disparity

don't assume anyone expects the world of you. they're probably just as scared of being given the smallest corner of your life, as you are of placing it in their hands.


it's hard not to be selfish if you can't exercise self control.


i am afraid that because my heart wanders i will spend more of my days in the wilderness than in the land of plenty.


discipline is not a bad word.


(the sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit. and He will not despise a broken and humbled heart.)

someone else's blog

i read something interesting today.
i like the way donald miller writes.
i don't agree with everything he has ever written, but i like the way he writes.
and i like his name.
donald is a great name.

handiwork

the distance from my car parked in the driveway to my front door is perfect.
on clear nights, it gives me just enough time to glimpse a ceiling of dark black night freckled with bright light and to stand underneath it in simple awe.
sometimes there is a cheshire cat moon.
but all i can ever say is, 'yes, You are wonderful.'

ham, cheese and avocado

cheese toasties made in the oven grill are one of my favourite everyday foods to eat. 

i have a dear friend who i like to make them with.

we have made them in many different seasons of life. 

we are both petrified of the possibility of thinking you could spend the rest of your life with just one person. mostly because it seems impossible to ever know who it could be.

obviously, you'll have to like making cheese toasties with them.

otherwise, i am ill-experienced to comment.

but part of me would like to say that you probably shouldn't settle for anyone, anywhere who thinks less of you than these words:

and if all the faces in the world

had half of your kindness

or half of your sweetness

then happy i would be.
