My best friend of 15 years is getting baptized this summer! She sent me a very rough draft outline of the public testimony she’s going to share in front of probably more than a thousand people, and it made me cry. I have prayed relentlessly for her for years, and now my heart is so full of joy.

Here I am, one year later. I am alive and I am well. I am strong, though I had once crumbled. I have grown, but I am still growing.
One year ago, I was paralyzed by fear, anxiety, and worry over my health. I literally could not function normally. I barely got out of bed for three weeks, couldn’t go to work, couldn’t eat, couldn’t carry on. I lost ten pounds in two weeks, the anxiety and worry...

Why are you the most perfect, attractive, beautiful, hilarious, adorable, exciting, passionate boy that loves Jesus that I have ever met and my heart explodes with joy when I see your face and why can’t I have you.

A Conversation With God. (As told by Tenth Avenue...
Me: How long must I pray, must I pray to You? How long must I wait, must I wait for You? How long 'till I see Your face? See You shining through? I'm on my knees begging You to notice me. I'm on my knees. Father, will You turn to me, yeah?
God: Love, I have waited for you. And love, I was wounded for you. Won't you look into my eyes, through the pain and through your pride and find I am true. You're the one I can't deny and I'll never leave your side. I gave my life for you.
Me: It would be easier if You were just a thought in my head. Simply something that I once read. A belief needing my defense.
God: I feel it in your eyes. There's pain that covers up these lies
Me: Now You pull me near You. When we're close, I fear You. Still I'm afraid to tell You, all that I've done. Are You done forgiving? Oh can You look past my pretending? Lord, I'm so tired of defending, what I've become. What have I become?
God: I already know who you are and all things that kept us apart. So reach in and touch My scars and know the price I paid for your heart.
Me: Well I'm falling to my knees. I feel the earth beneath. With the weight of my sin, and this crushing unbelief could You really love me with all that I've done, oh Lord?
God: I'll still love you beyond what words can say. I'll take your every suffering moment and bring a better day. I'll still love you more than what I hope to be. Let me wrap my arms around you. Let me take your breath away.
Me: I'm tired. I'm worn. My heart is heavy from the work it takes to keep on breathing. I've made mistakes. I've let my hope fail, my soul feels crushed by the weight of this world.
God: Come to the Water you who thirst and you'll thirst no more. Come to the Father you who work and you'll work no more.
Me: Satisfy me Lord, oh oh. Satisfy me Lord, oh oh. I'm begging You, to help me see. You're all I want, You're all I need. Oh, satisfy me Lord.
God: I'm there in your sorrow, under the weight of your shame. I'm there through your heartache. I'm there in the storm. My love I will keep you, by My pow'r alone. I don't care where you fall, where you have been. I'll never forsake you, My love never ends.
Here at my side My hands are holding you.

Prayer Request
Prayer warriors! Please pray for two girls!! Brittany is just 18 and last night was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It is a very treatable and curable cancer, but prayer is needed! My friend Kasey is 19 and going on the 25th to get a biopsy done to test for breast cancer. She’s scared, as anyone would be. Both of these girls are going through things nobody, especially people...

shallow breaths. curled up.
she is tired. unsure of how
she’s made it this far.
clinging to many things,
and attached to nothing.
loves much.
loves just enough
to
let
go.
i am barely getting by, she whispers.
i am here.
i am alive.
but i am not living.
crying,
where is the truth in Your promises?
where is my moment?
i am
pushing,
pulling,
pleading
for Grace and Mercy...
