B.I.B.L.E.

The Good Book, the BIBLE... something I need to read more and actually stick with it. Times seem pretty dark and lonely for me lately and I can't get over choices I made and still make, the past eats my desires and dreams like a hungering spirit seeks someone to haunt. Back to the book, I was listening to a song the other night by Burlap to Cashmere, a band not often heard of but are known for great lyrics and a beautiful voice from the lead singer. The song was called Basic Instructions. The first words were:
B
asic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
I've heard this song many times and never noticed the significance of those first words and the acronym they possessed until this last time I listened to the song played. How true is that though, really, the Bible is our instruction manual. Time for me to read more of it and have God lead my life because I definitely cannot do this alone, no matter how alone I truly feel. Seek comfort in the Lord. My life is an offering to him because he gave his son's life for me.

Have You Ever Wanted?

Have you ever wanted ... to be someone?
I am weary of this search for purpose. This endless spiral of hopeless direction.
