YOU.

You are amazing. You encourage me. You lift me up. You help give me strength. You are the hands and feet, whether or not you want to be or intended on it.

You are my family. Those that have known me from birth and have stood by my side since that day. In everything, you have prayed for me, thought of me, sent me notes, provided financially for me, loved me, blessed me.

You are my friends. Some have been by me for what seems like forever, others have hopped on along the way. Some are old and some are new. You are all amazing. You are steadfast, faithful, supportive, loving, and I am beyond blessed to know you and call you "my friend."

Who needs gold and silver and dollars when I have a relationship with you. Needless to say, I've gone through a lot (or so I'm told), but it doesn't seem so. It doesn't seem like I have. It doesn't seem as bad as it looks when I read through my past journals and blog entries. And now, still, I'm not worried. I am completely at peace.

Because I have you. And you support me on every level.

AND I have YOU, MY GOD. Who without I can't imagine what life would be like. YOU give me hope everyday and nothing seems bad in light of it (hope, that is). No matter how bad it gets here on earth, how many rough patches I face, I Have YOU. And YOU love me unconditionally. And YOU are continually gracious towards me. And YOU have mercy on me. YOU are the most amazing of amazings.

I am forever thankful to God and blessed by Him to know Him, and have friends and family like You. God is using You in my life. Thank you God! And Thank you Family! And Thank you Friends!
