Desperate to brush the lips of grace...

It's been a while since I posted.... A long while. I really have no excuse for this except that I've been busy with classes. Even that isn't a good reason, but it is a reason.

I've been going through a weird emotional time in my life, and I don't know what set it off, and I can't find the roots of it. At the heart of me, I feel this deep desire: "Desperate to brush the lips of grace..." and I wish I could remember what artist sang those lyrics giving me a way to explain my heart. I've been working to find out what exactly that means for me.

Last night at Praise we talked about prayer... and I realized that my prayer life right now has been suffering. It's strange, I don't even remember falling away from it.

So I'm going to start writing my prayers out again. This way is easier for me to focus on what I'm praying about instead of getting distracted by my list of anxieties. So this is good.

I'm also going to start a "Happy Box" I think. My friend Sara (who will be excited she made it into my blog again) has told me about hers. The idea behind this is to collect things that make you smile and to put them in a box so when you're feel down or sad you can look at the contents of your box and be happy. I'm pretty excited about this project.
