I live for adventures and write to live.
Something lives inside her
Eating her alive
In her heart
In her mind
In her soul
Bringing her low
Beneath the soil
Burying her in regret
Telling her she has done everything wrong
When she has done nothing wrong
But living
And loving
And giving herself away
Christ is personal
He’s been here since the beginning
First God
Then Man
Two in one
Making me complete
Picking up my pieces
Putting me together
Crafting my very being
Ever since the beginning
Before time
He made time
Living outside of it
Experiencing all of it
And no matter what
He understands
He creates
He saves
He loves, first
Christ is first
Christ is last
Christ is forever
He thought it all up
Existence was his idea
And what a great idea it was
That we get to live and breathe and learn
So teach me
Show me who I am again
Show me who I can be
Created in this image
Built to last forever
From the beginning
To the end
Husband as leader
Really bothers me
Husband as head
Must have been cultural
Because today, women are strong
Today, women are equal
Today, women are independent
I want to live my own life
And let his supplement mine
And vice versa
He is not my leader
Nor am I his
Equals
Partners
In love and in life
Not with two heads
But with no head
Shoulders above all of this
Part of the body
It is really hard to be perfect
Even if I was made that way
I really wasn’t made that way
Born too soon into a broken reality
Everyone’s eyesight is skewed
And mine is too
Perfection isn’t what I strive for
Because I know I’m more than mediocre
I am more than meets the eyes
Every single time
I feel lost in a mess
Where I’m trying too hard to impress
Everyone around me who can judge
And then they do judge
And judgments will always find the imperfections
I don’t want to be flawed or broken
But that’s the world I was born into
We are all flawed and broken
Constantly striving to be more than
Always feeling less than
Perfect
You can watch the grass grow
And be lost in it
You can be broken by overwhelming love
You can spend years just wasting your time
But it’s not a wast of time at all
He teaches you to chase
And to be chased
He chases you as you follow him
And every time you fall apart
He puts together all your pieces
So wast your time here
Dedicate your minutes
Dedicate your hours
Know him
Know yourself
Fall in love again
Remember when he called you?
Remember who you were?
You can be that again
It never was just a waste of time
We’re always making choices
Every moment is a choice
We choose to stay
We choose to leave
We choose to get angry
And we choose to let things go
So you can choose now to let this go
Even if you don’t know what it is
Slamming doors, passive aggression
Waking your perceived enemies from slumber
Trying to win a battle that no one else is fighting
You can choose to get out
Or act as if you’re being thrown out
As if you’re not wanted here
Although the only thing that isn’t wanted is your anger
Feeling lost in this
Your life’s a wreck because your heart is
Or maybe vice versa
Your choices are yours alone
The time is coming
Which will you choose?
You come in close
I can feel your breath on my neck
Breathing your life into me
You come in close
Loosening these chains that bind me
Watching my shackles fall to the ground
You come in close
Lifting me to my feet so I can stand with you
Preparing me to run
And we’ll run
You take me on a wild ride
Over mountains, through valleys, crossing streams, conquering deserts
You come in close
You take me on endless adventures
And let me rest when I grow weary
You come in close
You carry me out of the holes I dig for myself
Teaching me not to fight anymore
You come in close
You piece together my aching heart
You make me whole again
You come in close
Wrap your arms around me in restoration
Your warmth is unmatchable
You come in close
And it’s like magic without the tricks
And it finally all makes sense
You come in close
You love me as your own
Because that’s exactly what I am
You come in close
And I can feel you
an honest place.
Pull up and listen...I've got a funny one for ya...
Figure it out.
