be my friend

Shall we stand in awe a little, together?
Let us discuss our great need and feel, together, the great ache of humankind.
Let us rejoice, together, in the miracle, the salvation which defies the laws of logic and understanding.
And if a few tears escape let us urge each other to be unashamed of the joy.
Let us point our fingers, let us redirect one another's attention to the goal.
Catch my hand when I begin to wander from the shadow of the cross.
Hold tight to pull me from the sloughs of despond and doubt.
Let us stay close in the cold of this world to fan each other's flame.
Let us build our friendship to last beyond time.

I just checked your blog again... Thanks for keeping it up!

I could comment on every one of them but I wouldn't know what to say - they are so beautiful.

Thanks for being my friend. Even though I do a lousy job sometimes. I miss you.

...that's what I'm doing right now.  I have papers to write but I am so slow this morning.  I'm sitting on the awesome kitchen stool we have with my laptop on the counter beside the kettle and my towel hanging off the cupboard door, just enjoying my coffee (Dunkin Donuts Hazelnut, it was on sale...  On of the things you don't find in Ontario) It's a happy morning.  I don't exactly know why...  Perhaps some recent blessings are sinking in.  God is providing for me, I have a bit less uncertainty about the next little while, and I've enjoyed a lot of good phone conversations in the last little bit...  And some good in person conversations too =)    On a random note there are roses on the table, snipped from the bush outside.  Roses in November!  I walk past a big rosebush to get to my car, almost every day.  I love it.  This just started on my playlist so I will share it with you, it's a favorite. Speaking of ...

late night ramblings, because it's that time of year

Technically speaking my birthday has just ended.  I suppose I should be in bed but it's that time of night and of course I'm waxing eloquent and ignoring my need for beauty rest... I just wanted to nail down a few things that stand out from my year of being 24.  (Because I know when I am finished being 25 I'll get nostalgic and go looking for birthday blog posts .) I've had dark years.  Years that were marked by what one of my professors/coworkers calls the "dark night of the soul."  I don't know that I would say that 24 was dark.  But I think I have been learning how to grieve this year.  More than ever before I have seen my own weakness, my own limitations, my own fallenness and the lack and brokenness of the world around me.  And in many little ways I've been forced to give up the notion that I can do  enough to reverse these things.  Oh, what precious grace that has driven me to cry out to the Lord more than I ever have before!  I...
