Thanksgiving.

I'm overwhelmed by my thoughts.
But one sticks out: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
God...I'm always in awe of you and how truly RADIANT you are.
Perfect.
Patient.
Love.
Glorious.
Wonderful.

GOD YOU ARE EVERYTHING.

I honestly cannot think of anything else right now.
Just your beauty.
And I thank you for not hiding it from me.
What a privilege.
I cannot think of anything in the world that I would rather have than just life with you and experiencing your NEVER ENDING, NEVER FAILING, EVER LASTING BEAUTY AND LOVE.

I can't get enough! I love you so much. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for saving my life and transforming me and for your blood. Thank you for moments like this. Thank you for listing to me. Thank you for holding my hand, wiping my tears...crying with me, celebrating with me, laughing with me, driving with me, walking with me, sitting with me, doing my homework with me....NEVER LEAVING MY SIDE. Thank you for our intimate friendship. Thank you for loving me and finding me beautiful...and seeing my beauty in it's truest form. Thank you, Lord...thank you. You are enough, you are beautiful. I couldn't ask for more or for better. I love you more than life.
Amen.

"How I long to be broken.
How I long to be near you.
How my heart skips beats when
your love accepts me as I am."

Walking With Us

I'm gonna try to keep this simple:
Jesus is with us. Every day, every second. Listening to us, speaking to us, holding our hand, standing behind us making sure to catch us when we fall.

"The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us." -Romans 8:36 (The Message)

I seriously cannot get over the fact that we have a God who will never EVER leave our side or give up on us...no matter how tough things get or how stubborn we are.
He is patient, loving, kind, understanding, forgiving, beautiful...everything!!!

This is just something that has become more real to me each day. Each day as I struggle in the world, I come upon joy and love as I live with God, because He humbles Himself to live within me and with me. I'm obsessed with this faith.

Just wanted to offer some encouragement to those who need it. Don't think for a second God doesn't love you or that He isn't with you, even in the darkest of times.

Peace
