I'm sitting outside on my MAC on the first day of October
and I'm amazed
and thankful
and blessed
and a bit chilly (I am wearing a skirt and t-shirt for some reason)
and it's beautiful.
It's all really, really beautiful.

That seems like the only word I can think of to describe my life right now. Not to say that in that beauty there isn't a bit of pain or questions or something. I miss the fact that I don't get ot see my best friend every day of the week like I did for a couple of years and I'm still a bit concerned about Caleb and what this road looks like for him. But I'm also VERY aware of the power and love of the God I serve and of the hope and peace that only Jesus gives.

I receieved one of the most encouraging letters of my life a couple of days ago and in it my friend made the comment about how it seems like I always seem to understand the love of Jesus and I got to thinking about why that could be so and I honestly think it's just that I can't help but see you. or her. or him. or that guy who no one is sitting with. or that girl who is broken. and NOT SEE AS IF IT WAS WRITTEN IN BRIGHT LETTERS: THIS IS MY CHILD, I LOVE THEM! because that is how Jesus works.....

HE IS SO CRAZY ABOUT US!!!!!
I plan on making a mental list then writing it on here soon about all the times in a day I come across or think or experience the love of Jesus.




MY CUP RUNS OVER.
