"I know you're lost and need to be found, just take my hand and we'll shake the ground."



"You wake up, You wake up, another day, you wake up, you wake up, traffic still moving at the same speed, our eyes looking at the same speed, our minds thinking at the same speed, I wanna see movement, I wanna see change. I wanna wake up for real. I wanna wake up. I wanna wake up. We were meant to live."
 - Jon Foreman
I am not so lonely knowing someone who sees things as I see them. Jonathan Foreman, you never cease to amaze me with the way you seem to speak from the deepest chambers of my very own soul. I could read your words for hours because you put things the exact way I can understand...and relate to.

Life is...strange. I can't say that it's bad. It's really not. It's just strange right now. I'm having vivid, vivid dreams that leave me with questions and desires. I am so ready to travel.

"I yearn to live and love and burn, and yet so much of my time is spent faking and forgetting, faking and forgetting... I carry out my disbelief with uninspired hands, my eyes shut, my emotions dulled, my spirit numb. in times like these I am in desperate need of truth to come to me like a blinding light, like a splinter in my soul, reminding me of the brevity of my time here on earth."
- Jon Foreman

For lately, I have shed many a tear. Thoughts have come and gone...resolutions I have uttered and prayed for the strength to see through. God, help me. I am ready to move forward. I am ready for peace.

"There are tears that shine like a smile, sobbing like a sunrise for the truth."
- Jon Foreman.

  1. Hello! This is completely random, but I just wanted to say, I love your blog. I had just been looking up some Jon Foreman quotes and it redirected me to your blog site. Skimmed through your posts, and you have some beautiful writing here. We seem pretty similar because we both like Jon Foreman & Don Miller, etc. I absolutely loved that marriage passage from "Blue Like Jazz" also. So amazing.

    Anyway, yeah I just wanted to say I really liked your posts. They're hopeful and real and alive. Psalm 40 - "He lifted me out of the mire...He steadied my feet as I walked along." Keep clinging to God.

    - someone who's trying to figure out life and God and love too. =)
