"...suddenly I turned around and she was standing there with silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns - "Come in", she said "And I'll give you shelter from the storm"

.written upon my heart.


So faithful….

Father, I see You everywhere. In every aspect of my life ….faithful. It’s the continual strand throughout my life that never changes, no matter the circumstance … no matter the path I choose to walk….You are … faithful.

So constant…..

I cannot go one day, Lord - without being pursued by Your fierce love. I am constantly overcome. … Lord, I don’t understand your lack of weariness throughout my life - in the most beautiful times of my life…you danced with me. - and in the midst of my own hell … you followed, and surrounded my all. “even here, I am with you” …those were YOUR words, my beautiful Jesus.

So loving and so true
So powerful in all you do

You fill me….

Lord, I cannot escape the beauty of who You are in me. Your desperate compassion, mercy, understanding, grace … all so evident throughout my life bring me to my face. humbled. Your imagination so alive within me fills me with your joy … and the essence of your tenderness consumes me almost painfully …sometimes, Lord…I confess … it is too strong …sometimes I feel as though I have to turn away because the persistent brilliance of this tenderness is just too much for this daughter grasp.

You see me….

I can’t outrun you. I can’t hide myself far enough within the walls of my soul to escape the Life you refuse to cease offering. I can’t confuse myself enough….can’t listen to the lies enough…can’t drown myself in confusion enough….to get away from you. You continue…and continue …and continue…to see me. Every outlet of my soul, is in full view of your grace, forgiveness, and restoring love.

:::You know my every move:::You love for me to sing to you:::

I know that you are for me….I know that you are for me….I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness ::: Father, your constant is fearful to me. I don’t understand…can’t comprehend … can’t grasp even the idea of the fullness of your love. Why? …you should have let me go long ago… and yet never for a second could I escape you. My heart longs for you because of this, Jesus.


I know that you have come down ::: Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me who you are

Lord, inscribed upon my heart…this the very definition of who You are. I am known by You … and so carefully…because you are fearful to behold in all your beauty … You…are known by me….and yet I know that I cannot even begin to take hold of even the fullness of your name. - you are fiercely loved by the daughter whom you have named, Eternal. …

Please. Never. Stop. …I love you. I need you. Every aspect of who I am … stands before you, Jesus Christ…Savior … as a desperate, needy daughter who cannot get enough.

I’m messy … I’m passionately ridiculous and flighty… I make all the wrong moves and say the sillies of things and have the most ridiculous of notions … but I love your truth. I have known your grace … and because of your promises….I am defined by your love.

You are written upon the depths of who I am…and I love you.

....beautiful Father.
