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 ...

Appreciation April

First good news is that you've almost made it through the month of April, which means Summer is almost here! Second great news is that at the  beginning of May, most people's pools open! Woo hoo! Here's to sharing sunshine and tan lines! :) So this is another goal that's coming at y'all later in the month than planned but I've been on an incredible trip in Colorado and that's what gave me the idea to write. So this month and the goal for this last week leading up to May is Appreciation April! Throughout the course of this month, and focusing on reveling in the little moments and memories of day do day life, I've began practicing trying to appreciate and give thanks for the things I get to experience in life, be it something great or something difficult. The good things are easy to appreciate, though we often don't. Getting the sole opportunity to take off work at my leisure and take a trip to visit friends is something I am appreciative and tha...

Labels.

Labels; they are everywhere. Whether it is in a store, your pantry, or your Google calendar, much of our lives involve labels. Aside from showing the brand on your soup can or notifying you of a meeting on your phone, labels seem to overcome a great part of our existence when it comes to defining ourselves as human beings. They seem to be something that affect our energies, our days, and our happiness, and often in a negative manner. Sometimes they even affect our quality of life when they touch us deep enough. Labels can be just one word: Late. Annoying. Loud. Messy. Weak. Unintelligent. Depressed. Addict. Failure. Or they can be lengthy thoughts: Not good enough. Won’t be able to accomplish that. Always trying and failing. Never going to come back from that. Negative labels are given to us all the time. Maybe you have experienced this recently and it has de-railed a goal you had. Maybe you have experienced this and it made you feel less about yourself. Maybe someone professed a l...
