“Did You wrap yourself inside the unexpected so we might know that Love would go that far?”

“Now there’s a joy inside I can’t containBut even perfect days can end in rainAnd though it’s pouring downI see You through the cloudsShining on my face.”

“Things aren't always what they seemYou're only seeing part of meThere's more than you could ever knowBehind the scenes.”

“I’m reminded today how unpredictable God can be.”

“Maybe that's what happens with age, I thought. All your life you force yourself to forget people who have hurt you, but as you get older and weaker their memory surfaces again, like a bubble in the water. You have to surrender, because you feel to tired to fight it and push it down again. And maybe, unexpectedly, you find out that instead, of revamping your anger, those memories produce an unexpected sweetness.”

“The wishes might not come true the way you think they will, not everything will be perfect, but love will come because it always does, because why else would it exist and it will make everything hurt a little less. You just have to believe in yourself.”

“i could see the veins through your skin like a map to inside you. how could skin be that thin? i was so afraid you might drop and break. i stopped breathing so you wouldn't.”
