two steps away

this was the first piece i ever saw on "so you think you can dance" and i wept the whole way through.  

the theme is a girl fighting fear
and it still gives me chills every time i watch it.

someday all the scribbled lines will be straight
and conversations will never bear your name.

{listen here}

the sea

there are not enough hearts<3<3<3 or words in this world
to describe how this song makes me feel<3


and maybe...just maybe...
i'll hear it play as i walk down the aisle.

one day.

seasons

if you like piano music, you will love this.
i promise.



oh and some of the scenery in the background makes me feel like maybe i'm in narnia<3
golden afternoon and morning glory?  be still my heart.

p.s. here is part two <3
{0:20-1:1o of that section is my favorite}

i needed this today...

and it made me feel very inspired.
and happy:)

She who reconciles the ill-matched threads of her life, and weaves them gratefully into a single cloth – it’s she who drives the loudmouths from the hall and clears it for a different celebration, where the one guest is You.
In the softness of evening, it’s You she receives.
You are the partner of her loneliness, the unspeaking center of her monologues.
With each disclosure You encompass more
and she stretches beyond what limits her,
to hold You." 
{-- Rainer Maria Rilke}

truth without love is merciless;
love without truth is meaningless.

satisfied in You


I want to live,
to live for Your pleasure.
        
I want to run,
to run for Your fame.
   
I want to dwell in Your house forever.

To seek Your face
As You call my name.
     
To hear You say,
"Well done."

{"satisfied in You" by Scott Cunningham}

my prayer.

"Heal my heart and make it clean.
Open up my eyes to the things unseen.
Show me how to love like you have loved me.

Break my heart for what breaks yours.
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause.
As I walk from earth into
Eternity."

you have never met a human being God does not love
and you never, ever will.

poison and wine

this song is still my favorite...
and i think it will stay that way for a long time.
beautiful and soft and heart-breaking in the best way.
