been a while. a long one! but I return, like we all do, to pick up where i left off. its a process - i like to call it 'learning the hard way.' :) and then i do it again. just like that....so much for the learning. don't be surprised to see my next post another three months down the line!

so the years gone by, and so is half the month. i think we're fascinated by the 'beginnings', 'ends' and the 'middle' of things(did i miss anything?). we're in love with the hope and enthusiasm that marks a beginning, the retrospection and urgency..or maybe even a sense of accomplishment towards an end, and slack in the middle. seasons in time.

'08 begins and time waits for no one....and i set out, like we all do, with dreams, visions - plans to make them real. i believe God makes perfect and beautiful the best that i can give, and im grateful that i dont have to do it on my own :)

just to be

"Instead of hoping to be intimate, I believed i was.
this was not based on what i felt.
it was based on what was true."
- Patricia King, 'the battle for intimacy'

i cried out and met with only silence,
distraction led away when i tried to seek Him.
empty.distant.nothingness.
what could draw me near??

"I'm right here...i've been here all along"
when i cannot see or feel
even when i fail.
when in truth i simply believe.
