Broken Daughter

Broken daughter...Come back to Me.

Why is it another life you seek?

Am I not the One who gave you breath?

Did I not save you from death?

There is no other who loves you more;

No other who you should adore.

Why do you wander so far away?

This is why your spirit I break.

Your wandering heart no more should long

For anything else then your Father's home.

For only here can you find

A life that is full and love divine.

I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.
Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:19-23

My goal for 2009

"Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! "

~ Henry David Thoreau

I've been thinking about life lately. My life in particular. I find that for far too long I've let silly details consume my life and steal my joy. I want this year to begin my journey toward serenity. I want to find pleasure in stillness. I want to seek God. I want to put aside things that distract me and sit in the stillness of His beauty. I want to learn to pray and share my heart and soul with the One they were created for. I want to be defined by more then my job. I want to believe that I'm okay even if I'm single. I want to find new ways to express myself. I want to create. I want to see. Maybe I want to much.... but I will continue to strive for it.....

"...make it your goal to live quietly, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands..."
