I wrote this over a year ago.

Girls get chins hairs.

Get over it.

"For we have all received from His fullness one gracious gift after another."

a car that never leaves me.
hair good enough to never think about.
housemates that care. A lot.
a boss that spoils me.
health.
health.
health.
an able body that reaches and stretches and sweats and burns.
a job career.
having enough.
being enough.
my little corner of a really great house.
my mom. my dad. my sister. my grandma.
a protective heart.
an instinctive head.
my shoe closet.
my scarf collection.
a never-ending supply of vanilla soy milk
and cheerios.
a God that is uninterested in
what i brought
but is obsessed with
how long i'm here.
a disposable(ish) income.
a selfish age.
a single life.
friends that aren't just friends anymore--
they're seats around the table at my
imaginary wedding.
they're praying hands
worried
that i'm doing ok.
they're pokes in my side
to make sure
i am.
for the 12 rock bottoms.
for Bad.
for Worse.
for Better.

Thank you.

I don’t know what to do.

Or maybe I do,
but I don’t have the strength to.
Regardless,
today’s prayer is not just about
peace
like every other day since
June.
Because
God’s not choosy with His
blessings.
Because He wants our ultimate
happiness.
Because He just wants
Us--
in whatever state of emergency
we have found a way to
settle.
Today,
I pray not just for an
outpouring of
Peace,
but also for the
spirit
it takes to
wait for it
or
go find it,
the will
it takes to accept
even if it
never comes.
