The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. -J. R. R. Tolkien

I feel hollow inside… Psalm 31 · Jun 30, 08:18 AM

Have you ever felt like this?

...I’m in deep, deep trouble again.
I’ve cried my eyes out;

Psalm 18 - surprised by love · Jun 3, 07:24 AM

1-2 I love you, GOD— you make me strong.
GOD is bedrock under my feet,

Psalm 17 -The winding road · Jun 1, 10:38 AM

4-5 I’m not trying to get my way

your Word’s way.

I’m staying on your trail;
I’m putting one foot
In front of the other.
I’m not giving up.

Without you, nothing makes sense
