Thank You

One thing I know: nothing can be healed without God.

I do hurt. I don’t know where to start in mending such a broken relationship. I am so scared... of trusting someone who hurt me. But, I do want to.

Tonight, I realized that it hurt[s] God as well.

I don’t necessarily know where to begin, but I know that it needs to begin with God. At least for me... I can’t do this without Him; and without Him, I will fail.

God- thank you so much for the friends you have put in my life. I don’t know how to express my gratitude for them. My cup... is overflowing with gratitude.

Thank you for Tinsea, for showing me what a true friend is. For her constant friendship and love for me. For her never ever giving up on me.

Thank you for Emily, again, she has shown me what a true friend is. Thank you for making her exactly the way she is, for her constant encouragement and wisdom.

Thank you for Amy, for her heart and again for her friendship, thank you for her wisdom and her desire to serve You in all she does.

Thank you for the friends I made at Nyack, Dear Lord, I was so blessed during that time in my life, and I am so sorry for taking them for granted, they are amazing, each and every one of them, and I pray that you feed their thirst and desire to honor You.
