There are moments sometimes where words escape me, where my voice seems to be lost amidst a flurry of thoughts. I've been meaning to write for a while now, but I haven't had anything relevant to say, nor the right words to make what I want to say hold any value. Today, however, I feel inspired. A mix of my favorite authors and their words all ( Read more... )

I sometimes find myself sitting and reflecting on how I arrived at such a point in my life. Curious about where my life could have gone, and wondering how big a difference all of the little decisions have made. I've had a lot of time to sit and think lately, reflecting on the little moments of my life that have defined who I've become. I pointed ( Read more... )

It's amazing sometimes, to sit back and smell the roses. To simply reflect on the amazing things placed in front of you. Perhaps it's the drive through the country, sun shining down, clouds floating through the air, or maybe it's the chat shared in a coffee shop by two old friends, but life really is amazing ( Read more... )

Jesus I call, out cause I'm sorry, because I fall, so short of your glory."

A little Relient K is always good.

Thank you,

Erin.

Sometimes the elephants in the room loom over me and sufficate me until I can't breathe.  I sometimes wish I could just open the doors and let them all out- let them parade around for a bit.  I feel a little too old to have so many elephants these days.  A little too wise as well.  I'm in this constant state of growing and learning, but the ( Read more... )

There is a part of me that is constantly lost in confusion.  Lost into the small box I confine myself to everyday.  It is in this box that I continuously struggle to find a balance between all I am and all I want to be.  I struggle often to step out of this box, to escape from my own confinment but it seems to be impossible.  And one of the ( Read more... )

I think that God has a sense of humor, though I'm not quite sure what it is.  And the words of some random song are floating around in my head and I think it's because I can relate them to my life right now.  "I have seen the others, and I have discovered that this fight is not worth fighting.  And I've seen their mothers and I will no others to ( Read more... )
