sometimes

sometimes your soul needs space to breathe. 

sometimes your mind needs time to think. 

sometimes your spirit needs quiet to hear its own voice.

and then sometimes you find you hold in your heart the hope that a new season brings.

happy first day of spring, friends.

"see, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare;
before they spring into being I announce them to you.”
[isaiah 42:9]

mercies

this has been my go-to song when life get overwhelming.

car troubles, wedding planning, health issues, living situation, loneliness, insecurities, struggles with anxiety...

today i'm claiming His new mercies for me.

through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed,

because His compassions fail not.

they are new every morning;

great is Your faithfulness.

[lamentations 3:22-23]

nothing can separate

even if I ran away

Your love never fails

i know i still make mistakes 

but You have new mercies for me everyday 

Your love never fails 

You stay the same through the ages 

Your love never changes 

there may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning

and when the oceans rage i don't have to be afraid 

because i know that You love me 

Your love never fails 

the wind is strong and the water's deep 

but i'm not alone here in these open seas 

cause Your love never fails 

the chasm is far too wide 

i never thought i'd reach the other side 

but Your love never fails 

You make all things work together for my good
