Ode To Adolescence

“We are crossing over. You are my baby. But I cannot carry you now. You walk alone into a new world. I want you to linger here, but you constantly push. You will change. You will grow. You will stumble. You will rise. I will be soft and firm. I will guide and step aside. I will lean and I will pull. I will be lost and I will be certain. I will reach for you, and if you do not reach back, know that my heart remembers your heartbeat. And I will always be holding you there.”

what messes up our life the most is…

“I know sometimes what messes our life up most — is the expectation of what our life is supposed to look like. Entitlement can leave you feeling entirely empty.”

Most people think it is about church without walls. It isn't. It's about love without boundaries.

This was a moving post…

“Yada reaches into the grace-filled depths of unconditional staying power and finds the strength to breathe life into love one more time.

Yada love is a faithful love.
A staying love.”
