i have now read people.
i like blogging first, before i read everyone else, it lets me get my mind out unsullied.

i need to speak these things now.
i love all of you. your words, hearing about your lives; i cherish it deeply. im also deeply saddened that i cant hear this from your voice, see your face. i understand the time constraints and distance.

im thankful everyone is so eloquent! i can hear the closeness in the the words given.

i have desperately starved myself from aspects of yalls friendship by not having the internet available to me the past few months.

hearing about your different paths with the Lord is encouraging. where i can take note, or recognize the road, be joyful and sorrowful with you.
it has filled me and my joy is more complete- i understand that phrase of pauls! - it was paul right?
this morning we sang in sunday school- oh, how he loves us.
it makes me ask though.
how does he love us? i cant understand and comprehend it sometimes. i do think i like it. i do think its frustrating and hard. i do think its worth it.
ive had trouble with gratefulness this thanksgiving. i can truely say, hands down, im thankful for the body of friends that are my true family.
thankful that ive been reminded to be thankful for my immediate family, and thankful that he gives me people to love that sometimes cant[or wont] love me back. because then i run deeper with the great love
