sometimes i think
i’ve got it
i think i’m
doing so good and then..
i’m hit
i’m hit with
the burdens of my expectations, my imperfections
i can’t seem
to breathe
and just
when i thought I’d learned to breathe deeper than ever
i panic, i cry,
i get irrational, i don’t respond to things like i normally would
just when I think
i’ll never breathe again
a breath of
air floats my way
it floats so
softly and gently that i almost miss it
i probably
have missed it,
it’s been
there all along i just couldn’t take it in
i couldn’t
get my mouth to open or my body to inhale before
and now i can
part my lips i can inhale as much as I can handle
my body
begins to relax out of it’s panic
i’m not
breathing as deep as i once was
But someday i’ll
breathe deeper

discovering Jesus, finding holy moments daily,
that will make
us whole.”

words acknowledge that imagination is just as important as
reality
without imagination how would we shape our future
our future reality would be bleak without first dreaming
about it
dreams influence our desires, desires influence our dreams
"what we insistently desire is what we will ultimately become"
-neal a maxwell
here's to imagining, dreaming, desiring.....
insistently
till I've become

as i walked to work this morning
i had a perfect moment.
a moment of definition -
they come when i have been prepared
they come when i am still -
these moments are sweet and peaceful
i felt the cool air on my skin
the silence surrounding me
my feet kept walking but my soul wanted to stop
to soak it all in till i could almost disappear into the moment itself
and then i heard the whisper of
"remember"
remember this sweetness this almost utter perfectness
for when i can remember these times of definition
i am made strong in my moments of weakness
"here than is a great truth.
in the pain, the agony, and the heroic endeavors of life,
we pass through a refiner's fire,
and the insignificant and the unimportant in our lives
can melt away like dross and make our faith
bright, intact and strong.
in this way the divine image can be mirrored from the soul.
it is part of the purging toll exacted of some to
become acquainted with God."
