-John 1:5

I have wanted, for so long now, to be able to write something of substance here. I have wanted to make something tangible out of what has been my experience with God for the past few weeks. I’ve wanted to say simple truths in elegant ways, and leave my dear readers with nuggets of wisdom and truth to apply to their own lives.

I just can’t. Tonight, there were only tears.

God broke me down tonight, starting with a particular worship song that was played at a college group I visited with some friends, and finishing with a blog written by a friend/leader who is now in Thailand working with NightLight Jewelry.

I wish I had something to write, but I just don’t.

There is so much pain and darkness in this world it can be altogether overwhelming at times. But God is the star in my cloudy sky, the One who shines through all the heartbreak and longing and injustice. He alone can save the day. He alone is all we will ever need and more.

You are everything I long for

You are everything I need

And I can’t help but give my life

You are everything I long for

Jesus, I am so in love with You

When the sky is dark and cloudy

When the world is crashing ’round me

You’ll be there to light my way

You’ll be there to lift my face

You are everything I long for
