there have been some rough patches these past few weeks.
always the same- no matter how far i am, and how far i have come, the things i want to change the most are not "fixable" by me. they never will be, they are beyond just my own control. and they hurt the most, mean the most, because it's family. oh, family...

but god is always great about giving me perspective just when i need it.
to open my eyes to see that i am so freeeaking beloved. so privileged. so blessed.
that NO MATTER WHAT, i will never be beyond his grace, his love, his hope.

i found tears of gratitude and joy :)
how great is our god?
