Are you sure what you wish is what you want?

Into the Woods is an amazing musical, and even more amazing when watched with friends. I highly recommend it, especially since Olivet is performing it in March, though I wonder how on earth they'll ever pull it off with all the complex scene changes that are involved.

Some thoughts to take away:

"The slotted spoon doesn't hold much soup."

"Please, I need your shoe to have a child!"

"When I first appear, I seem mysterious, but when explained, I'm nothing serious.

"You're so nice. You're not good, you're not bad, you're just nice. I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right. I'm the Witch. You're the world."

"We dissapoint. We leave a mess. We die, but we don't. They dissapoint in turn, I guess. Forgive though they won't."

"Agony, beyond power of speech, when the one thing you want is the one thing that's out of your reach."

"Dwarves are very upsetting."

"I was raised to be charming, not sincere."

Ok. I'm done. And quite content. Yay for musicals and friends. God is good. Now time for sleep.

Never Alone

"I waited for you today, but you didn't show. I needed you today, so where did you go? You told me to call, said you'd be there, and though I haven't seen you are you still there?

I cried out with no reply and I can't feel you by my side so I'll hold tight to what I know: You're here and I'm never alone."

~Never Alone - Barlow Girls~

It has been a long and tiring day, and I am exhausted. I have spent every minute jumping at shadows, desperately needing to relax and completely unable to even begin. Every second I have been haunted by the thought that I've done something horribly wrong. The fear lodged itself in my stomach with a sickening finality and had no intention of letting go.

Thank God for the love He shows us in the darkest of times. Thank God for friends. I still have people I need to talk to for my own peace of mind, but I was granted comfort that I desperately needed.

My wrongdoing is not less, but His grace is more than enough. And no matter what I face, I know I will never be alone.
