Benefit for Lovely

Tired. Sick. Need sleep, but can't sleep. Sarah's benefit went well. Some of it was a little stressful, but it was only stressful because I made it so. Janelle was there. I was glad to see her, and she liked the puppet song, so that made me feel good. Amy was there too. My friend of a friend. Caitlin wants to make me look pretty for Christmas Eve. Okay, man. Whatever you want.

I think my favorite performance of the night was Carlee and Sarah at the end. April came over to me when it started and put her arm around me and whispered something in my ear. I won't share, because it's a Me-and-April moment, but I will share that April and I feel the same way about Sarah leaving. I realized that tonight.

This week hasn't been the best, but tonight made it better. Made me forget about the bad things of the week for a few hours, which was nice. I love my church family. I love knowing I have 10 moms. I love having friends who feel more like sisters. I love that when tables turn for the worse that the whole church pulls together and takes control; some even come from North Carolina on a Saturday to teach childrens church on Sunday.

PG, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. You will get through this. And know that your church family is here to help you in any way that you need.

Well, Lovely. Tonight was a success in my eyes. You are blessed. You are loved. And you will do great things for God's Kingdom. I'm honored to know someone who has such a high calling.

I learn to love my Jesus more and more each day. I'm still not at a place where I'm ready for Him to put me down and let me walk along side Him again, but I know He won't let me down until He knows I can stand on my own. I am so greatful to have a God that loves me like He does.
