alive.

I . . . am very alive. And blessed. Just came home from a long walk with Anna. And a little boy (Jacob) just went home to Jesus tonight. 

Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder at the mention of Your Name. Jesus, Your Name is power, breath, and living water. Such a marvelous mystery.

[Revelation Song; Kari Jobe]

Anna and I just got home from our night-time walk. 1 ½ times around our whole neighborhood street.

We were coming a couple houses away from ours, and Rachel came down the sidewalk towards us. “Jacob died.”

Anna: “Oh, my God. Oh my God. Oh, my God!”

I knew it.

I had a feeling, when we were singing with my acoustic guitar at the nursing home earlier. Revelation Song.

I had a feeling he was going to go soon. Very soon.

It was a quiet feeling. Not a prophetic or strong feeling, just a subtle one. 

It was a thought, that just emerged.

Why, I don’t know. But listening to Kari Jobe, and thinking a little about it . . . 

It makes me want to cry. 

I didn’t get too attached, I don’t think, but his mom was so sweet and Anna and I loved talking with her.

Hmm. Talk about melancholy.

We knew he was going soon. He's been battling cancer for a few years now, only 9 years old.

This is the little boy (son of a friend-of-a-friend of ours) that I was quiet and solemn about.

This is the little boy we visited and I had a changed perspective. Cherished life more.

These posts were written after I saw him.

i will not be swayed.

life, quotes, and suffering.
