lionhearted

 because the words do not come easily unless I make a list //

+These last couple weeks have slipped by and melted unto the wet sidewalks that reflect the street lights at night. Seems that it is either raining or wet snow comes down in sheets, I guess the weather cannot make up its mind either

+Deadlines and final papers have kept me focused, but to say that I have been too busy to write would be a lie

+ Half written blog posts fill my dashboard and remind me of the silent dinners where I had nothing to say; not angry, not sad, just wordless

+ Fridays spent traipsing  around town and stopping at the same stores every time make my week go 'round.

+Night hikes with the brother and friend are always amazing. The higher you climb the clearer the city lights get, and from the top of the mountain, even in the fog, thoughts can become so loud that you cannot hear anything else

+I've been listening to a lot of songs that either make me dance around the kitchen or have me sitting in my room looking at old pictures

+Several new books line my shelves and I have not read any of them. I keep promising myself that I will finish all the new novels on the long overseas flight, but that never seems to happen

+There is nothing like driving in my brother's car with the volume turned up and the windows down

+Hiking with the family on a warm day makes me long for summer

+I tried writing a letter to a wounded soldier yesterday, but I could not find the words. I wish I knew what to say

+Dark theaters with good music and even better friends have always been a highlight

+Scary movies are not my thing

+Let life happen. The good, the bad, the heartbreaks and the goodbyes. How else do we learn?

+Worship is simply giving God His breath back. -Lou Giglio

+I do not want to wait anymore  

+Late night conversations, right before bed, are the best and the most real. I love honest moments

+I miss my puppy {that really was not a puppy anymore}

I still feel like I am at a loss for words, not because of any bad thing, but just because of the silence that follows me around. I guess stillness is a good time to listen for His voice, maybe we cannot hear it otherwise.
