To be continued

One day I will be proud of myself. Thank You Lord that the day is 
drawing nearer. I would be lost without Your redemption.

Seems so out of context




Praying for a beach house.
And the strength to endure.
And against the pride of a hermit's life.

Still, a beach, a dog, and a house full of books sounds nice.

How much longer can I last...

As long as I must.

This ends here.

Ughs. Ughs. Ughs.

No retreat.

Should I stumble again




I'm prideful and myopic. Mea culpa. Your chastisement is almost too
much to bear.

Another day dawns.

The battle belongs to the Lord




Thank you so much, Jesus.

Now to press in, not give up, and not fear the naysayers.

Weltschmerz




Lord, help them hold on when the disappointment batters their hearts and hope turns bitter in their mouths. When they are scared to wonder, "Maybe this time will be it." I see the pictures, and they all look so tired.

Is this the desert into which You lure my generation? If so, let Love be waiting at the end.

You really are a jealous God, aren't You? Jealousy more fierce than the grave strikes holy fear in me.

Reconnections



Thank you Lord for quickly answering prayers. Please keep me grounded in you.

Daybreak




The doors are opening. Now to step forward boldly, and not to grow weary.
