"This is what the Lord says to you:

 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army.

 For the battle is not yours, but God's"

2 Chronicles 20:15

my heart cries out for you, Father. 

fight my battle. 

help me see you, hear you, and praise you through this mess.

thank you for capturing my heart. 

thank you for wrapping your love around me.

rich in love.

ya know that phrase "when it rains it pours"? well its as if it has been pouring in my life for a good 2 or 3 weeks now. the pile only seems to be getting higher and higher o problems. "why God?" has been the new phrase around my house recently. but instead of asking why, i'm trying to see the light at the end of this tunnel. "O Lord Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you!" (Psalm 84:12) this verse has brought me a peace through this crazy thunderstorm. i find a freedom in knowing that if i trust in my Father, i will be blessed. I am rich, Jesus. rich with your love and your grace. the grace that i do not deserve, but you give to me anyways. thank you for your gift. and i even thank you for the rain, because if it wasn't for the rain, i wouldn't appriciate the sun.
