Take all else...

I want to rid myself of all but love.

You call me loved

Search me now. Find all the dejected affections within me...
Take them from me now and fill the void in this soul with your holy, personal divinity.

Cleanse and purify this brokenness with your refining fire.
Take these ashes and trade them in for something beautiful...

I cast every burden down.
I lay them before the foot of the cross.
Let me forget all my selfish thoughts.

You are He who raised the mountains from the earth,
The artist who paints the sky with vibrant hues of beauty,
Your almighty hand measured the breadth or the universe,
And breathed the breath of existence into all.
You are the logic of all,
You are the standard of excellence,
The stars sing your praise!

[.You call me loved.]

Father, I adore thee,
I lift my hands to you,
I fall to my knees before you,
I cast my crowns before your throne,
Worthy is the Lamb!
Holy, holy, holy are you the author of all,
That has been, that is, and that is to come!

Just for now

Giving into what tears me apart was the hardest thing...
Now, I am standing on the doorstep, calling my goodbye,
Hopeing that you might hear me, through that heavy oak door.
Why is letting go so hard?
In farwell, I want you to know one thing...

I will always be here for when you call,
I will never give up on you,
I will be seeing you through your journey,
Following, one step behind,
Hopeing that maybe, just maybe,
You will look back.
I love you.

I have no ties over you,
Nothing other than my love that can endure much,
And prayers that will reach over any distance.
Will our paths meet again?
In farwell, I want you to know one thing...

I will always be here for when you call,
I will never give up one you,
I will be seeing you through your journey,
Following, one step behind,
Hopeing that maybe, just maybe,
You will look back.
But if you don't,
It's ok, because I am learning to let go.
I love you...

Moving on

Lying awake, night after night, crying out to God... asking him to help her to accept what she fears so much.

Things Change. People move on.

As she raises her hands, and begins to realize the pain she really feels, she begins to wish it all away. Wanting to hide away from what she sees... time is going on and she wants to turn and walk away, but she remembers; remembers oh, so much.

So many giggles; so many moments

She is hurt and sad. Others seem to be able to move on, why can't she? With each smile, she sinks; with each glance, she is pushed further away.

I suppose her silence is her self defense.

Her silence may save any hope she still has, but if it is her silence which causes her loss... then it is her worst mistake.
