fear -verb 1. frighten 2. to feel fear in (oneself) 3. to have reverential awe of <fear God>

i was looking through random folders on my laptop and came across this photo i took my freshmen year at the arb. i remember looking at this picture in the past and always feeling a bit somber. i never took the time to really ask myself why i felt this way. i guess the fear of...

freedom can be
independence day, martin luther king jr, braveheart… these are just a few things that come into my mind. but, i realized that TRUE freedom can’t be experienced until Christ is in the picture. freedom IS Christ. tonight, i would have to say, was the first time ever in my life when i experienced what being free and burdenless are like. my shoulders are lighter.

why is it
that the closer you are with someone, the harder it is to love them? when i take a good minute to reflect on some of my relationships with people, i’m distraught at the fact that i cover the truth behind the reality of how broken it is.

i’m a mess....
