Good morning Lord. I know it’s been a while. Not a while since I prayed, but a while since I wrote out my prayers to you. And you know why that is… because my memory lasts about 8 seconds and I lost the password and the login info for this tumblr. Sometimes I’m frustrated with the way you made me, Lord. Often that frustration centers around this faulty, space-cadet memory you’ve given me. But I realized something this week, Lord, when I was questioning your wisdom in this area. Why would you make it so hard for me to remember people’s names and faces? Why don’t I retain the things I learn for more than six months at a time? And I realized that there’s a flip side to this particular quirk of my makeup. Because I don’t remember people’s names until I’ve met them 8 time but I also don’t remember how they’ve wrong me. I’m quick to forgive and, quite literally, forget the everyday little hurts we all perpetrate against one another than can build over time into things that damage relationships. I don’t carry them with me Lord, and that’s a blessing from you. And probably worth a couple calls to friends when I left my car keys somewhere.

Thank you Lord for this day. I loved the unexpected sunshine this morning when the forecast called for rain and clouds all weekend. And even thought I feel like I’ve gotten off to a rough start (it’s almost noon on Saturday and I haven’t gotten any of my weekend writing done), I’m so grateful for the joyful things you’ve planned to take up my time this weekend Lord… time with my church family, time with my family at home, time with my puppy, and time with you Lord. Not a bad way to go. Even if all these relationships get in the way of the writing. Maybe that’s the way it should be. 

I love you Lord. Kate

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

Yeah, we had some good times, but at the end of the day, what have I got? Nothing but memories. I’m twenty-six and I constantly live in the past. I’ve been without her longer than I was with her and I still can’t get over her. Ignorance, compared to this, would be bliss.

I know how numbing the pain of hating yourself is. You know, it makes you just want to push everybody away, especially the people who care about you the most. But you can’t, not if you plan on ever being happy.

The real struggle is about you. You, a person who has to learn to live in the real world, to inhabit her own skin, to know her own heart, to stop waiting for her life to begin.
