on repeat. for the First Time.

you know that moment when you've heard a song a million times.. . 
but finally hear it for the FIRST time.. hits you like a ton of bricks.


it feels like everyone i've talked to lately has been having it rough.
and i'm just one among many.


no one seems to just be floating down Easy creek.
it's white water rafting for many.


i pray_ i try my very hardest to give it all over _ to surrender.
but sometimes the waves seem to capsize my tiny boat.


i'm reminded of last year's post _ on the water


Brooke Fraser's Shadowfeet was clear to me today. i needed to hear these words.


There's distraction buzzing in my head
saying in the shadows it's easier to stay ---- -
when time and space are through, i'll be found in You.
--- -- -STILL STANDING.




2 Corinthians 4:8-11


We are hard pressed on every side, but NOT crushed; perplexed, but NOT in despair;persecuted, but NOT abandoned; struck down, but NOT destroyed.We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body.
