we will wear compassion, we will wear it and the gates of hell wont stand against it.

About Me

I'm honest. Sometimes it gets me in trouble. I'm a work in progress. I know I'm supposed to love everyone, but I don't sometimes. I will never be perfect. My heart is becoming soft again. I pray that my knees become thick. I am no one profound. I am normal. I've been chosen to be used. I'm coming to grips with that. I hope it goes well. I wear size small shirts. I like shoes. I go to a lot of shows. I enjoy Fazoli's whenever possible. I have weird eyebrows.I like being challenged. I like when people and God meet and the mess than ensues. I struggle a lot. Please look past my inadequacies.

Love is the whole and more than all.
- ee cummings.

There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
- God.

Matthew 16:18. Read it. Love it. Believe it.

Because if there is blood on the roots, then there is blood on the branches.
- the chariot.

Supposed children's books characters say it best, most of the time...

There comes a point in time where we have to realize that we aren't ultimately in control. That we alone can't do anything. Yes, this is far fetched to some, but it makes sense to me. And to be honest...
