So the past few days haven't been exactly wonderful. They've been filled with frustration, pain, and just plain mistakes. But there were definitely some good times, and I want to concentrate on those:
* I've been listening to Jars of Clay's new album all week. It's been way too long since they came out with an all-new album. =)
* God blessed me during Early Morning Prayer last Tuesday. It was a great way to start my day.
* I finally got my support letters out for Catalyst. It's great to have that done.
* I got to hang out with and talk to Hannah Wilson quite a bit. That always makes for a good week.
* God helped me to get through a really hard day yesterday with a lot more joy than I expected. I did stumble, but I was surprised at how I was able to direct my heart to praising God when I was most frustrated.
And, finally, probably the highlight of my week: So I finally get back to my room yesterday evening, after having a tough day. I get there and there's a brand new journal sitting on my desk, with the cover being a beautiful picture that Jason took of cherry blossoms. The inside cover had a passage from Isaiah printed on it. Jason had left it for me at my dorm as a gift for our 6-month anniversary (no, we're not the kind of couple to celebrate every month anniversary... in fact the last time he gave me something for an "anniversary" was a single white rose on our 1-week). On the first two pages of the journal he had written a letter to me.
Yes, I don't deserve a guy like Jason- but that's because I can't deserve him. He (and this relationship) has been a gift of God's grace to me, something I can't earn. And, on days when I feel like giving up and lashing out at everyone, I'm blessed with moments like this. :)
