for all i have lost
for all i am not
for all that was not as i had hoped
for every crumpled dream
for every tear on every mask-cracked face
for every piece of the world that breaks
just a little bit more…
for
all
the
pain
`
i weep
`
i nestle knees to chest
and wonder
WHY???
which he never answers
`
instead he always tells me
who
truth, way, life
hope, strength, refuge
creator, redeemer, sustainer
right hand, banner, shepherd
bread and water, vine and door
one who hears, who sees, who knows, who—
why?—
who?
I AM
this is so beautiful right now. a lot of stuff i’m learning right now, especially about paying attention to what identity God gives us and remembering that I don’t get/have to name myself. i just found your blog through Abigayle and i’m definitely going to read through it now ❤

I really love what you did with this! So much truth and very poignant. I envy your poetry skills–everything you write speaks to me! Have you looked into publishing any of your poetry?? I would buy it a collection!! 🙂

(also I can’t access most social media from where I am right now [which I’m not sticking up on WP but you should know where I am xD] but my iPod still gives me notifications for some reason even though I can’t read the entirety of them or anything, so I do know you got an exciting something but I can’t act on that information until I return =P)
