used to

i used to love raisins
i used to eat with a fork on my right hand and a spoon in my left
i used to be a little girl who was without a care in the world

ping pong

a week ago my feet were exhausted
from walking back and forth around the university
it would have been fun if i wasn't in a hurry

as i was sitting on a couch
with a white hood covering my face
i sensed a presence approaching

it was my master
who came to wash my feet.

something to clear confusion...

the word “justify” means: not make just, but declare just.

[when the darkness will not lift by john piper]

sigh.

In my world, it's raining.

~ Shota, Phantom by Terry Goodkind

orphans

funny how the passivity
of one affects so many
no wonder everyone
feels so lonely

once and for all

Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God. Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

(Hebrews 10:11-14)

i can't...

save the shrimp!

Home Tonight

I’ve come to my senses
How did I get so far from home
The lies dissipating
Revealing I’m so alone
And I remember now how strong love can be
And I wonder how did I ever leave

Burn your fire on the altar
Leave a candle on the porch
I’m still too far away to see it
But I’m aching for its warmth
And I’m so tired and cold and dark and lonesome
But still I hear your song inside
So sing it louder if you want me home tonight
Sing it loud now, ‘cause I’m comin’ home tonight

This isn’t the first time
I’ve wandered away from home before
You’d have every reason
To slam and dead-bolt the door
But I remember now how strong your love can be
And I wonder how you might welcome me

Burn your fire on the altar
Leave a candle on the porch
I’m still too far away to see it
But I’m aching for its warmth
And I’m so tired and cold and dark and lonesome
But still I hear your song inside
So sing it louder if you want me home tonight
Sing it loud now, ‘cause I’m comin’ home tonight

Into your arms, to my back yard
Where I used to play
How I miss the days...

So burn your fire on the altar
Leave a candle on the porch
I’m still too far away to see it
But I’m aching for its warmth
And I’m so tired and cold and dark and lonesome
But still I hear your song inside
So sing it louder if you want me home tonight
Sing it loud now, ‘cause I’m comin’ home tonight

good advice

Don't make decisions when you're emotionally high.

as usual, you're right...

*hug*

there are thoughts i push aside
that can make me stare into space

there are times when i need a hug
just to feel that i am safe




thank you for suffering inconvenience and coming to my rescue.
