sunglasses

sometimes i feel like i am in a marathon

on a treadmill

i keep running and running

toward the light

away from the dark

but as soon as i take a breath

to look behind me

it is all still there.

note to self:

buy sunglasses

because i will only look ahead

directly into the light. 

coffee

i love coffee. anyone who has spent any measurable amount of time with me has probably witnessed the consumption of coffee by non other than my self. just yesterday, Chad was making fun of my methods of consumption. when i first meet the mug of choice, i grab it, instinctively, with two hands. i then pull the mug close to my chest, just under my chin; savoring every pleasant aroma, warmth, and the prospect that this cup might bring life to my sluggish body. coffee is more than a beverage, it is momentary comfort. yes, perhaps, an addiction. My resolution for 2009: make God my addiction, more than my coffee. i want to have instinctive qualities in my relationship with Him. i want to reach for Him at all times, without even knowing. i want to pull Him close because in His arms i'm already as close as it gets. i want to savor Him, to find life in Him. really....i want to know Him more. complacency, idleness, being spiritually stagnant is not okay. 

so, i'm not that awesome at computers...obviously...but i accidently deleted this entry and can not find it again. many apologies. :)

you spoke

the air is thick,
heavy with your presence

thank you

i sing with all i have
from the bottom of my depths
in efforts
simply for you to hear me
but you've already heard
next to me
your arms are wrapped, tight

heart open,
i long for you to see it
to hold
but you already do
you've held me from the start

don't let go
you're so good, so great
don't let go
