These Days

Suddenly, the nights smell like hope 
The sunshine melts the quiet melancholy from my bones 
Almost as if in an apology for its absence
It isn’t quite spring 
But my heart can sense the change in the air 
Kind thoughts come easier 
Smiles stay longer
These days make life seem brighter,
Days are given more possibility 
Moments seem clearer, memories seem sharper
What a thing sunshine can be. 
What a long winter it was, 
The sunshine is worth the wait though

The title is Vapour , and yes I know that it is techn...

So, right here, in front of anyone who reads this, I’m going share a few of the things I’ve been convicted about while reflecting on the new year: 20 minutes-it’s not just 20 minutes (or 10 or 5 or 1), it’s time that I can be doing something productive instead of doomscrolling or sitting in front of the TV. My prayer life has got to become more well rounded, it feels like sometimes I do put God in the “I only pray when I need something from you” box and I want a real relationship with Him. Being intentional with the things I do: cultivating hobbies, growing relationships, furthering my career, being a better housemate.  Working on some of my bad qualiti...
