his gift.

Sometimes I try to tell God that I know what He is doing. I tell Him that I've got it and not to worry because I too understand the events to come.
And yet again He proves me wrong.

I thought this summer was going to be filled with independence and letting go, when tonight the majority of my day was spent strengthening relationships.

My day seemed uncharacteristically devoted to realizing the blessing of the people God has placed in my life as well as realizing the strength and depth of their love for me. As I tell God that He will be stripping me of the relationships i deem too important He is telling me that their importance is His gift to me. That in many cases their importance is holy. He has surrounded me with those whom I love and love me back.
