let that be enough

Sometimes (ok, usually), songs can say it so much better than I. Excuse the melancholy on such a joyous day. I'm just tired of some things and not sure how or if I can change them. Or, ironically, if I want to. Things are a muddle, and I need clarity. Which is also ironic, because I'm pretty sure I wrote the other day just how clear things seemed these days. Funny that. Welcome to my life. So. This is my song tonight. Happy Easter, dear ones. I hope it was a joyful and restful day for all of you.

'Let That Be Enough'
Switchfoot

I wish I had what I needed
To be on my own
'Cause I feel so defeated
And I'm feeling alone

And it all seems so helpless
And I have no plans
I'm a plane in the sunset
With nowhere to land

And all I see
It could never make me happy 
And all my sand castles
Spend their time collapsing

Let me know that You hear me
Let me know Your touch
Let me know that You love me
Let that be enough

It's my birthday tomorrow
No one here could now
I was born this Thursday
22 years ago

And I feel stuck
Watching history repeating
Yeah, who am I?
Just a kid who knows he's needy

Let me know that You hear me
Let me know Your touch
Let me know that You love me
And let that be enough

Blessed Ramblings

If the weather could stay like this until, say, June.. that'd be great. Seriously.

I feel like I'm coming out from a fog.. it's nice to feel alive and clear-headed again. I am blessed in so many ways, and I'm trying not to take any of it for granted.
Work-spring-break was this week. It's been a lovely week of quasi-productivity, rest, picnics, lunches, and lovely strolls around the neighborhood. Well, at least for the second half of the week. We won't mention the Great Flood of Tuesday. Not that I don't love the rain, because I do. I just love them more when I can sit inside and read and drink tea. 

Well, off to wrap up this week and cap it off with Easter. I hope you all have a blessed weekend!
