - "It's almost as if you have better things to do!"

Well, I wouldn't necessarily say better! My to do lists have been exhaustive in more than one sense. But the reward begins to pour in. Several short hours ago my dear friend Janta flew into the Saskatoon airport and into my arms ( Read more... )

Here I am humbled by your Majesty
Covered by your grace flowing free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed, but alive in your hands
Majesty, Majesty

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O IsraelI start this entry the way I have started many LJ entries: Today I managed to get some things done despite waking and noon and lazing about for several hours. Tomorrow I hope to be more productive ( Read more... )

Glory to God in the highest
And on Earth peace to men
On whom His favour rests

It's snowing like a snowglobe outside today, on top of the freshly-fallen yellow leaves. It's not windy or blustery or even that cold, and you can see individual snowflakes in all their glory, clustering together like joyous children playing.

I listened to a Christmas song ( Read more... )

I'm falling down tumbling after You
I'm overwhelmed tripping over simple truth
In all I've found there's nothing that's more beautiful
Than what I've found in You

Today was one of those days where I overcame. I got up in the morning feeling all the soreness of Saturday's wedding workout and wondering how I was going to motivate myself when I felt so ( Read more... )
