Grateful for a trip to portland, oregon with my twin and her dad. Grateful for seeing jesus in various places here. Seattle, washington tomorrow! Can't wait. :)

Perfection.

"Madeleine?"
"Yeah?"
"You are perfection!"

My heart about melted when I overheard a papa say this to his 3 year old curly haired daughter at the grocery store. :)

Study Bible.

it actually makes me want to read the Bible.

go figure.

Monday.

I am grateful to Jesus for a household.

Because today has been the first full day of missing my friends, my family, yet still making plans for travel (lots of travel).
Where I've wanted to run back to my room and cry, lay in the fetal position and cry some more. Yet, God provided me with a house full of people to walk alongside me, share meals, let me know they were able to pet a llama at the zoo today and ask me to go swimming later.

Hope.

Hope when I need it in the really small things to get me through the day, so thank you Jesus, for doing that. Providing for me a family that reminds me that life gets hard, but it goes on (and as it does, you provide joy and hope and steadfastness).

Church (somewhat) early tomorrow. 0930. I pray i'll be blessed as i begin the search for my church family in Fresno.

Sometimes all I can say is, "I love you." i don't know if it helps, but is at least a reminder.

love, love.

it's true.
realizing my heart is ready to invest in a romantic relationship.
realizing that i'm no longer terrified at the prospect and knowing that i'm ready for the work and blessing at entering into a relationship that possibly could last forever.

because my heart is now steadfast when it comes to the love of the Father, I've learned to trust those around me with the most vulnerable parts of my heart.

so jesus, would you make my heart patient and ready.
would you allow me to hear your Voice of guidance.
would you prepare Him for what will become us, and would you put people in his life to reach his God-given potential.
