Blessed.

God is good.  All the time.  And - all the time.  God is good.

I'm lucky.  I can put my sadness aside.  I can walk away from it for a while.  I can even forget about it for an entire day.  And - when this happens I'm reminded of how blessed I truly am.  I have amazing people in my life and even though I feel like I'm losing people that I love and don't want to let go... I'm still surrounded by people that love me unconditionally and that's so amazing.

I went to dinner with a friend tonight.  We haven't known each other for very long but she's become one of my favorite people.  I find it easy to open up to her.  I know I can talk to her about the hard stuff and she gives me advice from a completely neutral point of view... and it's biblical.  I.  Love.  That.  She's wise beyond her years and still a child at heart too.  (We have the child at heart thing in common.)   We laughed a lot tonight.  Talked a lot.  It was just so refreshing.  I just needed tonight so much.  My heart and soul needed that girl time.  To chat.  To laugh.  To cry a little.  To just be.  I am so thankful.  And - not just for her.  For all my female friends.  Who knew a girl that preferred to hang out with guys would be surrounded by amazing women that I now call friends.  I didn't think that would be my story.  I actually didn't want that to be my story.  But - I'm so thankful that it is.  So - despite my sadness from time to time... I'm joyful.  I'm grateful.  I'm thankful.  I count myself blessed.

My God is good.  All the time.  And - all the time.  God is good.
