and in despair, i bowed my head

a few short days ago
a simple snapchat sent
about being busy and tired and sad
over the people that have died just this month.

in the presence 
the unsettled feelings
the disorientation
of feeling helpless and 
really
truly
scared.

this year has been anything 
but
easy.

and I rarely rarely cry,
but standing in the pharmacy line
uncomfortable with the day 
the situation
the place
Loretta Lynn was singing 'white christmas'
over the radio.
a hopeful, sentimental and to me, a sad song.
and the people and their faces
their tiredness
and mine.
and what a heavy heavy heavy h e a r t.
and my eyes were suddenly brimming.

oh 
how I need Emmanuel.
this season
more than any. 

( r e j o i c e . . .  r e j o i c e )
for I know He is here
in it a l l 

let us REJOICE for He is here and He hears us and isn't that such a 
COMFORT
WOW.

hello you lovelies.
I have been very busy with music and work and music work and honestly I would have it any else. 
but please keep my family in your prayers.
and my heart.
and my mind.

what are some ways I can pray for you all in this Christmas season/new year?

I am learning that community/prayer/His word/deep breaths and smiles are so so essential.
lets all take a deep breath and open his word and pray and smile at others. 
 let Him give us hope and LIFE because without Him, we have none.
