sweetly broken




simplicity. that's the word I grasp firmly in my hand as I enter into this new year.
in action, in thought, in speech, in every aspect of life.
I resolve to live simply, staying off the path of intricate complications and neverending webs of toils and troubles. whereas I will not be able to completely avoid obstacles, I desire to distance myself intentionally from such circumstances.

two thousand and eleven. it seemed so far away, and yet here it is, telling me to hurry up and come to the realization that minutes and days have already begun to pass me by.
it is a year that is unpredictable, like all others have been, but seemingly more so. the vision's hazy and at times even completely dim. all I can sense is change after change, and as exciting as the prospect may be, it is also extremely frightening.

but God's grace helps me to trust, helps me to realize, to breathe easier.


ready or not, here we go.
