thankful tonight to realize i think way less about me. i think way less about my empty arms, my aching heart, my waiting dreams.

i think mainly about you.

do you stretch your arms out for someone to pick you up?

does someone come?

does that someone go again?

do you want someone to be yours?

are your fingers pudgy?

does anyone kiss the back of your neck?

do you like playing in water?

have you learned how to eat on your own?

what do you do when you get scared?

who taught you to say your first word?

do you know how to walk now?

i’m sorry there are no pictures.

i’m sorry i don’t know about your life.

i’m sorry i’m missing it.

i want you.

will you believe that i love you?

i do. i love you.

You have calmed greater waters…

and higher mountains have come down…

“Father of the fatherless and protector of widows, is God in His holy habitation. God settles the solitary in a home…” – Psalm 68:5-6

“Praise is due to You, O God, in Zion, and to You shall vows be performed. O You who hears prayer…” – Psalm 65:2

we have to trust that we are in the hands of the Father…

when the plans get changed, it is the Father changing the plans…

and then the dreams get crushed, it is the Father crushing the dreams…

His grace never goes dark…

even when everything else does…

sometimes on the Rock i tremble
faint of heart and weak of knee
but the steadfast Rock of Ages
never trembles under me

#17

You carry me…close to your heart…

#16

and i’m wild with the hope…

i’m wild with the hope…

#15

all of Your promises won’t let go of me…

i want you to be my love…
