I shed quite a few tears last night. Harsh realities make for hard days, or nights. But mostly what I am finding in the midst of it is a more intimate relationship with Holy Spirit. Something I've desired for a good 10 years now. I never knew that I could love God so much.

It has been a year of overwhelming pain and heartache, but also a year of beautiful grace. Grace sufficient. Isn't that what He promises?

It's scary to think about where I might be right now if I didn't know God. If He didn't keep me and sustain me, who knows what (or who) I might've turned to?

He is my life, my breath, my grace, my strength, my nourishment. It is truly in Him that I move and breathe and have my being.

"And this is life eternal; that we may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who Thou hast sent."

Your transparency is such a great reflection of Him. I know it's tough right now and thinking of you during this transition.
