Love has come and will be with you.

Yesterday was an excellent day.
This week has been an excellent week.
And I use exellent in the truest sense of its form here.
I have some really incredible friends.
Really. freaking. incredible.
And somehow, in some way, I've been really honest with others.
And Laura Bowers told me this,
"Would you rather be stiff, endowed with an impenatrable guardianship over your heart, never letting anyone in, or have your heart explode because you've let them all in, let them see your soul, and probably have it smashed into a zillion pieces only to have God restore and hold your heart again and again."
Or something like that. But mostly. It's part of my New Year Resolution. Letting people in. It is what we're called to do. And they will smash your heart. And God will love you back into being again.

Thank you Jesus for people who are bigger than me.
