It’s a Good Thing to Hope for Help from God
19-21 I’ll never forget the trouble, the utter lostness, the taste of ashes, the poison I’ve swallowed. I remember it all—oh, how well I remember— the feeling of hitting the bottom. But there’s one other thing I remember, and remembering, I keep a grip on hope:
22-24 God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, his merciful love couldn’t have...
psalm 139
139 1-6 God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand. I’m an open book to you; even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking. You know when I leave and when I get back; I’m never out of your sight. You know everything I’m going to say before I start the first sentence. I look behind me and you’re there, then up ahead and you’re there, too— your reassuring presence,...
You are more.
I’m asking you for one thing one thing only To live with you in your house my whole life long I’ll contemplate your beauty I’ll study your feet
That’s the only quiet, secure place in a noisy world The perfect getaway far from the buzz of traffic
You hold my head & shoulders above all who try to pull me down I’m headed for your place to offer anthems anthems that...
All.
For you
Most high
All powerful
Forever reigning
King of kings
Let my life be all for you

Without agenda
& sometimes it’s cool to wake up
Simply for the fact that you’re alive
I've learned..
If it draws you away from the people you respect & value most, it’s probably not a good choice.
Is one choice/person/moment of satisfaction worth destroying the “solids”?
Let Go & Let God.
Sometimes in our attempts to try and fix people, we destroy our relationships with others.

Honor.
In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over by observing your pure and reverent lives. Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty...
Say.
Sometimes, we are asked to voice what He places on our hearts
But He sends peace
& new mercies each morning
& reassurance like non-other
Lord,
I believe in your sovereign grace
Your healing
Your glory
& that you shine brighter than my human eyes can see
Thank you.
You call.
When the waters rage all around me
you ask me to call out to you
To ask you to calm them
To seek you for the strength to stand
There you go again..
messing up my humanly thoughts & turning them into holy awakening & revelation.
Lord, You are so amazing.
So almighty
So Holy
So constant
So detail-oriented
So perfect & true
So good.
Thank you, for considering me worthy, after all of my unworthiness.
Thank you, for your righteousness, that pours over all of my unrighteousness.
Thank you for your sacrifice, for it’s...

Desire.
If my actions
My words
My desires
My passions
My attitude
My thoughts
My media
My environment or situation
My intake & my out..
If it isn’t of you or bringing you glory or guiding someone to your & your glory, let me not be any part of it.
Let my desires be your desires.
Let my heart seek only the things of you.
& when I fall short, every second, let me be reminded of...
Thanks.
Lord
I thank you for this season of singleness
I thank you for giving me this time to reflect and to get my heart right with you, especially before I try to share it with someone else
Thank you for capturing my heart
Thank you for healing it & for drowning it in your righteousness

My.
You are my rock
My solid ground
My shore
My anchor
My safety boat
My life line
My life preserver
The seven seas cannot keep you
Nor can the strongest waves drown you
The Show.
“Check. Testing.Check one. Check one-two. Give me a little more in this mic.” -drum- Bum.Da-bum.Bump.Bump.Cla-asssssh -guitar- Strum. Strum strum. Strum-mmmm. -keys- bummm.bumm.bing. “Testing-testing.All Clear.” & all of a sudden a roar comes barreling out from the crowd anticipation sweeping every heart as the lights dim and the band takes place it’s time....
Season of praise.
I WILL extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. O Lord my God, I cried to You and You have healed me. O Lord, You have brought my life up from Sheol (the place of the dead); You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit (the grave). Sing to the Lord, O you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His...
Paul.
I thank The Lord for Paul quite often
For relaying the message
For humbling himself
For being a sinner
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured...
Simple.
But me, I’m not giving up. I’m sticking around to see what God will do. I’m waiting for God to make things right. I’m counting on God to listen to me. (Micah 7:7 MSG)
Lord,
You amaze me
It’s and endless experience
One I take for granted daily
Thank you.
For your grace
& mercy
& love.
January 5: find of the day.
“Who are you, really?
You are not a name or a height,
or a weight, or a gender
You are not an age
& you are not where you are from
You are your favorite books
& the songs stuck in your head
You are your thoughts
& what you eat for breakfast on Saturday mornings
You are a thousand things
But everyone chooses
To see the million things you are not
You are not where...
Recap.
2012: First airplane ride. GRADUATED! First experience sharing my testimony. First time crying in front of a group of people. First flat tire. Payed for my first set of tires. Huge purge. Followed a dream & prayed a lot. Sold a painting. Got a tattoo. Photogaphed some beautiful people. Learned quite a bit about myself & life & love & most importantly God. Tried sushi. Tried to...

You.
Running
Always running away from you
Running
Shaking my fist at you
My empty, clenched fist
I will not let go
I will not let you in
I will fight
I fight
…& then
I break
You break me
You always win
You always win the war that rages inside of me
You take over and remove my fingers from my palm
You soothe me, pouring your grace over all of my discrepancies
You relieve me of this...
My letter to you.
Tonight, I find myself laughing at the 13 year old me who stated “to simply <b>BE</b>happy” as a response to the question “where do you want to be in 5 years”
It’s funny how things turn out..yano.
One day you’re dreaming of big cities and fancy office spaces, the next, you find yourself in a seemingly small city surrounded by locks of freshly...
“One way ticket to the lion’s den
Got to go through the fire so I can come out...”
Peace.
”..for the battle is the Lord’s..” 1 Sam. 17:47
I cannot escape you.
You take care of these things that I find to marvelous, too lofty.
You handle them effortlessly, all the while, I’m struggling.
Where’s my faith, Father?
Where’s my trusting you?
I am so thankful for your hand being on my shoulder, every step, guiding and directing me.
Lord, You have encircled me; You have placed Your hand on me. ⌊This⌋ extraordinary knowledge is beyond...

May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope. (Romans 15:13 AMP)
Lord, your hope so fills my soul.
My heart does not want, for you have filled every desire.
Help me continuously seek you out, and talk to you throughout the day....
Shock.
It’s shocks me more than it should
Completely befuddles me
Throws me for a loop
Overwhelms my heart
That you, oh God, you know what I need to hear
Even when I’m not completely willing to listen
You hear my cry
You hear my anger
You hear my distress
THE LORD is my Light and my Salvation—whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my...
Breathe.
Explosions in the Sky & a welcoming night scene under a million fiery stars… The drives before deciding to go home are filled with numb release.

Relate.
There’s a story that draws near to my soul.
A story about a wealthy man who asks the Lord what he needs to do to earn his right into the kindgom.
The Lord replies with a seemingly simple answer: “sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.”
The wealthy man replies by leaving, filled with sorrow, heart heavy.
I’m not sure what was...
Heavy.
My heart is heavy, for they deny you
For we deny you, Lord
We turn to our idols: politics, literature, electronics, money, clothings, glamour
All the things you warn us about
We chase after these things ,Lord, & we place them as most high
Lord, only you are most high
The Alpha & The Great I am
Only you are Lord
Damage our heart, send them chasing after you
Blind us, force us to...
