pain throws your heart to the ground
love turns the whole thing around
no, it won’t all go the way it should, but i know the heart of life is good.

what makes it alright

doesn’t make it all better.

can we pretend that this never even happened?

i will sing myself to sleep
’cause you made a liar out of me

never say never

is a hypocritical statement.

dear LORD,

you love me for who i am, yet forgive me for who i’m not.
you comfort me when i’m hurt, yet laugh with me when i realize the tears weren’t worth it.

you know my heart inside and out.  you know my deepest thoughts and desires.  you know my questions, and you know the answers i have yet to find.  you know the woman i will grow up to be.

you know me.

and through all that, you still love me.
you know me.  and you love me.  you love me, and you know me.

the things i hide from everyone else are the things you see first.  and you still love me.
my deep dark past is written out on my face for you, and you still love me.

i have been trying to seek you, and i will continue until i find you.

your word is on my tongue.  your grace is in my heart.  your sovereignty is on my mind.  my life is in your hands.

so for me this is beautiful
a brand new thought and a brand new world
can i stay here forever, here with you?

we all need to be a little more like kids.
we all need to be a little immature at times.

there’s a big difference between being immature and just knowing how to have fun.

i think i have the latter perfected.
