So you want to get to know me?

So you want to get to know me?

Well the first thing you should know is that there is

Jekyll

And there is

Hyde.

A step inside myself reveals light and dark, good and evil.

There is fear, hope, anxiety, peace

I usually feel like the Hyde side is winning.

When people ask me how I’m doing I reply

reaked out

I   nsecure

eurotic

motional.

But then some days the sun breaks through the hardened cracks of my composure

The bitterness, jadedness, and cynicism get thrown to the wayside

Hope and peace appear

God wrenches my selfish self back to His perfect perfection

You may not agree with my beliefs

But they are the only thing that’s saved me from the

DARK

            DEPTHS

                        OF

                                    DESPAIR

You want to know the best part of it all?

These days are beginning to outnumber the other ones!

So, you want to get to know me?

God, number one

Family, number two

That’s me in a nutshell

Oh, you want the acorn tree?

Passion drives me, purposelessness destroys me

Passion for

Helping hurting humans

Physically through touch (I’m a licensed massage therapist)

Or

Emotionally through talk (I’m an aspiring counselor)

I am here on this big, wide, beautiful earth to help people

I am God’s hands (sometimes literally) and His feet to help His hurting

And very broken children.

You may scream

GOD DOESN’T CARE

GOD DOESN’T LISTEN TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE IN THIS WHOLE UNIVERSE

Yes He does

He listens through me, I am His headphones.

God loves the music of His children

God cries at all the sad scenes

God laughs at all the happy ones

God sent me here to

 HELP        THEM

 

S                              E

    M                 L                                  again.

              I
