I Don't Want To Hold Empty

I'm feeling crummy and grumpy. I haven't gotten the best sleep lately and I've wasted my time. Purposelessness, these past days, in my soul.

Wandering around, in this life.
This happens to me, during school breaks.
I get bad habits, and feel the distance, the lack of work, and become a lazy, fogged mess. And I always feel disgusting inside. I stop clinging to God, I think. It's like I don't need to because there's nothing to do anyways. That's what I tell myself at least.

This emptiness.

So this is what life tastes like without Him. 

I need a dose of it sometimes.

A small, jarring splash of cold water on my face to remind me:
life is worthless without my King.

This seeking of myself ends in no joy.
I'm not made for this.
I'm a stranger in this world,

made for love alone.



The point of life is love.

But Misty Edwards speaks much better than I write about this all.
So I'm pointing you in that direction, now.

-If you are willing, would you watch this?

Play that. If you have the time. I know it's very long. But it helped me at least. Spoke deep into my heart. I don't think I'll ever forget that message.




May your days ahead be filled with purpose, friends,
minds saturated in truth always,
with the goal of love in mind,
and a heart following the lover of your soul to the end.
I pray that for you.
