God.

I felt called to write this entry just about our Father. Praises for, reflections on, and thoughts of. So, off we go...


I have to be honest in saying, the last few months have been rough.
De-collegeifying has been draining, and I took it out on You.
I've been numb, chosen to be so sometimes because it was lazier.
I've been distant. Again, because it was lazier.
I've been overwhelmed, and for the first time in a long time, not by You.
Not good.

I am ashamed.

I am so very sorry.

And through all of this, You continue to adore me.
Not just love, but REJOICE? over me?
For lack of a better word, You are amazing.
I'm trying to come up with a synonym, but all I taste is stuttering in my mouth.
You take my breath away, You are so good.
You love this Creation that we've destroyed.
You love us; the destroyers and Creatures.
You love me; numb and dumb, distant me. So overly analytical that I back myself into corners, fold my arms and cry; just waiting for Someone to move my perfectly capable feet.
You really are incredible.
I mean...truly.

I'm trying to think of praises to type out and all fall short of You! You are just too awesome for words! Sometimes, I wish I could speak in the language of the angels rejoicing in Heaven, just so I could come up with something worthy to say about You.

You are good.
You are kind.
You are patient.
You are love and loving.
You are peace.
You love justice.
You are wisdom.
You are power.
You are wind, movement; never stagnant.
You are still. You still what is restless.
You reconcile. You heal.
You break down to rebuild.
You give. Over and over again.
You are faithful.
You are faithful.


Father, You are amazing. And I love You. And I'm Yours, forever.
May this jumbled post reflect my jumbled, praising heart that is devoted to You.

He is good. Praise Him today.
