I'm up too late, and it's been Black Friday for officially 3 hours.

Today I have things to be thankful for.

The heaviest weight that I get back to when I'm brought here

is the reason I am thankful.

I am redeemed.

Thank God that he frees us, that tomorrow is new, and that he is the same.
Praise him.




I am not the same as I once was and neither are you.
We are loved and pursued and accepted

can you feel it?

Thank him, thank him, and if you're not sure what for,

open your eyes.



And if you can't see it then then start praying because he hears your cry.






Ahh..


I see it more after time has passed. I am able to see, yes, I've come far.
I am also able to see that I've got so much farther to go.


I know this is a boring post because it lacks detail and, well, a story.


I have no story for you. There's no rising action or plot or climax.

There's simply a before and after.



I was lost and heartbroken and bruised,

God said he wasn't finished yet,
and loved my pieces back together.


Now I'm free


Not perfect,

Free.





Free to live with hope, and free to love him back.
Free to know truth and freedom to be confident in that.



It will be okay,


Thank God.




Oh, and,

thank God for the stuffing too because man it's good.
