lights & streamers

lights by Ellie Goulding 

these are the streamers from jenna's old room, she gave them to me for my summer place, i'm waiting for the girls to come to help me put them up. this summer is going to be wonderful, tons of time for projects, inspiration & growth! i miss my roommates, all of them, all i have ever had. but at the same time it is quite enjoyable to live on my own, i should treasure it now before my summer guests arrive!

rotten baby kale leaves

i do not admit enough, my cold heart and my jealous mind...

i don't confess like i should, and i forget how broken i am.

a couple weeks ago the congregation read this prayer together.

this will be my daily surrender.

a prayer from the painted door
- - - - -- - - - - -- - - -- - - --- -- - -- -- - - -- - - - - -- --- - -- ---
If you acknowledge me before men,
I also will acknowledge you before my Father in heaven.
But if you deny me before men,
I also will deny you before my Father in heaven.
- - -- -- - - -- - - - - -- --- - -- --- - - - - -- - - - - -- - - -- - - --- -
Forgive us, Lord Jesus, we have denied you before men.

Is his blood not on our hands?

Let all the house of Israel know for certain
God has made him both Lord and Christ,
This Jesus whom you crucified.
-- -- - - -- - - - - -- --- - -- --  - --- - - -- - - - - -- - - -- - - --- -
Forgive us, Lord Jesus, we have betrayed you unto death.
-- --- - - - - -- - - - - -- - - -- - - --- -- - -- -- - - -- - - - --  - -- -
Who among us can claim faithfulness?
The hour is coming and indeed has come,
When you will be scattered, each to his own home,
And will leave me alone.
-- --  --- - - - - -- - - - - -- - - -- - - --- -- -- -- - - -- - - -  -- --  -
Forgive us, Lord Jesus, we have abandoned you in trouble.
We have sought refuge in false gods, rather than suffer with you.
We have run our own ways, rather than follow you to the cross.
