come home, one republic

So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

Even when it seems like all hope is gone,

like nothing will ever go like I kind of wish it would...

well, I go outside

and I lie on the trampoline,

staring up at that blue, blue sky. 

i pray.

i say to God,

"God, I need to know that You are everything. That You are all I need. That You are the only One who matters, the only One I need seek to find. Even when it seems like every worry in the world is legit, when I don't really know where I'm going or what people are thinking...

You are all I need.

In You I beg,

peace. 

I want to be content. For right now, not for what might be. Just to be. And not worry. And just be. 

In You

is peace. 

He does. He loves me. Jesus is real, and the other day, I wrote so many words, as something I always knew spoke as reality. 

Jesus died for me.

Maybe I'll type those words up,

because in them,

now I know.

I am alive. 

"I have been crucified with Christ and no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
