He's more than the laughter, or the stars in the heavens. As close as a heartbeat or song on our lips.

me saca de quicio
DISTRAER - transitive verb, meaning "to divert" or "to distract"
This has been the story of my life lately. I've been married 25 days, just got back from the honeymoon, finishing up all of the legal aspects of changing my name, learning how to live with someone, etc... I feel like everything is a distraction. And it's driving me nuts.
Todo me saca de quicio.
My attention is being diverted at all times and I can hardly focus on getting one thing accomplished. Even when I do, I find myself constantly thinking of other things and not giving my full attention.
This has been awful for my relationship with God. I am hardly spending time in prayer and in the word, and what I do is far from quality. I've just been trying to tell myself that once things settle down, I'll be able to get back where I was... but what I am finding is that things will never settle down. I will never be back where I was. God has brought me to a new place, with new things and new challenges. And it's up to me to press onward, toward him, re-fixing my eyes on Jesus, and pray for God to change my heart and my motivation.
The Holy Spirit LIVES in me. Of course He's going to respond when I cry out for peace and connectedness during the chaos we call life.
En el caos, en tormentas sé que sigues siendo Dios... No hay nadie como tú.
I'm done being distracted. I'm ready to move forward.
