Oh, blog.

So, I would tell you all about how I've contemplated making one of these little things for a while now, and how I'm still not completely sound on my decision- but I'd rather I didn't. I will say that I plainly just figured "why not?" I jot things down all the time for myself, and I actually just made a big step that I think provoked me to want to do this-I gave one of my journals away. Part of my soul, it felt like. This isn't that big, but it's still vulnerability, and for some odd reason I like that.

But on a separate note..  I just wanted to share this little thing that I read yesterday because somehow it had a profound effect on the entire twenty four hour period. But not just any "profound" effect; it was one of those "profound" effects that you wish engulfed every day that you live on this earth. One of those genuine and unexplainable GOOD days.

A little background: My boyfriend let me borrow this little, faded black book that is falling apart at the seams due to it's copyright date of 1916. It's a collection of daily prayers and is saturated in "thou's" and "thine's." I'm really into it right now and everyday I've been reading a prayer that some man said however many years ago. 

Yesterday, I accidentally read the one meant for the previous month..

January 19 

Luke 12.25-28

___________

"O God, Who knowest our necessities before we ask, and the manifold temptations we meet with day by day, help us to put our whole trust in Thee when despair and misgivings assail us. Suffer us not, we beseech Thee, to become prey of useless forebodings, nor to lose the things which belong to our peace, through the habit of morbid and sinful worry. So guide us, in all our way, that we may keep our faces towards the light, that our shadows may lie behind us. Of Thy great mercy enable us to perceive our blessings, that we may always serve Thee with a glad heart and a quiet mind, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." 

Why -when we find that niche of peace and fullness of being- can't we just stay there?
