Love

I'm certainly still in some sort of a funk today. I know that there are specific situations in my world at the moment that are throwing me off, and, in the end it's more about me not living centered from a place of Love and belovedness. Recently, this song has been giving words to the hope I have about my journey. That ultimately it's about discovering that Love is enough - and living from that place - for me and for the world. Hopefully I can sparkle a little more every day.

Anna Nalick - In the Rough

You say you fell while holding diamonds in your hands"
It's your fault for running, holding diamonds," I said
And I offer no sympathy for that
I hear that it was you who died alone
And I offer no sympathy for that
Better off I sparkle on my own

And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough

I turned around 3 times and wound up at your door
Now you say you know all you did not know before
And I offer no sympathy for that
I hear that it was you who died alone
And I offer no sympathy for that
Better off I sparkle on my own

And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough

I got your love letters
I threw them all away
And I hear you think that I'm crazy
I'm driving 95
And I'm driving you away
And I shine a little more lately

Someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough
Someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough

I shine a little more lately

ps - watch soon for a post on the word 'but' and how I've cut it out of my vocabulary.

Maria,
I love reading your blog and getting insights into your journey with God. The road to living from the place you describe and the 'funks' along the way can be long and arduous. And yet, God doesn't tear down without the intention to build something new in its place. I see the foundations being poured and anxiously await God's new things in you.

PS - Looking forward to the post on 'but.' :)

Honey, Just a reminder of the fact that I love you and feel so fortunate that I get to watch you sparkle every day.

Once you cut but out of your vocab, the next to go is should
