Daddy,
I have loved men in the past and I may love many more in the future.
…but let me remind you that no matter what He has planned, you’ll always be my favorite guy. Always. I love you.

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Drops of grief can never repay the debt of love I owe; here, God, I give my self away. ‘Tis all that I can do.
‘Tis all that I can do.
See that your chief study is about your heart: that there, God’s image is...

“You know… it’s starting to feel like I can’t even remember days without a heavy struggle, and it’s hard to believe these storms will ever pass. But I’m learning to stop placing hope in the sunny days, and start placing my hope on a solid rock. On Christ alone, the solid rock I stand. Maybe circumstance won’t change- will that defeat me? WIll that disappoint me? It has. Every day is a...
