Ordered a Caesar Salad today, proceeded to stab it 23 times before consumption. Nobody else found it as hilarious.

So Long Security: Truth

good truths to remember

sarahfairah:

I know that God put my friend Christina in my life for a reason 5 1/2 years ago. She has been there for me through the ups and downs, and is a woman I admire and respect for her passion and unwavering devotion to God. I recently was able to spend an evening with her, and these are the truths that…

A Roughly Written Sonnet.

Seated outside in the cool black night

I feel the desperate longings of my heart.

The lonely stars look back at me, bright,

With me in this sadness from the start.

In quiet I try to listen, deep in thought,

I know my burning passions cry

And wondering what to do I ought

Yet no tear falls from my eye.

The reason for this journey I do not

Know, and I pause often asking why

Have I been waiting so long in this place?

The closest form of answer I have got

Is that I am not supposed to try

To fix, but must learn the patterns of God’s grace.

adventure.

I crave it. To go and explore. To discover things before unknown. I long to travel the world, to experience new cultures, to go climb mountains, to see the depths of the oceans. To go on an expedition through a remote jungle. 

Today I realized something quite exciting. I know the most mysterious and unknown. I know God. But how little of him do I know! I know of his love and his mercy, of his grace that is deeper than the ocean. God is not bound but exists before all else. 

I have found the adventure that so many never see. I want to swim the oceans of God’s grace, to climb the mountains of his justice, to explore the vastness of his love and mercy.

I am on a grand adventure- to discover in personal experience the greatness of God. And oh boy am I ready to go.

Some Poems are Silly

You know. 

And sometimes they’re great. And I love reading them and writing them. 

But sometimes prose is great. Actually a lot of the time prose is great.

And all the time, Jesus is great. Really great. 

He loves me. He sees me. He knows me. Deeply and intricately and overwhelmingly. 

And while I don’t know what He’s doing with my life or where it’s going, and while I often feel lost and confused, I am given ultimate joy and peace in knowing that He IS. He is. He is who He says He is. He is good. He is love. He is gentle. He is strong. He is wonderful. And He loves me. 

He loves me. He loves me. 

Oh how He loves me. 

It doesn’t make sense. But the Creator of the Universe, the Maker of all things, the Divine Spirit whose expanse is immeasurable; He loves me.

Train.

I love when the train goes by at night. 

Its blaring horn sounds loud and clear, piercing the air, interrupting whatever else is going on. 

It shouts for me when I feel like I don’t have the space. It shouts for me when I haven’t acknowledged that I’m upset. It shouts for me. 

I love when the train shouts for me. I feel better. And when the horn is done announcing the trains presence, the low rumbling of it chugging through the night goes on, telling me that life will be alright. 

I’ll scream and go on. Scream and go on. 

Thank you, Train.

Old and New

A little over a year ago I created a personal, private blog. I created it to have a space just for me, where I could be still and process the happenings of my daily life. Sometimes I use it for making to-do lists. More often it holds the raw deep pieces of my soul that are reserved for me and my Lord. Occasionally it contains fun posts that I just didn’t feel like sharing with everyone at the time. 

I recently was reading back through some posts and decided that I want to share a few of them. And now that’s what I’m going to do.
