to the one i long for

To the one I long for,

hi my love.

today is long, a pen weaves between my fingers as I sigh.

It has been more than a long day.

It has been a long, long life. she is afraid no one will stay, and I am afraid I will have no one to stay for.

I hope for you.

you are not a promise

to me.

I am not promised your strong arms, heart that hurts when mine hurts,

striving selfless love.

these are confusing days, and I shove my face into my palms,

as if I’ll find your name

written into the wrinkles that tell fortune tellers miracles.

I will wait for you, if He wills me to have you.

so be strong and brave in these weary days. weary months. weary years.

may He be with you in your aches, as well as mine.

(and give you wisdom.)

so be it.

love overflowing - i

stolen from addy. ur totes right. 

- things I've been loving recently - 

murmurs from the morning.

twinkle eyes from the past, eyes set on the horizon.

a kind and graceful God.

hands that don't let go, but grip yours tighter.

feet tangled in blankets, sleepy laughs.

reading Psalms aloud like battle cries.

winter rain sprinkles (never have i known this).

my sister's garlic knots. delish.

movie nights with my daddio. 

teaching the little girl how to hold things bravely. let those callouses grow, babe.

WOW OKAY. promise not to disappear so long without notice again haha. 

what have you been loving lately, babes?

make me a list. it'll be good for you to sit still for a minute and reflect. if not, hate mail is always an option. ahohooho.
