And.... she's back! Hopefully.

There once was a time when people scurried about their little apartment bumping into things and
spilling coffee on their pants. Shirt. Floor. You know, anything within reach actually. Some times they studied or took tests or baked cookies. Mostly they went to work. And to the gym. And then to sleep.
And by people I mean.. well. ME!
Life+last 8 months+moenelly= CRAZY. Ima tell you why.
Reading.work.parent-teacher-conferences.monks.one-pound-after-another.spinclass.earlymornings.rule-of-life. but mostly just LIFE. Good and sometimes overwhelming life.
And now more crazy will come I'm sure of it.
And I'm not always sure, I mean how does one keep putting one foot in front of the other?
It's all in the faith I suppose. And one strong Love.
And I just keep singing this, because it's true. And Ranunculus are in season.
And spring is here. And some where, in here, in all the chaos there is a plan. A good, crazy, unseen plan.
I'm pretty sure it involves coffee and the occasional chocolate. So here I am.

Your Love is Strong- Jon Foreman

Heavenly Father 
You always amaze me
Let your kingdom come 
In my world and in my life
You give me the food I need 
To live through the day
And forgive me as I forgive 
The people that wronged me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window 
The birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune 
Or out of place
I look at the meadow 
And stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl 
On her wedding day

So why do I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need


Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

The kingdom of the heavens 
Is now advancing
Invade my heart 
Invade this broken town
The kingdom of the heavens 
Is buried treasure
Will you sell yourself 
To buy the one you've found?

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me


Our God in heaven
Hallowed be
Thy name above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us wicked sinners
Lead us far away from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons
