"As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us"

My friend gave me the biggest hug ever, and I thought "why? I don't deserve this!"

It's like Grace, we don't deserve anything, yet because of his great love for us we are given everything.

"On that day the Proud will fall, the Faithful rise...

Where will you be?

I can't help not rejoicing...he went straight to hell! That's not something I feel joyful about, no matter what happened. It's an odd feeling, I wonder if I'd feel the same if I was american? We are no safer because we don't know the face of the enemy, even the merciless killing of thousands does not justify that of one.

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
–Martin Luther King, Jr.

One of the most famous Americans ever. Isn't that kind of ironic?

...Strong as a mighty rock, our refuge in the coming wrath, the heart of the bride belongs to Jesus, Jesus..."

I've left it all behind...

I’d still like to splurge tho, I’ve never known my own mind well enough to be able to…

It was all just a coping mechanism, I didn’t know how to deal with big feelings, or how to understand my emotions. Even positive ones. Knowing when I’m more susceptible to these things helps, as does having a different perspective.

It’s my relationship with Him that matters, I don’t want to put anything in the way of that.

I can say I've let go of this, it’s not a part of who I am any more. That’s why I don’t want to do this, to bring it up and focus on it, it’s not that important. At the same time tho, it’s something to be aware of, to “take each thought captive”.

When there’s a lot on, when I just don’t understand or know how to deal with my feelings, it all does come back. The thing is, whilst I might not know what to do with my feelings, I can fight it. Trusting God is so much better, an eternal perspective helps.

Hebrews 11…

We Belong to the Day:

Strong as a mighty rock, our refuge in the coming wrath

The heart of the bride belongs to Jesus, Jesus

The Earth in its turning stops to marvel at the Son of God

And all of that day belongs to Jesus, Jesus

Keep waiting, keep trusting...

the darkest hours are just before dawn

Early in the morning, it's so dark you cannot see anything.

Later on, the first ray of light comes, but it's still sometime before the full sun comes up...

Grace & Love

Crazy, crazy week. Maybe if I was not so tired, but I have been sleeping....I may have scraped 6 hours sleep on Tuesday....although I was still awake at 0:03 and my alarm went off at 6:00...so maybe not...

Music stealer. Why yes, hello (:

Btw, I still miss you... "I wish I could cross my arms, and cross your mind..." But you like her. Sad times...

"You are more, beautiful, than anyone, ever..."

If I remembered this, and kept focused, it'd be less stressful...yes?

"How could you be so good? There is no one like you,"

Been a long time since I properly updated this. Writing is less fun when it's 2500 & 1500 by Thursday....that was last week, stop with the nightmares already! ;) It's been a dream dream week, maybe that's why I'm so exhausted! Never mind, cake :)

Oops, adverts, the Latvian radio choir? When's the Serbia trip? как дела :)

C'est en Biélorussie, non? Mais je-t-elle doit téléphoner. Absolument.

Please email me back, I know there's nothing you can do from China, and he never lets go, but I would like something friendly, encouraging. I'm sure you haven't forgotten me...

"Hello Hurricane, you're not enough

Hello Hurricane, you can't silence my love

I've got doors and windows boarded up

All your dead end fury is not enough

You can't silence my love..."

"Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God" Psalm 42:5
