Grace like rain

Here I am, sitting in my own bedroom at my best friend's new home, listening to Christian Contemporary on Pandora on my iPhone and typing this on my Macbook... crying my eyes out. 
I don't deserve any of this.

It gets worse. My best friend's family is the greatest. Taking me in at a stressful time and allowing me to live with them for my final year of high school. On top of that, I have the world's greatest family. Allowing me to move 28 hours from them was one of the toughest they've made on my behalf, but they did it for my future. 
I don't deserve any of this.

And to top it off, Taylor (the one with the super bass from the previous post) and myself will be meeting in 11 short days. Earlier today, my mom offered to drive me nearly 7 hours to meet with him only for one day while he's visiting a college in Alabama. 
I'm the most blessed girl in the world. 
I don't deserve this.
Any of this

I read today, "God does not do things because we deserve them. He does them because He loves us." This is so amazingly true. I'm a sinner. I'm a dirty, filthy, worthless sinner. God does not owe me anything, much less His son on the cross. Yet, he doesn't stop there. He gives me so much, that I don't deserve. Oh, Lord, thank you. That's all I can say. I've come to a point in my life where I've realized that thanking God for His mysterious ways is about the only thing I can do, because I'll never fully understand them.


My God is an awesome God. You should meet Him.
Thank You, Lord. All my prayers have been answered in abundance. Thank You so much.


Love & Creep,
Jess
