Jesus and Friends!

Two very important things in my life are sweet Jesus and my loving friends. I like to think I have the best of both worlds when it comes time to those two things. A love that exceeds all if you ask me! Today in church we talked about living a surface level life. How most people have a hard time digging down deep and opening up. We talked about how it's perfectly normal to feel like a sinner, sad,emotionally drained and just all around worn out. It is in those moments that we need to pour our hearts out to The King of all kings, Jesus. We need to praise and thank him and just reassure him that we trust everything he does. Alas he is the only person with the best judgement.

Our pastor also touched on the topic of being a constant in someones life, and being able to find that constant in your own life. Someone who you can pour your heart out to, and know that they really care about what you are talking about. That one person who you are able to depend on in times of goodness and sorrow. After talking about that "constant" in everyone's life I had to take a second to really think about who I felt fit the mold. I pondered this thought for a long time, before realizing that almost everyone of my friends is a constant in my life. I can call on any one them at anytime and I know they would all be there. But the one thing that really really stood out to me was my role in being a "constant" in someones life. I like to think of myself as a pretty loyal friend, sister, and daughter. I could never turn my back on someone in fear that one day they will really need me, and I won't be there to be their constant. I want to be able to spread light on this lonely and broken world that we all come home. I want people to know they can trust and depend on me in sickness and in health. That even in the darkest of days, when you feel like there is nothing left to give, that there truly is light at the end of the tunnel. But it might take more than just being surface level. It might take some digging into places that you never wanted to go back to. And when you reach those spots you need to give it all to The Lord. Let him know you are trusting him, and using him as your constant every second of every day.

Y'all we are all blessed in so many ways. Even though some days are so tough and we just want to give up, we always end up waking up the next day feeling a little bit more refreshed. We owe it all to the man above that never lets us down. We also owe it to our friends and family who help us succeed in this not so perfect world. They love us unconditionally!

So with that I leave you with a picture of myself and two of my "constants" , enjoying life on this glorious Sunday!
