Thanks

A tremendous weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
The yoke is easy and the burden is light.

It is out of my hands, and it never really was in my hands.

Don't Stay

Don't stay in one place for too long thinking about the same thing. That makes you a schemer.

We love to flirt with danger, think about the outcome, try to come out scott free.

Russian Roulette isn't a popular game in our time by any means, but I think the madness our era is slipping into is giving way to a sort of roulette of life. People put themselves in situations they know much better than, thinking to themselves... what could happen?

The idea of having a hand in a catastrophe is easily flirted with.

"Oh my God what have i done"

It is terrible... but doesn't it invite you? It does me.... and I don't consider myself sickly.

So guard your heart from prospective danger... the darkness grows and it entices. Light, heaven, overcome.... and God write my story from where I am now, don't give up on me. Please, redeem this mess, I have a liking for destruction by i have a longing for resurrection. That is what you are.

this is what i mean right now.

well love god, figure out what that even means, figure out who all this world is made by and after. it's what we must do and we must carry on the work of creating and being what we know as love throughout our time here and in the world to come

I noticed, glimpsed, what I really wanted just as it was dying away, and it was too far gone to reconvene.

Our days are too short to quarrel over needless things. And when we do, they pass unlike theyshould - "without a glimpse of joy," "swifter than a runner" - as Job (9:25 )

Our time is short yes, but not futile. Our loves can be fleeting, but have the potential to be permanent if we fight for them.

I say to myself, you did the right thing, but I can't quiet my hearts disagreement.

While I am in distress I say this to you lord. I offer you my heart, promptly and sincerely.
