storms and sunshine.

Isn't it amazing to know that God knows each of us SO intimately and knows what we need at exactly the right time?

We don't deserve this. We certainly can't earn this. He just GIVES His love to us. Crazy. Awesome.

Yesterday at church I was overwhelmed by God's love. From the moment I walked in to the moment I walked out I was in awe of God and how awesome He is. It wasn't necessarily the sermons or the praise. It was the people. Those certain people that just look in your eyes and just "get it."

One of my dearest friends asked me how God is working in my life. She stood there prepared to listen for 5 hours if thats what it would take. My other friend held my hand and whispered words of support at the exact moment when I needed it most. Another dear friend looked at me with tears dripping down his cheeks and told me to never forget how much he loved me. The biggest bear hug followed those sweet words. These friends are family. These friends are a gift from God. Unconditional love and support. This is something that is really priceless.

All of this love and support was overwhelming to me. I was sharing my feelings about this with another one of my close friends. Her response? "Just think, Kristi! God loves you 100 times MORE than this!!" Praise Jesus.

God is good, all the time.
In the storms and the sunshine.
God. Is. Good.

"Two are better than one, because they have a good retrun for their work; If one falls down, this friend can help him up!"

It's all about the little things in life.

Like yesterday, when I was aiding at Kings Kids Preschool..

Little Logan, a quite type, looks up from meticulously painting his picture and says..

"Miss Kristi..where is your coffee today?!"

Oh, how I laughed. He was totally shocked that I did not have my ever present coffee tumbler in hand that day. :) This is probably evidence of my addiction. Kids are just too cute.

You know, I can get so caught up in the big things in life..like college tuition and grades and all that junk. I can get caught up in how I'm going to handle a certain situation or what this person thinks of me or how I came across to that person..and so on. Useless worrying.

If I just focus on the little things, life seems so much more beautiful. Cruising in the car with the windows rolled down, great tunes ,and sunshine. awesome. Hearing your little sisters praying together. beautiful. Little "I love yous". A eruption of genuine laughter. Those insane moments when you stand in awe of how much God loves you. Focus on those things. They are what matter.

Home.

It's funny how sometimes the people you are around the most are the people that don't really know you. It's odd how sometimes "home" doesn't really mean "home". Do you ever feel like no one understands you? I do. Alot. The beautiful thing is that you have Somone who does know you inside and out. This person knows you better than anyone in the world will ever know you. After all, He created you. His name is Jesus. And He loves you. Ever wonder if someone will ever truly understand? Run to Jesus. You'll always be at Home with Him.
