2009.

Already 2009.
Geez. Time really flies.
As millions of others out there probably proclaimed as their new years resolution, I think I too may start blogging again this year...even if it's for me to look at years from now...

Went to listen to Tim Keller today at Redeemer and he spoke about marriage. I have SO many thoughts and reflections but since I have way too much to do tonight (working on my portfolio), I will briefly share my afterthoughts and how it affects me at the moment...I will sum up his sermon another day.

Today's thought: God is love.

He consistently shows me He loves me and not just me but those I love and every single human being on this earth. Everything I have gone through is more than worth it because I know that I have grown from it and I am that much closer to being the person He so longed and continues to long for me to be.

Lord, my prayer is this. May I be able to see you more, know you more, love you much more and truly make you my first love. May you seamlessly heal me and may I fall in love with you all over again, but this time, in a truer and sacrificially whole-hearted way.

And to a special person who was the biggest part of my life for 5 years, who butted heads with me in numerous ways, who broke my heart to pieces at countless times, who consumes my mind more often than any other person ever has, it is because of this relationship God had planned between you and I, that I am who I am today...

You have hurt me more than I could ever imagine, yes, but you have sharpened me immensely. And you have helped me to build character. I have learned new depths of compassion, love, and truth through knowing you, fighting with you, loving you. Just as iron sharpens iron (as said in proverbs), you, my friend, have truly sharpened me.

So thank you for being you. And thank you Lord for...well for everything. You are simply amazing. I love you.
