Every Time I Call Your Name – Jared Anderson

Every burden that I bear
Every worry that I wear
You are always there for me
When the mountain seems so high
And the road I cannot travel
You are always there for me
So why should I be afraid
Every time I call your name
You come
It’s like a rushing wind pulling me in
Pulling me closer everyday
I’m loving you more
I’m reaching toward [...]

You have ravished my heart.

 I think it is so important to remember the details of our relationship. Derek always says that when someone someday writes a book about him he would like it to be an accurate account. I agree. With so many broken relationships in the world it is easy to forget what a good one should look [...]

Six beautiful years of change and growth and pain-staking challenges. I am getting tired of feeling unsettled and in between. I am restless because I am ready to move [...]

Tis the season. Falling. Un-falling…

Tis the season for everyone and their mother to be getting engaged, married, pregnant or dumped. I guess that covers the whole spectrum. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy for you, or sad with you! It is just this age–this twenty-something age where everything happens so fast. My goodness.
