silence

some silence would be nice, and maybe an overflowing cup of grace, an unshakeable amount of faith, and an understanding that God has a constant desire for me.

Here I am

Sometimes the weight of the world is unfair.
I let it have to much power and influence over my life
over things I say
things I hold back
how I limit my love
what makes me happy
bitterness I hold
grace I receive


God make me whole
invade my heavy heart
change me
I lay me down
I need you
seek you
Here I am

rainy days and everything that comes along...

what a wonderful rainy day it was
coffee in the morning with my beautiful sister and mom
after school i came home to find myself locked out of my house
decided to take myself out to lunch
pluto's tri-tip steak sandwich...
and Sex God
A book that I have read about 3-4 times
I opened it to a random page in the chapter
Worth Dying For
and read this

"Do you realize? You don't need a man by your side to validate you as a woman. You already are loved and valued. You're good enough exactly as you are. Do you believe this? Because it's true. You have limitless worth and value. If you embrace this truth, it will affect every area of life, especially your relationship with men. You are worth dying for. Your worth does not come from your body, your mind, your work, what you produce, what you put out, how much money you make. Your worth does not come from whether or not you have a man. Your worth does not come from whether or not men notice you. You have inestimable worth that comes from your creator....But you don't have to give yourself away to earn a man's love. You're better than that. You're already loved."

I know that was a long quote
but totally worth it
I sat there for awhile in Plutos (of all places)
and had an intimate moment with my creator.
wrestled with the fact that I am worth dying for
Really?? I mean come on??
And I felt right there,the second I doubted,
disappointment.
God was disappointed in me for a second.
I felt it... and never want to feel it again.
but in that moment, after doubt...I realized
I am worth dying for
just speaking these words brought me to tears...
and yes, I am still in Plutos.
I was thought about
I was designed
crafted
I am fragile
I am valued
I have purpose
I am pure
I am loved

and looking around with blurred vision from the tears..
I saw people worth dying for.
people are worth dying for.
people that God created... people that God finds joy in, people that don't believe in him, people that make mistakes, people who believe they are not beautiful, people who follow their dreams, people that sacrifice, people who need to be loved, people who need to know God's love
and that no matter what...fill in the blank
No matter,what I said or didn't say, should have or shouldn't have done, believed or not... say it
out loud
(You) I am worth dying for.
