Classy Living

I am Francis. I am a Sufjan Stevens enthusiast and I spend too much time reading. I am a disciple of Christ. I desire to be a prophetic voice. I long to equip the saints and be used for the unity of the Bride. And at the end of the day, all I am is His.

There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing. (They hang there, the stars, like notes on a page of music, free-form verse, silent mysteries swirling in the blue like jazz.) And as I lay there, it occurred to me that God is up there somewhere. Of course, I had always known He was, but this time I felt it, I realized it, the way a person realizes they are hungry or thirsty. The knowledge of God seeped out of my brain and into my heart. I imagined Him looking down on this earth, half angry because His beloved mankind had cheated on Him, had committed adultery, and yet hopelessly in love with her, drunk with love for her.
