she calls me brave. . . | beautifully broken.

https://lesykes.wordpress.com/2011/10/31/she-calls-me-brave

Let the bones which You have broken rejoice. psalm 51.8. She calls me brave. . . October 31, 2011. I thought she must be crazy. Brave is the last thing i feel. Seem to be more fitting adjectives. tentative to step into this next season. feeling most comfortable protecting my newly healed heart behind concrete reinforced steel. Because experience has taught people aren’t trustworthy. and while trusting at times seems impossible i am doing it. Knowing i will never find community hidden behind my walls.

Let the bones which You have broken rejoice. psalm 51.8. Fumbling back into grace. . . February 22, 2011. I am taking ballet. and while i was a ballerina for many years it has been equally as many since i have danced. And those delicate, graceful steps don’t come as easily in my twenties as they did in my teens. to say i am rusty would be an understatement. But i am showing up. Every tuesday and thursday. . . Fumbling may way back into grace. I am fumbling my way back into grace with the Lord. Suddenly, ...

Let the bones which You have broken rejoice. psalm 51.8. Pain gift. . . October 10, 2011. The thought had never crossed my mind. More often than not, i don’t think of the before. The me before the pain. the lauren that existed so long ago seems to be a figment of my imagination. but as i sat across the table from a new friend i was reminded. . . The before lauren didn’t write. She didn’t allow her heart to be seen, much less let it flow into words for all to see. Ds are my pain gift. It was a beginning.

Let the bones which You have broken rejoice. psalm 51.8. Surprising gabe. . . October 24, 2011. We sat back to back. at work typing notes with a little words with friends in between. and in between the mundane of the day to day i mentioned i had a blog. 8216;what do you mean you have a blog? Sure that i had mentioned over the course of our friendship that i wrote. and as i explained what a blog was he laughed again. Wondering what words filled these pages. Assuming they would be witty. I now pray that th...

{five minute friday} if you met me. . . | beautifully broken.

https://lesykes.wordpress.com/2011/04/08/five-minute-friday-if-you-met-me

Let the bones which You have broken rejoice. psalm 51.8. Five minute friday} if you met me. . . April 8, 2011. If you met me, i would seem a whole lot more put together than i do on this screen. In real life, the facade is much easier and more comfortable than vulnerability. We would probably meet at starbucks because that is a favorite of most. but you’d quickly see much prefer a large diet coke to coffee any day. diet coke is one of my love languages {wink}. It’s too uncomfortable. So i hide once again.

If i ever wrote a memoir, i think i would title it. 8216;how the internet saved my life.’. Sifting through the beauty and broken in the pages of their stories. Those friends have inspired me to tell.
