Stream of Consciousness
Intercession . Content Warning.
When I was younger, and even now, from time to time, I get frustrated with God. I question God in my heart. “Why do you put such heavy burdens in my heart for people? I see their suffering a mile away.” Walking miles in the shoes of other people leaves me feeling so worn down and exhausted. The sadness, the pain, the need for healing, and the desire to see people free from addiction… It all adds up and it feels overwhelming to my heart. Empathy is a gift and huge responsibility from what I am learning. Empathy is used by God to bring people to action. I’m called to act and follow the compassion or burdens that are God-given. It’s beautiful and exciting. Sometimes it feels very urgent, in how I should respond quickly to the brokenness of others before me. Here are some questions I ask myself: Is time running out for people? Is time running out for me to respond? What limits do I have? How can I rely on your power more, God?

7 Years of Bad Luck
The day I met him I broke a mirror. I should have known it wasn't going to end well. After seven years I finally waked away. I finally took him off the pedestal and his fall from grace looks great from this point of view. I gave him all the best of me. I wasn't surprised how we ended but that doesn't mean that it didn't hurt. The love wa there but that didn't really change anything. It didn't save anyone. There were just too many forces against us but it still didn't matter that the love was there. When he told me that being in love felt like a job, not something he really wanted, just something you have to do, a part of me broke.

Beginning Phases
What is life? I have a million ideas at once but just need money to be able to relax and live my life. I just had an idea of if I started a series where I walked up to people and asked what their job was, and their least and favorite thing about the holidays, their cities, America, etc.
