Today, know that God cares about the things that concern you. He cares about the things that hurt you. He is close to the brokenhearted, and He wants to bring you peace and comfort. Turn to Him and receive His love. Let Him bring healing to your heart and restoration to your soul.

resolutewoman:

lyshaeskro:

I am me.

—

I am not fussy. I am not fancy.

I find great beauty in small things.

I have an adventurous spirit.
I have wings instead of roots.

I work hard./I move quickly./I am modest.

I say things I don’t mean.
I make mistakes.
I am a sinner saved by grace.

I have been given more love than I deserve, and the love that I have is much bigger than myself.

The confidence I have is not invested in me, but in my God.

It is He who has made me.

“I wish I wrote the way I thought
Obsessively
Incessantly
With maddening hunger
I’d write to the point of suffocation
I’d write myself into nervous breakdowns
Manuscripts spiralling out like tentacles into abysmal nothing
And I’d write about you
a lot more
than I should.”

- Benedict Smith / “I Wish I Wrote The Way I Thought” (via h-o-r-n-g-r-y)

laurenelizabethvernon:

She was right. There is that wonderful moment when you first wake up when you don’t remember anything—you just know it’s a new day and it’s beautiful. But then the reality of yesterday hits and your heart breaks all over again and you just want to go back to sleep because at least in your sleep you don’t remember and you don’t hurt.

Today has been the absolute worst. I keep falling asleep of exhaustion and waking up and for a fleeting moment thinking that everything I learned last night might have just been a bad dream…I think I’m going to throw up, or pass out, or both.

What do you do when the person you’re in love with tells you they’ve had strong feelings for someone else for years?

I thought I was observant and intuitive…but I’ve been blindsided a lot lately.

tonight Ashley asked me to sing her a lullaby to the tune of House of the Rising Sun. Needless to say, I killed it. This lullaby was about an hour long and was composed of lyrics that included vaginas with teeth, boyfriends shedding back hair, and girls with empty eye sockets stealing other people’s eyes. Maybe I should write songs for children…I’m sure she won’t have nightmares
