+ just a few things.

i love when He makes all things new.

especially in our eyes.

tonight = amazing. time spent with Him is my most favorite.

we are known by him. "you have searched me and know me."

psalm 139, heck yeah.

+ today was a good day, as well. almost passed out at work, though.

+ fine arts meeting no. 2. went well. laughed a lot.

i am more and more, each day, thankful for the mccoy family. sometimes, it's not even for a specific reason. just because they are people i feel like not many people have the privilege of calling family. not THEM specifically. people like them.

how did the Lord know i would need/ love people like them in my life... ? He knows all.

in the same way that sometimes, i can tangibly feel His love, i feel such a thankfulness tonight.

he has preserved me. kept me in his perfect peace, even in the midst of trial.

surrounded me by people that i absolutely love. pastor heath said something to me yesterday that i am still thinking of.

"you two would lay your lives down for each other."

i believe i still would to this day.

in the midst of everything, the truth remains: apart from Him, i have nothing good. anything remotely good in me, which sometimes hides itself for quite some time... is solely due because of Him. my ability to love is because i have accepted and received His. i am trying to keep that in my head at all times.

i am thankful. i don't know what is next, but i am thankful. in a very honest way.
