and these are the words that happen behind the scenes of a messy, vulnerable, yet painfully beautiful journey with the Spirit of the Lord...
Father has been teaching me the gift of moments savored not shared.
in a world that is obsessed with defining a moment by exposing it to the world, there is a sacredness in the hiddenness of beauty.
however, this pen-on-paper moment.
these marks of ink that sunk into my heart defined a season for me.
it's been a wild year.
i celebrated a birthday just a little over a month ago.
and i've been overwhelmed by how much i have yet to grow.
there are times, yes, when it seems like there's so much pain and so little progress.
i have been under the knife of the steady hand of the Father over the last months.
when i think i've come so far, it is then when i am reminded of my insufficiency.
i am not enough.
i have not reached my max capacity of goodness (as if you can cap infinity).
i am still broken open, singing through the wailing, dancing through the uncertainty, learning to invite the Presence of the Lover into my every moment of every day.
oh, but i am overwhelmed.
undone.
completely unraveled.
melting in the goodness.
so much goodness.
oh, Father.
so much goodness.
...
i think the words that i write, the songs that i sing.
are never a product of just one moment.
i think who i am in this moment is a revealing of a lifetime of process.
i am always in the becoming.
i am always in the growing.
the ground has just been broken, the seed has only been planted, the roots have so far to journey in the garden of the Father.
here's my heart.
in the moment.
it’s like everything around me was bursting open with the fullness of His goodness and it’s His tenderness and gentleness and quietness and steady patience that brands in me the truth of my identity and i felt as if today layers of my false identity died as the depths of my being that just yearn for Him were resurrected. all in all in all in. i want all in. i want You all the time, everywhere, in everything, all my life. i think i’m at the breaking point of my capacity to hold His beauty. Father, expand my ability to hold what you’re pouring into my being.
i invite you to invade every aspect of my existence. i give you access to take control over every area of my life. i want our communion to be always. i want to be so connected. so connected that the whole world knows who comes first. that You come first. i want to experience life all in. i only have one life to live on this earth and i'm not wasting it. i'm done wasting it. i want You. every second of every hour of every day for a lifetime. i want you in every moment for my whole lifetime. i want you, just you, all you, only you, forever you. if i have you i don't need anything and i have you so i have everything. Holy Spirit, come invade my atmospheres. move in me. fill me. pour over me. into me. until i overflow. all my life- overflow.
