The Face of the Silver Lining

This entry may not make a bunch of sense to a lot of people, but it will make sense to a few. You know who you are, but names are not important. This entry is more for those individuals and me.

Life can take you on some pretty rough roads. Recent events have got me thinking where and just how I ended up where I am today. There have been a lot of thoughts running through my head. Where do I go? What do I do? When do I decide? How fast should I go? Just a consistent flow of thought after thought.

I have learned so much this last year. There is this entire other side to me that has developed and grown into maturity. I love it and I feel it's beautiful. There is such an appreciation for the things I thought were silly and boring growing up. A simple walk through some beaten path in the country which many of us call our back yard. Sitting and simply listening to the sounds of peacefulness. Those wheat grass fields blow softly in the breeze inside my head.

There are a few who I have learned are my grounding rocks, my most precious friends for ever and ever. Your endless phone conversations have left a lasting impression on my soul. You are such a good friend and it is by Gods grace that we both ended up in Washington to go through life together. You will find your happily ever after someday and he will be wonderful. I can't wait to be your friend through the rest of life's journey.

The family that has always been there for me. Like Christ himself, time and time again you lift me up. You don't hesitate to share that love that pours from you heart. Others search their whole lives to find a dedication such as yours. I can't wait to live closer to you so we can share in the simple pleasures more often. I miss you. I'm coming home someday.

And then there's you. You who has sparked something inside of me. The faith in the good in this world. The belief that there is a blessing in everything. The beauty that is the awkwardness. You have come out of nowhere and now are everywhere. You leave me without words.

People go through live no knowing how incredible those people are who come into their lives. I have been touched by your life and your spirit and I am forever changed. Thank you for just being you.
