My Prayer

On bended knee I come
praying, begging, yearning
asking for your spirit & power
to overwhelm my body
to the point that I cannot ignore it

I plead for a revival in my soul
that all I want to do every day is praise your name
without a desire for anything that doesn't please you
the strength to live every day to its fullest and for you alone
for my heart to yearn for you the way I want it to
and know it should

All I want is for my heart to be on fire for you
for these doubts to leave my mind
there to be no question in my soul if I am truly your follower and daughter
to make you my absolute Lord of my life
to be so far from lukewarm
the possibility never crosses my mind
and for there to be nothing between us

I fall on my face asking you to give me the ability and strength to trust you
to give you everything
especially what you are asking for now
My heart is torn but I know you are the better choice
I know I need to surrender my dreams, wants, and desires
and focus solely on you
I feel your tug on my heart
I want to listen to it with everything in me
with every fiber of my being
My one and only desire is to be devoted to you alone
to be able to sacrifice this and many other things to come

Yet why is it so hard
why can't I seem to give this up
and why do I seem to lack so much in my relationship with you
I have the desire, such deep desire
and yet
I am failing
I am falling short
I am not totally surrendering
I do not have this incredible passion in myself for you

Why Lord WHY!!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
grant me the desire of my heart
which is to love you ALONE
not myself or someone else or a dream or a desire
BUT YOU ALONE!!!!
give me the desire that I crave
fill me with you
and give me the strength and wisdom to do your will

This is my prayer

What happened to us?

What happened to us?
in these pictures we look so happy
We were so happy
The sight of you made my stomach flip

Your voice melted my heart

Just being with you made the world a better place


What happened to us?

I hardly talk to you

If I am lucky enough to

its short and shallow

Somewhere along the way, I lost you


What happened to us?

This summer killed us

Why was I so stupid to let you go for so long

You are so adorable

so sweet

so perfect


What happened to us?

How much of it my fault

Should I blame myself

What should I do

My feelings are so confused

I don’t want to let you go


What happened to us?

I watch boys walk past me

I see you in them

My heart breaks

and I wish you could just surround me


What happened to us?

My stomach doesn’t flip the same way

I still think of you

but its not the same

And you don’t seem to care either


What happened to us?

I wonder what our future it

I wonder if this is finally it

I wish I knew exactly what to do

and what you are thinking


What happened to us?


Quote of the Day:

"Baby, what are we becoming

It feels just like we’re always running
Rolling through the motions everyday
I can lean in to hold you, or act like I don’t even know you
Seems like you could care less either way
What happened to that girl I used to know
I just want us back to the way we were before" Do I by Luke Bryan

Hurricane

I feel like a tree
in the middle of a hurricane
so out of control
being pushed and whipped around
rained on without end
nothing feels stable
nothing feels sure
disaster seems near
like the eye will never come

I feel like a swimmer
in an endless pool
with no where to go
my past hunting me
and unable to swim away from it
wishing to reach bigger and better things
but unable to move forward
only to stay where I am
no improvement, no change
as hard as I try
I can't get away

I feel like a baby
trying to learn to walk
but only falling
failing with every attempt
unable even to just take a step forward
without dropping to the floor
losing hope with every attempt

I know the eye will come
I know one day, the endless pool will open before me
and I will learn to walk
Jesus is the eye in the storm
God will lead me forward
and hold my hand, teaching me to walk

But that feels so far away
the blue sky & the light at the end
don't seem to be near
my faith is weak
my hope draining way
with every failure and hurricane

God I want to rely on you for my future
to not worry about tomorrow or even today
to wait on you and trust you
that one day, life will improve
Lord, strengthen me and give me hope in you
because I sit here, broken and struggling
to trust in the one who will never let me down

You are back

Summer is ending
half was spent in tears
the other is disappointment, anger, frustration, and confusion
I was missing my best friend
missing my other half
I was having to separate my heart from you
and make it cold just to stop the pain

I honestly thought you had moved on
and didn't think of me or miss me
I thought we didn't have a future
and that we would never be close again

I started out the summer trusting in God
knowing his plan was best and resting in his peace
yet my heart still longed for you
and as time pasted, I found myself trusting God less
my faith weakening and my spiritual walk lacking drastically
I lost sight of God's power and providence

I should have known better
I should have kept my trust in God
because he has brought my friend back to me
You never forgot about me
you missed me just as much as I missed you
and you hadn't moved on

Things may still be difficult
we still can't be together the way we want
miles separate us
and our lives do not line up yet
nor are they ready for an another person
which is frustrating because I am ready to be yours
I still don't know when God's time for us is
but I am just so glad to have you back in my life
I no longer feel like I am missing a part of me

Thank you Lord for bring my friend back to me

Dear friend

Dear friend,


I have lost a best friend

everyday that becomes more apparent to me

although I know God is working

and we are where he wants us

and that I have not always had happy feelings toward you

I still miss you

and love you


I knew I cared a lot about you

I knew that saying goodbye would be one of the hardest thing I have ever done

I knew we were really close

but I did not realize the extent that it became

I did not realize you were one of my best friends

and how far I had fallen for you

how much I loved you and cared about you


I hate the negative feelings I have for you

I want it to be alright

I want us to be friends

I miss talking to you

your humor

the way you made me feel better when my skies were gray

the way you hugged me

when I felt the world was against me

your encouragement

your amazing technical knowledge 

which astounded me every time (and saved my computer)

our times together, hanging out, doing nothing

but that was okay because we were together

and just being there when everyone else had walked away


but then again

I don't know if we can ever just be friends again 

and that hurts even more

losing your friendship

hurts more than losing your love 


I don't want you to hurt

I want you to be happy

let me be the one to hurt

yeah it sucks

and I don't like it

but I'd rather it be me than you

tears come to my eyes when I realize

how much you are hurting

how much you are struggling in life

and I hate it


all I did

as your close friend

was add to it

give you one more person you cannot confide in

one less person to go to on a crappy day

one less person to give you a hug and tell you it will all work out

one less person 


I hope you know

I will always love you

you left a dent :) 

and I hope one day (Lord willing)

you will be in my life again

dear friend



Quote of the Day:

"Time to go, this is goodbye she said,

Does it ever get easier to live like this?

And kiss the cheek, for I can't kiss you anymore

And I, I would honestly love you now,

But I would lovingly let you down...


Oh, I have the hardest time resisting you, and, oh, if you...
If you feel the same way,
Then how can we be friends?
He's right you know, we can't go on like this.
And oh I'd try to give you everything
And if I fail, well then I fail, but at least I gave you something"   -If I Fail by Cartel
