I sometimes have to pinch myself to get a handle on how utterly real and amazingly beautiful this life is. It's almost hard to believe that this is my life now, especially when reflecting back on the lens I once looked through. The contrast is surreal.

Shifting the mindset. Letting go. Forgiving. Trusting. And following Light and Love.

Jesus IS everything anyone could possibly want and yet as clear as that was, it was so hard to see back then because I didn't allow myself to do so. It's as though I thought covering myself from Him and everything else would protect me.

My hope now is for everyone to open their eyes to the Light and see! Simple as that.

It actually hurts reading on the social problems out in the world. It hurts even more when your textbook reinforces it as normal. Where is the love?!!?

Things that stir my heart at 1:57 am while grinding on a month's work of school work.

“

I wonder how they could yell Barabbas instead of Jesus.
I wonder how they sang Hosanna and days later, Crucify him.
I wonder how Pontius could wash his hands of it, as though a dirty conscience could be so easily cleaned.

 

But — I am Barabbas, sinner set free.
I yell Crucify him as I sing praises with ease.
I am Pontius, who turned a blind eye to glory.
And yet, so Christ still died for me.
Still he died, where I should be,
a perfect love on that tree.

”

“I never saw a wild thing 

sorry for itself.”
