Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you with half of my heart
With half of my heart

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:13

Psalm 63 (verses 1 - 5)
 1 O God, You are my God;
         Early will I seek You;
         My soul thirsts for You;
         My flesh longs for You
         In a dry and thirsty land
         Where there is no water.
 2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
         To see Your power and Your glory.

you.

i miss you. even though i've been so far apart from you it's strange that you could still mean so much to me. you do. i don't know you anymore and yet it feels like i do. do i know you anymore?

when i think of you, it feels like all the air in my stomach has been pushed out. straight to my heart.

It has been a while since I've been here. There's been a huge dam in my creativity and thoughts and it's been difficult to put it out into the open. I was on the bus yesterday and I realized that I didn't want to lose my means of expressing myself through writing. I'm not the most eloquent or intelligent writer but I believe in expressing ideas, ( Read more... )

a flower is like a fruit, i think. i'm not really sure whether or not cherry blossoms produce cherries but i'm fairly certain that apple trees grow apples and have flowers as well. that being said, i've been thinking about fruits of the Spirit today.

in my devotions i was reading from deuteronomy ch. 15 which talked about giving generously from the ( Read more... )

last night i had a strange dream where i was singing this song in a mcdonalds. "alive in this moment" by starfield. so, when am i most alive? i think it's the realization that i find thrilling. i've tried to have such a tight range on what i've been feeling but i realize that i love feeling. a sappy song came on the radio and i enjoyed being moved ( Read more... )
