What a gift He has given us. He created us to live, not simply to believe. To follow Him is to experience, to explore, to discover. Thank You, Lord Jesus, not only for who You are, but for whom You created us to become. So now let us not waste even one moment.
-----from the book, Chasing Daylight by Erwin Raphael McManus
Jesus is more than my Savior, He is my example. The Bible is more than the truth, it's my guide. And my life is not my life, but one huge opportunity to please Him. So that is how I try to live -- in a manner pleasing to God.
i obsess and overthink. i want to be bold. i don't put my feelings on the line. i hate rudeness an inappropriateness. when i am comfortable, i am really talkative. i worry. i care a lot about other people. i'm too controlling. i'm serious minded and my friends are pretty accurate when they make fun of me for being an old lady inside. i'm not good at making conversation with people i don't know. i really do love you, whoever you are. i want to be like my jesus.
I can feel you all around me. Thickening the air I'm breathing. Holding on to what I'm feeling. Savoring this heart that's healing. My hands float up above me. And you whisper you love me. And I begin to fade. Into our secret place. The music makes me sway. The angels singing say we are alone with you.I am alone and they are too with you.
I'm alive, I'm alive.
