"The human soul was not made for fame
“15 Christ is the exact likeness of God, who can’t be seen. He is first, and he is over all of creation. 16 All things were created by him. He created everything in heaven and on earth. He created everything that can be seen and everything that can’t be seen. He created kings, powers, rulers and authorities. Everything was created by him and for him. 17 Before anything was created, he was already there. He holds everything together "
Colossians 1
"James 1:27, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and
faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep
oneself from being polluted by the world."
What to do what to do
I know when I need to write because I start writing to myself in my head. That sounds crazy, I know. Today is one of those days. I woke up with this sense of excitment about what’s to come and have been chatting to myself about it all morning. Oh the ideas that float around in my head…I wish somehow they would automatically go into a folder on my computer through icloud or some crazy technology. Instead, my thoughts jump and so do I and I wake up everyday with different ideas and nothing to show of them.
Im 100% positive I was created to create, but what? Do I paint? Im not a great painter. Do I draw? I can sketch something up every now and then but Im not a great drawer. Wriite? Im not great at that either. So I jump. If I want to draw, I jump and draw. If I want to write, I jump and write. My problem is everything is appealing to me. I want to do it all. I don’t necessarily think that this is a bad thing but I feel like Im okay at a million things and not yet great at anything. This also makes me afraid of commiting myself to anything. The thought always goes through my head…”I can’t say yes to this and only this what about that and what about if that other thing happens and what if something I don’t yet know about pops up?”
My goal this year if to trump this fear, to focus and create something I am proud of. Something big. Something awesome. Something I know I was made for. Will it happen? I don’t know. I would much rather create a goal and at least try then to wake up with a lifetime of intentions and no action.

"
Your eyes are full
Full of the future of us
The air changes as you look across
At me in that wondering way
It is as if
I knew you before we spoke
Do our hearts know something we don’t?
Conspiring, converging without giving us any say
You, sing me to sleep
Talk down my walls
Look through my windows as I wait
You could be the thief
I give the key to
You’re ruining me
With secrets and gestures and looks
With sonnets from second-hand books
Playing the chords in me nobody knew how to play
It fits in your hand like water in rain
It unlocks our two different selves
And shows we are the same
Rather than wait `til I put me out for the taking
You’re breaking
You’re breaking
You’re breaking into my heart
And I’m letting you
brooke fraser the thief
