i can't believe you're here, close to me,
it's getting hard to breathe, but i don't want to leave.
i can't escape your love for me,
so you take control.
your Spirit surrounds me,
close enough to catch me when i fall.
life isn't a fairy tale. something i'm learning lately.
"Mystical experiences of God are real, but fragmentary...I have learned not to strive to reproduce them, rather to put myself in a place where they can visit me, "grace" me." -Philip Yancey, Reaching for the Invisible God
that's why i'm going to be happy when i wake up to my iPod every day. i'm going to enjoy my first cup of coffee with a good book, and eat my smart start cereal with joy. i'll be thankful every time i am with my friends because they are one of the best things that has ever happened to me. i'm going to leave the past behind me, whatever ghosts i think are chasing me, and focus on what my life is taking the shape of. i will laugh at anything, and i will rejoice in new music.

can i join you?
hey sister. i just had the overwhelming desire to encourage you of something that the lord really impressed on my heart as of late. and it is that... your past is GONE. and i mean... those ghosts--god has forgotten about them. they have changed you, they have shaped you... but they have no control anymore. they aren't a part of you. god has erased them.
this truth hit me the other day. i confessed my jealousy of a friend to her, and she looked at me with love and said, with a genuine laugh, "autumn... god has already forgotten." it changed my life.
i love you beautiful.
