"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning it's shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
-Hebrews 12:2

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!"
