...13 days and counting...



During communion at church today my friend sang that Kari Jobe song
“The More I Seek You” and I broke down into a thousand pieces.
Worship has always moved me...
It all culminated into this extended moment in time.

I cried the whole 30 minute drive to Silverthorne.
I was driving to Target to return my baby books.
After I parked I just sat in my car. I couldn’t do it.
I physically couldn’t walk them inside the store.
I can’t stand to look at them...
But I couldn’t bear the thought of cashing them in.
This outporting of emotions led to a string of words...

___________________________________________________________



we never got to see your face
you never received a name
as detached as this sounds
we’ll never be the same
slipping in and out of consciousness
my body has betrayed me
a gift was given and then was taken
a baby 6 weeks and 2 days
moving on doesn’t seem quite right
living however i’ve managed to lose sight
i still laugh, try to cope and cry
often these actions feel forced like lies
i’ve been promised peace
granted by faith in my father
your will is the path for my life
even if i’m meant to be the example
fighting these emotions i no longer even bother
figuring this out and trying to get a handle
i refuse to beat myself up
begging to know what went wrong
i can’t question why
i know that you love me
that i refuse to deny

:enough is enough:




"Walk By Faith"
By: Jeremy Camp


Would I believe You when You would say
Your hand will guide my every way
Will I receive the words You say
Every moment of every day

Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me

Help me to win my endless fears
You've been so faithful for all my years
With one breath You make me new
Your grace covers all I do


Well I'm broken- but I still see Your face
Well You've spoken- pouring Your words of grace


Well hallelujah, hallelu
(I will walk by faith)
Well hallelujah, hallelu
(I will walk by faith)
I will walk, I will walk, I will walk by faith
I will, I will, I will walk by faith
