spell









where i find myself, and i hope where i am, is where God is.


Beholding Your beauty
Is all that I long for
To worship You Jesus
Is my sole desire
For this very heart
You have shaped for Your pleasure
Purposed to lift Your Name higher

Here in surrender
In pure adoration
I enter Your courts
With an offering of praise
I am Your servant
Come to bring You glory
As is fit for the work of Your hands

Now unto the Lamb
Who sits on the throne
Be glory and honour and praise
All of creation resounds with the song
Worship and praise Him
The Lord of lords

Spirit now living
And dwelling within me
Keep my eyes fixed
Ever on Jesus’ face
Let not the things of this world
Ever sway me
I’ll run ‘til I finish the race

Now unto the Lamb
Who sits on the throne
Be glory and honour and praise
All of creation resounds with the song
Worship and praise Him
The Lord of lords

Now unto the Lamb
Who sits on the throne
Be glory and honour and praise
All of eternity echoes the song
Worship and praise Him
The Lord of lords

Holy Lord
You are holy
Jesus Christ
Is the Lord

Now unto the Lamb
Who sits on the throne
Be glory and honour and praise
Call all the sinners and others come home
Worship and praise Him
The Lord of lords


"Don’t google your name. Ever.
Don’t “search” for yourself
on anything that glows in the dark.
Don’t let your beauty
be something anyone can turn off.
Don’t edit your ugly out of your bio.
Let your light come from the fire.
Let your pain be the spark,
but not the timber.
Remember, you didn’t come here
to write your heart out.
You came to write it in."
—  Andrea Gibson (via commovente)

what befell me when i saw a centipede in the shower for the second time

oh look! 4 DAYS TO LAND LAW

Derek Parfit. Love the style of his prose and can’t wait to read his book after exams.

I can see it in your eyes 
What I know in my heart is true 
That our love it has faded 
Like the summer run through 
So we’ll walk down the shoreline 
One last time together 
Feel the wind blow our wanderin’ hearts Like a feather 
But who knows what’s waiting 
In the wings of time 
Dry your eyes 
We gotta go where we can shine 

Don’t be hiding in sorrow 
Or clinging to the past 
With your beauty so precious 
And the season so fast 
No matter how cold the horizon appear 
Or how far the first night 
When I held you near 
You gotta rise from these ashes 
Like a bird of flame 
Step out of the shadow 
We’ve gotta go where we can shine 

For all that we struggle 
For all we pretend 
It don’t come down to nothing 
Except love in the end 
And ours is a road 
That is strewn with goodbyes 
But as it unfolds 
As it all unwinds 
Remember your soul is the one thing 
You just can’t compromise 
Take my hand 
We’re gonna go where we can shine 
We’re gonna go where we can shine 
We’re gonna go where we can shine 

(and look, and look) 
Through the windows of midnight 
Moonfoam and silver


amazingly, it’s 19 degrees out here today. everything that could go right, did.
on reflection, time did its beautiful trick again in letting wounds mature. closure happened and i have unspeakable gladness for it.
can i see God’s hand in all of this? yes.
am i surprised by his wonderful reign in my life? more and more each day.

Indelible by Brooke Fraser

from a mix tape i received a long time ago x


i am loved ♥

Walk along here, feel you move somewhere in front of me
I can’t place you with these eyes for the doubt I can’t see

How could someone so beautiful
Feel something for me
Hold me and love me and touch me again
And show me why I believe

That the first time I see your face
Everything else around me will fade to the background
And I’ll be struck full by the truth in your gaze
As you work an indelible change in me

All I have and all I am and all I think and do
Can find its purpose and meaning and life only in you

How could someone so beautiful
Feel anything for me
Won’t you hold me and love me and touch me again
And show me why I believe

That the first time I see your face
Everything else around me will fade to the background
And I’ll be struck full by the truth in your gaze
As you work an indelible change

For the first time I see your face
Everything else around me will fade to the background
And I’ll be struck full by the truth in your gaze
As you work an indelible change in me

An indelible change in me
An indelible change in me

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. (Psalm 100:4, NKJV.)
As believers, we have the honor and privilege to enter boldly into God’s presence. Scripture says that we can come to His throne of grace and receive His mercy. Because He loves us, He has given us unlimited access to Himself 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
But notice that today’s verse tells us that we shouldn’t just come any old way to God. We shouldn’t come empty-handed to the King of kings and the Lord of lords. What can we bring? What do we have that’s worthy of Almighty God? Our praise. Our thanksgiving. Our worship. We are to enter His gates with an offering from our hearts of adoration because He is worthy!
We have to understand, praise isn’t just about singing songs on Sunday mornings. Praise is the expression of gratefulness to Father God for Who He is and all that He has done. Praise gets God’s attention. Praise is a powerful tool in the life of the believer because God inhabits our praises! When we enter His presence the right way, He enters our circumstances, and when God shows up, the enemy must flee! Today, enter into His gates with thanksgiving and open the door for Him to move on your behalf!
A Prayer for Today
Father, I come to You today with thanksgiving in my heart. I enter into Your courts with praise. Today I declare that You are good, and Your mercy endures forever! Have Your way in me by the power of Your Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen.

thanks for turning my ;( to to :’)
