Live and let go.
It’s the only way to live.

You fall in love with a person because your subconscious likes something about their subconscious, and it isn’t until much later that you discover that the thing your subconscious liked was the fact that this person was built to hurt you in precisely the way you most fear.
- Sarah Dunn, The Big Love.
Anniversary
Yesterday I commemorated 1 year at my current employer. I’m not new to the workplace by any means, so why does this matter?
For the first time ever, I experienced what it’s like to be married to my job. What? Let me explain. It’s not about the hours!
This has been the first job that has caused me to question myself and what I’ve known about myself in a way no other job has. I fully recognize, though, that it could’ve been this job or another. This was just the one that caught me in this particular phase of my life.
Would love to revisit this soon… But it is busy season, and I look forward to this season being over so I have more mental capacity for writing and thinking about next steps.

Brokenness Aside
I am a sinner
If its not one thing its another
Caught up in words
Tangled in lies
You are the Savior
And you take brokenness aside
And make it beautiful
Beautiful

Everyone says love hurts, but that’s not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love; but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the one thing in this world that does not hurt.

Learning to love, love, love. Hard to imagine being loved, if I’m not doing some loving myself.
Hope’s Anthem
(Bethel Live)
He’s awakening the hope in me
By calling forth my destiny
He’s breathing life
Into my soul
I will thirst for
Him and Him alone
He has come like the rain
That showers on the barren plain
So my heart and tongue confess
Jesus, Christ the Hope of man
My hope is in you, God
I am steadfast
I will not be moved
I’m anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You
He’s bringing hope to the hopeless
And giving his heart to the broken
And sharing His home with the orphan
He is the joy, He is my joy
He is the hope of the nations
The father’s heart we’re embracing
He is the song we’re declaring
He is the joy, He is my joy
** A new season is starting: what of, I’m not certain yet. I’ve felt for the past couple of weeks that I’ve been on the cusp of it. Greatly encouraged by an influx of new friendships, and some people who really, really love Jesus. Imperfect people who are self-aware enough of their imperfections and live life with transparency surrounding this simple fact.
In other news: what an amazing day in the City!
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
