oh the conflict between growth and comfort — this Crusade of mine.

I know where the grievances go.

We must Protect the Renewal that was produced

            In the rain

            In the storm

            And in the sprouted sapling.

“and on days when the past lingers, urging me to regress, i remind myself to press on. partnering with Jesus, i take each step forward, amidst the noise, towards a future unchartered but guided by faith.”
