Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want
Than to take what You give that I need
And I've beat my head against so many walls
Now I'm falling down I'm falling on my knees

And this Salvation Army band is playing this hymn
And Your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin

I'm singing hold me Jesus 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

-Rich Mullins

and at this point i suppose it would be best to keep all these thoughts and feelings in my head. ive done it before and i can do it again. some things just shouldnt be said, or wouldnt help if they were said. they just make it harder. and apparently the therapeutic benefit of this venue for communication may be too public and shouldnt be used. so, i guess for now all the thoughts and feelings and inner turmoil will stay there, inside. only to spill out on paper or through prayer or possibly, but hopefully not, in a moment of frustration or passion. so until further notice, this blog is no longer a location for venting and purging.

emotional isolationism yet again.

there was a good reason i lived this way in the past, maybe it would be better to go back to that. maybe that will help.

whateva, im out.
