These are the nights I grit my teeth

and hold my breath

and angrily pent the emotions that scream, 

“this isn’t right”. 

The world is oozing with injustice; saturated by people readily willing to drill knives into the backs of others to mask their own brokenness. 

And I’m left to listen to emotionally charged Mumford and Sons songs. 

Peace, please find me, for I feel like a fool. 

“Hurt people hurt people”. 

This song. 

Macklemore. 

“You cannot change what you will not name.”

A compelling interview about why future helpers, especially within the social justice realm, need to address their own pasts. We must be willing to do the work in our own lives that we’re asking of others. 

Simply fantastic. Visual evidence that what we need are the little things; friendship, laughter and love extended to us. 

- W.E.B. DuBois

I’m a mess,
I’m a mess,
I’m a mess right now.
Don’t fix me up, just lay me down.
You fill me up, to pour me out.
And oh, I am so undone.

Savior, like a shepherd led us.

[This is my prayer tonight]

Crack House Church by The Work of the People

“…suffering and laughing together. Thats what I want. Not some holy huddle where we all pretend everything is okay, but a real community who believes in the God of miracles but also in the God of trials.”

So impressed by this album; so connected to the purpose of it.
