today is my 14th birthday as a christian and a sober member of society.

i have done a lot of growing up over the last fourteen years.
i still have lots of growing up to do.
i get bummed sometimes at the slowness of the process in me.

i have periods of time and clarity when i snap out of it and realize that life is not a series of pleasurable events that is only interrupted by blissfully deep emotional connection w/ humankind.

life can be really hard.
but my life today is better than i ever would of imagined.

and the beauty? it has so very little to do w/ me.

here’s to many more years of saying yes to the Lord in more and more ways and areas of my life!

today's chewable vitamin:
"your persistent longing is your persistent voice.
but when love grows cold, the heart grows silent.
burning love is the outcry of the heart!
if you are filled with longing all the time,
you will keep crying out, and if your love perseveres,
your cry will be heard without fail."
