i'm not the type...

i'm not the type to keep my thoughts in... here all the time.

not in my mind,

not in my journal,

not in my mouth,

...and not always in my heart.

sometimes, i probably need to keep things in my heart and keep them to myself for a while. sometimes i need to ponder and treasure more in my heart... but that is when i'm dealing with slightly different kinds of thoughts--seeds the Lord is planting.

in times when i'm holding my thoughts out for the world to see, i am facing others; i am saying, "this is what God is doing, and for some reason, i want you to know about it." the reason might be pretty theological, but for now, i am content to say that sometimes, i simply hold some thoughts in my hand--vulnerable, honest, connecting thoughts--some of which may help you know me better, and for all i know, make a difference in the way we face God.

You will most likely never see this because I don't think that blogger informs you of comments you receive and this one is waaaay before I knew you!

BUT.

Jenna Barney, you encourage me so much...God is using your heart and kind spirit in so many ways to grow me further in His love and helping me to make a strong foundation. I just wanted to say that the vulnerable thoughts in your hand make me strive to more forward and work through and persevere.

You're a blessing to me, Jenna Barney. Jesus loves you so much...

and so do I. :)

PS- "cytichr" is my word.
