Today: Here

What can we say about 'here'?  It seems we can see to every place around besides 'here'.  I can only look up and see the horizon, never "there".  When it comes down to it, here is the only place I will ever know, but never see fully.  It is a prison and there is no excape.  Not because 'here' is bad, but because you will always be 'here' .  And there is no leaving 'here'.  A lot like tomorrow always being tomorrow and today alsways being today.  And you can't get in your car and drive away because here is always here.  But it's not a trap or a cage.  Here can be beautiful.  Because we were made to be here.  We were made to flourish and bloom isn the place that is here, wherever here is.  Here is where he meets us.  Here is where we will live.  Here is where we will die.  Here is not our eternal resting place though .  Someday, here will not bind us.  Someday, here will be where He is and there will be no more need for longing or aching or groaning.  Because where he is will be where we are.  I cannot wait for the day when here is where He is and where He is, I am.  Just because I'm not there in my body today does not take away where my spirit is and will for ever stay.  There is 20 seconds left of this post and I have not much to say.  There is som

Christmas Eve Eve

Today is Christmas Eve Eve.  I worked almost all day.  I'm very thankful for the hours and I didn't have other plans so I didn't mind being there. One of my managers kept asking me if I was in a bad mood though.  I think 3 times she asked me this today between the two shifts that I worked.  At first I just thought I wasn't really paying attention to my facial expressions since I was busy and tired (I tend to look mad when I'm not paying attention and tired). Then I started thinking about it more and I realized that maybe there was something wrong deep down and I hadn't even noticed it. There has been quite a bit on my mind for the past few months and especially this past week or so- I had noticed that- but I didn't know it had gotten to me so much.  I am thankful though because it gives me an opportunity to give the burden to the Lord.  This whole thing has made me think that even though there is noticeably something on my heart the fact that Christmas i...

Post Prompts I

I googled blog post prompts just for fun and found a website with a whole bunch.  Rather than writing whole posts on some of the topics, I decided to do interview style responses. Write about the first time you broke the law. When I was 4, stole a handful of grass seed from a store. Felt awful but never admitted to it untill way later. They knew I was lying but never prosecuted (is it even possible to prosecute a 4 year old?).  I discarded the evidence onto their lawn as soon as I got out of the store (I guess that was sort of smart).  Why grass seed? Good question.  Your favorite vacation spot or place that you've traveled to. An Island in Malaysia called Redang. Everything about that place looked like those tropical photos you secretly doubt the existence of.  Straight up B-E-A-U-tiful. Write about the passing of a loved one. My Grandma died 2 years ago on the 4th of July (ironic, don't you think?).  For me, the whole experience wa...

The Crisis by Ennio Morricone

I think this song is beautiful.  And I didn't even realize that I thought so until now even though I've heard it before.   I'm a sucker for movie music because it's usually sort of dramatic and I like dramatic music.  I like that aspect of the song.   I also like that it has a jazzy feel to it and that it just has a pretty melody to it.  What really made me realize that I like this song though is that almost right off the bat, you can hear what sounds like a mistake- but the song continues on.   This song has a unique form of beauty in music- the mix of conventional beauty with one more unique that sounds like a mistake at first.   There's something beautiful to me about continuing on-despite the "mistake" (although I'm pretty sure in the case of this song, the "mistake" isn't really a mistake). Maybe it's because I know my very apparent need for grace, my need for the love of God to continue to me despite my mistakes.  He...
