Sleepless in Seattle

Its about 11:45 and I can't sleep. Not from a lack of being tired, but from a clouded mind. My heart races with thoughts and frustrations and I need to get them out. I am listening to my brother's music in hopes it will calm my heart and allow me to reconnect with my Jesus. I have so many fears and hurts and scars that all I can do is hope that Jesus can fix them all in his perfect love. To any who reads this I offer you my most valuable contribution to the world: authenticity. I hurt and I am tired. I feel it at the depth of who I am. Jesus I know your yoke is easy and your burden is light so what am I carrying? I feel that my life is cunsumed. Where will it end? God heal what I am hurting from and take what I will not give. I want surrender.

You have lifted my head to see Your glorious face
In Your presence I am silenced by Your love
