Thankful Mornings

...so I've found, oddly enough, that I really do enjoy getting up early...

So I suppose the reason for this post is really just to say how amazed I am with the things God is doing and showing me! I don't feel at all deserving of what he has given and so I smile and say "thank you" once again to the One who is my All.

And I am so very thankful for Anson. We've been dating now for over a week but the news to me will never get old...!

"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,
gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive
whatever grievances you may have against one another.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these
virtues put on love, which binds them all together in
perfect unity.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members
of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let
the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and
admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing
psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your
hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or
deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks
to God the Father through him."
Colossians 3:12-17

In love with Christ

I really should be getting some sleep. but I needed to write just a little about my evening. I got home from a Chris Tomlin concert & Louie Giglio spoke. Isn't God incredible!?!! what amazing things he has done for me... he's so huge I can't describe it and yet he cares so deeply for me and knows my exact thoughts.
part of me wants to step outside right now and look at His huge and vast night sky above me but I'm soo sleepy! I'll take the time tomorrow night when I'm more awake. :)

...Free?

So I've officially quit Picture Me. My last day of work is Friday. I feel... free? Relived for sure. I hope Friday at work goes well. I kept mulling over weather not to quit or not for so long I almost needed to quit to stop thinking about it.

This weekend Anson is coming up. I'm glad I will get to spend some time with him.

... wow I should have started writing this much earlier. More tomorrow perhaps. :)

"Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you."
Psalm 139:7-12
