But you've got to know that I will be there

I had a hard day today. Just a day of emotions all coming crashing down on me, and me not knowing quite how to deal with all of them. But God has blessed me with my two roommates (Happy birthday Shay *hug*) who love me so unconditionally.

I read this on a friend's Tumblr and I felt the need to share it:

'so the other day i was going to church and as i walked threw the door everything seemed normal enough. the greeter at the door greeted me as usual, asked how i was doing and i said “good and yourself” the typical response. what struck me was his reply. i expected the typical “good thanks” but instead he replied with a “better than i deserve”. I’ll admit his reply though not what i expected didn’t really catch me off guard at first. it wasn’t until half way down the hall that i realized how truly profound his reply was (even if he meant to or not). “better than i deserve” he said, a statement that would ring true in my head for a long time to come. i realized that he was talking about how amazing it is to be loved by God. its is by His grace alone that we as christians can not only have salvation from an eternity of lets just say unpleasantness to say the least but that we can also live lives of true significance. Because of His grace we have life, we have purpose and we have a friend that will never leave us no matter the situation. ”better than i deserve” indeed, a statement that will remind me for a long time to come just how truly blessed i am. a statement that will brighten even my darkest of days.

live a life “better than you deserve” '

I didn't correct any of the spelling or grammar ... and for those of you that know me, it's bugging the crap out of me.

I got some great hugs today. I was reminded over and over again that I am loved, and looked after. I am content. I'm so so happy in my life. But that doesn't mean I don't have hard days. I think Life's just a little bit harder than I thought it was. But if I have God, and my family, and my friends, I think I'm okay with that.

My mommy called me exactly when I needed it today, before I even realized I needed it. She's a hero, she always seems to save the day, or fix me, at least a little bit.

I'm listening to You're My Little Girl by Go Fish. On repeat. It makes me cry, but they're such good good tears.
