G is for God and Gratitude.

After about a week of sulking in my pool of misery and self-pity, I'm starting to slowly feel like myself again. Probably the two most encouraging things that were said to me helped me get through this past week.. It really hit home to me that 1) I have people who truly love and care for me, and 2) Jesus is better than anything. To those who keep pushing me to seek and love God more each and everyday, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

At this point I have so much gratitude for Paul- for not just being the friend that I wanted but just what I needed. For being the shoulder to cry on, being more than just a listener and giving me advice, and taking the lead in our relationship to walk more faithfully in Christ. I think I'm past the stage in life where a having a significant other is all about having fun. It excites me, scares me, and even depresses me sometimes that our daily conversations now revolve around monster.com, credit cards, salaries in the Midwest, and grad schools.... As soon as I said goodbye to my undergraduate years, the real world came swooping in without a minute to waste. But to have this kind of support along the way has been way more than I ever asked from God. Only through my darkest times do I come out realizing how blessed I am to know that Jesus and Co. have my back.
