Second cup of coffee. I’ve been here for hours transcribing recorded audio from interviews, uploading photographs, and writing, writing, writing. Good thing I love #journalism. (at Starbucks)

Breanna. Learning to love and be loved from the One who is Love.
Grace carried me here,
and by Grace I’ll carry on.
footsteps wandering through the dark.
night wraps around the sadness that encases my heart.
if only it were dawn, my eyes need light.
oh to see hope on the horizon,
to open the caverns of my soul
and be filled with life again.

"I write because things are personal. And we usually believe we’re the only ones with very personal things going on. So much so we think them unique problems.
I don’t really write to be personal. I write to both heal and be healed."
I don’t really write to be personal. I write to both heal and be healed."
where light fades and day ends
where misery and hope collide
where the sun kisses the horizon
as the hush of dusk cloaks the world in shadow
where our hearts meet and embrace
and everything pauses in place
to gaze in the beauty and wonder
sunset is Your creation

to remove myself
far away
on a beach bathed in glory
to feel the sun
warm on my skin
to wake up from this winter
I still believe in this, I still believe
a summer exists
this is just a season
will You pull me through?
this is just a cold place to be
will You carry me on?
revive me in Your truth,
I need to hear Your voice again
to listen to the ocean
rushing in,
crashing in waves upon the shore
as You wash my mind new

I looked and saw
hope on the horizon
between the cleft
and rock
a light glowed
and water flowed
the rush of life ebbed near
if only I can make it there

Your love extends farther than the ocean stretches to the horizon
beyond how far the eye can see
flowing and rushing forever upon my shore

out here in the the open air
my lungs inhale deeper,
exhale clearer.
I can
breathe.
no longer smothered,
my mind uncluttered.

light touches
revives these limbs back to life
for once
I can move
I can feel
even if just for a moment
Your light touched me
and the day awoke within me
I’m alive

beautiful voices
carried through silence
echoing off stone walls
lilting to my window
hymns of Hope
t’was a melody of joy
my tongue wanted to sing
with holy sons and daughters
life sprang into my bones
and I creaked open the glass
just to hear more clearly
a sound I’d forgotten
in my locked tower of hiding

tracing memories in my mind
silhouettes of moments
that never fade completely
stay with me
like a shadow
the dark following every step
always with me in the light
in shifting shapes
reminiscing places I never wanted to know
or be
will this bitter taste ever leave?

locked knees,
looking up
in their shadows
there’s wonder
it takes roots to stand this tall
hidden, deep
miles below my feet
what’s below the surface holds

I will run to the ocean and crash into the waves as the sun sets across these waters that reach to a horizon that never ends
