fix you

When you try your best, but you don't succeed

When you get what you want, but not what you need

When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone, but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

this is my stressed out face.  

i hide my worries and stresses well.

i think this is one of my weaknesses.

i am afraid to appear weak.

i have a weakness for homemade cookies... oatmeal chocolate chip... this is a strength

We can only care for others if we are cared for....Caring is not something sentimental; it means giving time, listening, affirming, understanding and encouraging. It means also challenging and evaluating, when necessary....To care for people does not mean to flatter them; it is to help them discover their own worth and their gifts, in order to grow in truth, and to accept their brokenness and 

shadow sides.

it seems like a long way up right now.  

branch by branch. 

bud by bud. 

leaf by leaf.  

there is growth.

i will reach the goal... soon.

to do

i have a to do list for the summer... it goes something like this:

finish my thesis

take a month off

bike to Gananoque and back

breathe deeper

tile my kitchen backsplash

bake

sit on a patio (frequently)

love more

add joy

to rest is to let go of the things of the day

the things that tighten your shoulders; the things that weary your soul; the things that tip the scales

to rest is to close your eyes and just be

to embrace the quiet 

to listen to the music

to hear the whisper 

empty

i can only imagine the light.

what it must have been to see the light after the darkness of the tomb.

but it is empty.

and that is why we celebrate!

alleluia!

alive

expectation

i learned how to drive the tractor one weekend.

it was like therapy.

i haven't driven the tractor since then.

our shadows

this is something bigger then me

larger then life something heavenly

good friends and...

nest

lights will guide you home

and ignite your bones

and i will try to fix you
