5

I'm getting big
I'm getting grown
I'm louder than
I've ever been
Because of being 5

I'm getting old
I'm getting tired
I'm making noise
And running hard
Because of being 5

I spin around
In spinny chairs
 I groan and sing aloud
I dream up to the stratosphere
Because of being 5

Avoid Hypocrisy by striving to live for God the way you should with honesty about the remnants of sin in your heart and life. Don't pretend to be good, but don't abandon the pursuit of Christ-likeness because you are not like Him yet.

your soul is a fire
exploding through space
your love is entirely
filling our space

as we run through horizons 
and clutch at our dreams
that bright streaming soulscream
will make our hearts free

heartfull

Streets paved with prejudice
hearts full of shame
daughter of zion
is that still your name?
Compassion, Combustion
Compulsion to run
Redeemer, Messiah
This fight will be won.

Worshipping, Screaming
and crying His name
His love is the cover
 His peace is your gain
Yeshua, Avinu
All comfort He owns
So run broken daughter
and rest at His throne.

driving fast with the windows down


Dipping my fingers in the water-wind of time
as the tendrils of my hair whip around my face
totally totality beautiful insanity
rapid songs and split-toned dreams
emulsions floating full of themes
darkroom feelings clattering
eat my soul and reign supreme
freedom calls and hear me scream
down we go and dream and dream
alive alive we feel alive
hair on fire, car in drive
the name forever on our lips
is Jesus our redeemer
the theme of all our earthly days
eternity's refrain

Resolved: To fuse my moments of banality with the passion I wish i were spending in climbing distant mountain ranges and swimming in far-off seas. If I am to right now live in the everyday routine, then I must really LIVE it.
To dance with the attitude that it may be my last dance, to love people as if it may be my last day to love them, to frame each photograph with the knowledge that it may be the last view through my eyes that anyone could ever see.
This living's not for me. It's so much bigger than I feel.
