uuuhoooooooo...... This song is TOO perfect today. Way. Too. Perfect. This was the first song that came on when I was finally able to sit down, put on my headphones, and unwind to some music. Today was hectic. Today was depressing. Today was HARD. And today is perfect in its significance. My God certainly knows what he's doing. It happens to be raining and grey in Chicago. ☁️🌧️☁️ It's the anniversary of the day that my beautiful mother passed from this life. 🌷 It is the first day of my GORGEOUS sister's new life, married for eternity to the man she loves. 💖💚💞 And it is the last day that I will have lived at the yellow brick building on Roscoe Street in Boystown Chicago. The lessons I have learned here have been overwhelming in their beauty. They've also been stunning in their atrocity and indignity. God really is putting me through the ringer, and I'm doing my darndest to learn from it. But gaaAAAaaahh. It's so HARD! Yet through every moment of every day and every one of these friggin trials, my INCREDIBLE God reminds me that I am loved, that HE loves **me!!** And that even when it feels like my world is going fall apart; like it's about to explode into three trillion pieces; or when I simply feel so incredibly, paralyzingly, overwhelmingly __alone.__ He cares that I'm cared for. He cares for my well-being. He always loves Me. And it is so often through so very many amazing people who are listening to the gentle guidance from their Kind Creator to uplift their friend/neighbor/brother/son. Thank you. ALL of you who have blessed My life with your goodness, your kindness, your prayers, your mistakes, your devotion, by sharing your life with Me. Sharing the gift from Your God with Me. Because so often I feel insignificant, unworthy, irresponsible, and reckless. And You have reminded me every time that We're so much better together. So much better with Our God, and in sharing His Love. Thank You for helping Me be Saved. Saved for True and Everlasting, love.
