Love hurts. Don’t you think so? I imagine the God of the universe feels this way every day. I often think about His love for us—how incomprehensibly big it is, and how painful it must be to love someone who doesn’t love you back. To have His heart broken all the time through the separationContinue reading “Love is an endless sacrifice”

A Good Thing
Among the many good things that may happen in your life, I’m grieved to tell you that the bad will be overwhelmingly likely to outweigh the good. On a daily basis, atrocities occur around the world, and hearing about such things only tears down the illusion of the “good world” you want to believe exists.Continue reading “A Good Thing”
13 Days
For thirteen days, I was away. And for thirteen days, I have not written anything new until now. It is the longest I have been away from my digital oasis, this little nook of mine filled with descriptive words and images of many colours. Coincidentally, this has also been the longest hiatus I’ve had thisContinue reading “13 Days”
A Letter From the Desert
Mr brothers and sisters in Christ, Where do you go when you’re not feeling like yourself? Like you’re operating on your bad habits because the regular servers in your head aren’t working, or even past that, when everything in you ceases to work. Do you run back to the Father with all your unfavourable emotionsContinue reading “A Letter From the Desert”
Designed to Play Around and Make Excuses
Some time ago, I slowly settled back into the irregular, yet familiar, rhythms of my ordinary life. Returning from a highly chaotic family holiday filled with strange twists and turns, this small moment of normalcy, if you can even call it that, has been a deeply valued gift. On second thought, no… “normal” isn’t quiteContinue reading “Designed to Play Around and Make Excuses”
The Unloved Woman
I’ve lived a life of insignificance for quite some time now. All my efforts have amounted to very little in my career, relationships, and many other areas of my life. I’ve dealt with so much disappointment and heartache, often ending with me wondering whether I’m doing the right things. Every door I’ve reached for hasContinue reading “The Unloved Woman”
Busy Mind, Busy Soul
As the year is drawing to a close, and festivities have taken over in a workshop cog work-type fashion, it has been difficult to catch my breath. Strenuous feats of physical, mental and emotional activities have left me exhausted at the end of most days. Don’t get me wrong, they have been rewarding experiences, butContinue reading “Busy Mind, Busy Soul”
Satisfied
Act I Look around, look around, Would it be enough to know That you are alive right now? Please look around, look around At how lucky we are, it’s true, To be alive right now. Is it enough, or do we yearn For more than we have earned In a ceaseless, endless chase? Are youContinue reading “Satisfied”
Words Left Unspoken
How many days of radio silence would it take before your mind starts to stir? If they’re your person, I think it’s safe to expect a small message at least once during the day. A good morning, goodnight, or this made me think of you is reasonable to expect when in a relationship, right? WithContinue reading “Words Left Unspoken”
Your Place Is Here
My child, I know you’re hurting. I know it is your desire to please me, but know that I have given you this time to rest. You need not work for my love, as it is freely given to you. Trust in me and my promises that I have everything under control. I have notContinue reading “Your Place Is Here”
