sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.
You made it, you own it

When my needs go unmet,
I’m reminded: God didn’t design a person, place, or title to fulfill me.
He designed my soul to need Jesus.
So if you’re discouraged today by unmet needs,
Maybe you’re not being punished—maybe you’re being invited.
Invited to need the only One who never fails.
If that’s you—
You need to meet my Jesus.

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared . . . “ Timothy 4:1–2
Welcome to the later times. To those folks feeding the Deceivers, a word of caution: when you deal with a devil, you trade the only thing you’ll ever have that’s worth a damn for lies and all you really get in return is burned.
