i don't get this

Break me into so many pieces that only You can put back together. Destroy me, break me—leave me desperate for Your direction and wisdom. Bring humility. Don’t relent until You have all of me; the way You want me to be.

what kind of king would wear a crown that scars to win my heart

Behold, You have come over the hills upon the mountain. To me, You will run. My Beloved, You’ve captured my heart.

Won’t You dance with me, Oh Lover of my soul, to the song of all songs? Romance me, Oh Lover of my soul to the song of all songs.

Dance With Me

Hosea 2:14-16

Therefore I am now going to allure her;
I will lead her into the desert
and speak tenderly to her.


There I will give her back her vineyards,
and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.
There she will sing as in the days of her youth,
as in the day she came up out of Egypt.



In that day, declares the LORD,
you will call me ‘my husband’;
you will no longer call me ‘my master.’

but sometimes what if

"Remember that Jesus’ whole life, he was misunderstood. And we turn to Christ who was misunderstood by his own kind, by his own creation. And he knows how you feel. But the greatest thing is that in Jesus’ whole life, he was misunderstood. But he rarely went out of his way to allow everyone to understand and explain himself. Being misunderstood is one of the greatest ways we suffer with and for Christ. Christ was misunderstood his whole ministry by the Jewish leaders, church leaders, disciples… no one got it. If you go through this process of misunderstanding and stay strong, you will ever more so become like Christ.”
Pastor David

sometimes i wish i would wake up crying

There’s this kind of songbird that thinks it dies every time the sun goes down. In the morning when it wakes up, it would totally be shocked that it would still be alive, so it will sing this really beautiful song.


crying out of gratitude
joy
something.
being overwhelmed with hope




but crying is annoying.
i hate it.

franciscan benediction

May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships,
So that you may live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger
At injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,
So that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.

May God bless you with tears
To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war,
So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain to joy.

And may God bless you with enough foolishness
To believe that you can make a difference in the world,
So that you can do what others claim cannot be done,
To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.

Amen.
