give me Jesus.

Week 27.

In the morning when I rise.
When I am alone.
When I come to die.

I tend to listen to songs on repeat.  A song that speaks to whatever season of the soul that I am in.  Lately?  Give me Jesus.  Sung by the sweet sweet voice of Joelle May.  What I am learning more and more, what I am trying so hard to remember in each moment, what I cling to in the dark-- there is no one but Jesus.  There is nothing more important than Jesus.  Nothing more life-giving, nothing more freeing, nothing more healing than to know and trust and seek Jesus Christ.

My constant prayer:  Lord, let all else fade away.  Let all else be swallowed up and dissolved by simply knowing you.  Simply being with you, Jesus.

There is a reason we were meant to live in light...  Because freedom comes when we are unable to hide.  Sometimes the light is bright-- too bright.  It hurts the eyes, hurts the heart.  But if I can stand in it, abide in the light just long enough, I will eventually see Jesus.

in between clouds.

[I did not take any photos this week, so I chose this old one that I took with my iPhone on a flight to South Carolina.  I love love love the light.  It is the header photo on my other blog.]
