Stolen.

I have a new found love for the Norah Jones Pandora radio station. I love the soothing songs it plays, but I also love the way I can relate to nearly every songs lyrics.

This song in particular popped up tonight and I fell in love with it. Not only is it a beautiful song, it's words speak to me so clearly, and so honestly. I don't think I could have written anything more perfect to the way my recent emotions have been hitting me. Credit to touching my heart so sweetly and sadly tonight go to this wonderful singer and songwriter, Julie Moffitt. Please enjoy, and feel it just as I did. 

Anyone in a relationship, or fresh out of one, or that has ever experienced hearbreak or heartache with another person, you should relate to this.


Julie Moffitt- Stolen

I’m tossing in my sleep trying to shut him up

With fevered dreams
Its only been a week a half hearted fantasy
Wondering what he sees in me
In our separate space we are idols from a higher place
The beautiful ones that everyone wants
And I’d be happy to adore him from a distance
But knowing he adores me from a distance

Makes this hard
And its slow
Longing for just one more moment
Knowing that he has to go
And its false
And its weak
There’s nothing to be said now but in our silence we’re both aching to speak

This emotion frustrated confusion is it all an illusion
Will I wake up to a harsh and empty space
His devotion lies in someone else’s arms
And I am just an outsider
Trying to save face

And its hard
And its slow
Wanting to be all he wants
Knowing that’s not how it goes
And its false
And its weak
There’s nothing to be said now but in our silence we’re both aching to speak

And I’m stronger than this I’ve been through this before
But what’s one more lesson when the stolen moments are worth living for

And its hard
And its slow
Longing for one more moment
Knowing he has somewhere to go
And its false
And I’m so weak
There’s nothing to be said now
But in our silence we’re both aching to speak
</3


So that is that.
If I die today, I would want you to know&hear this.
xo, Jell.

Living in the world, while trying to follow by faith in the Word. Yep: the struggle is real.

In the midst of our chaotic, busy, go-go-go mentality type world that we live in these days, I wanted to take a minute of reflection of some deep rooted pain I’ve been experiencing , and the freedom and wisdom I’ve gained from enduring it . I wanted to take a moment to write about that, and share the growth, strength,  and fruitful blessings that are available  to all of us through the power of The Cross. It’s a fight I’ve been battling through, and I pray someone else may be able to relate while reading this page, and be inspired while leaving it.   Much of my life I have practiced the habit of ignoring God’s signs,  pushes, and plans for my life; of being completely and totally self-indulgent.  I’ve chosen my ways over His time and time and time again. Not because I have any desire to disobey Him; my heart is set on quite literally the opposite. But this world that we live in doesn’t encourage us to walk by faith… to follow “Emmanuel: God with us.” The world ...

Feelings Lately.

This songs words touch me so greatly. One can only guess who it reminds me of. </3 Remember, no matter how easy you think it will be, or how ready you are for it, goodbyes are never easy; never . I just have to keep thinking it's not goodbye, only see ya' later.  But goodness; it is so much easier said than done. So that is that. If I die today, I would want you to know&hear this. xo, Jell.

Wonderful Happiness.

Yesterday, I worked on monologues, read some plays, had time at the gym, and fasted. I fasted for a church wide pray and fast day and nearly died; literally. But kept my prayers going and ended up makin it through 24 successful hours without eating! I was very proud of myself :). Note to everyone: if you are fasting, do not go do an intense work out. Not a good idea. The entire Turner Center almost saw me pass out in the middle of the gym yesterday. Ha. It wasn't funny then, but it is now. :) I came home last night and was planning to have a quiet night in by myself and be a bit of a bum.  However, I decided to have a couple friends over for tea and talk :) Kelly and Christian came and chilled for a little while and then had to leave to go to Wal Mart. Though I was planning to stay in for the evening, they told me to come, so I did, got some groceries, and then they talked me into spending the night with them! We hung out, made nachos and brownie bites at 12:30 am when I was ab...
