errors

we have so many flaws. so so so many and it’s because there is an incredible error in humankind.

1. we contain too much.

2. we search for patterns, not passions.

3. we’re both self-absorbed and self-conscience

4. we think past decisions shape who we are, not current ones.

i went running tonight. it’s different in the suburbs than in the city. i think we fear a lot as humans. sometimes it’s as if everything is against us. but what if next time you looked into the dark forest and saw flickering spots of lights you saw fireflies, not tiny eyes watching your steps.

frost

it was 22 degrees outside when i got back and checked my dashboard after running this morning. i was ten steps out the door and it felt like i was running through an ice shield, and my face felt like it was gathering layers of ice on it as i kept running. the grass was actually crunchy and everything. the sidewalk was even slippery in parts.

we expected something, something better than before. we expected something more. we were always weird but i never had to hold you by the edges like i do now.

that is in washington state. my friend took this on the beach there in the middle of winter. i want to be there some day. until then i will be in south carolina studying stuff.

song’s on repeat.

foggy morning

My heart’s not big enough to hold all of this love,
but you keep pouring out.

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Cool Hand Luke might actually be the first Christian band I ever really liked. Aside from Jars of Clay of course.

Sometimes I question my faith. Sometimes it’s because this world is pretty tempting. And when you begin to lose your foothold you start slipping and sin makes it look a whole lot harder than it is to reset your eyes on our loving God.

I am blown away by the faithfulness of God. I am blown away by His understanding of our situation. Because when I climb a mountain and look out for thousands of miles I tremble at His greatness but when I finally let go of the fear and insecurity I am feeling He is right there to catch me. And it’s too much love for me to contain.
