When you’re so lonely lying in bed
Night’s closed it’s eyes but you can’t rest your head
Everyone’s sleeping all through the house
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
so I sift through my thoughts and don’t let the questionable ones out because frankly,
so much of me is reserved,
and I just don’t think some things need to be said.

got a letter from Alaska today that made my entire night better :D I love my crazy lil Brea!
lessons that I have learned in the past two years, just off the top of my head:
-you will have no other gods
-be community based and not individual
-forget your stupid list
-trust with finances, everything is always provided
-turn the other cheek to those who slander you and sin against you
-have, along with the above, some sort of sense of justice to actually know when you are being sinned against: have grace, but recognize that it really is grace for others’ wrong and not what they actually deserve
-do not withhold grace from those that withhold it from you
-give give give
-believe in the power of prayer; know the Word
-fast, tithe
-dream big; follow God to the point where you allow Him to wreck your big dreams and hand you Kingdom-dreams
-be involved in a church family
-you have been placed where you are because you are the only one who can handle your specific circumstances: stop any envy of the physically poor
-bloom where you’re planted first
-you already are a missionary: live like it
-suspend judgement
-have intimacy with God
-CHRIST ALONE IS YOUR IDENTIFIER. NO TRUE IDENTITY IS FOUND OUTSIDE OF HIM. HE LOVES YOU.
keep hearing the roof of my parents’ house creek; keep wondering if it’s angels landing or if I am just too over-stimulated and my imagination needs to take a chill pill
probably both; it’s 5 am.
