*crack*hatch*waaaa*

On this day that this dino has roamed the face of the earth for a quarter of a century, she’s got a couple of things bursting from within… so if you would feed her self indulgence, read on at your own risk!

so many times she’d picture herself at her last breath and wondered what life would look like then, and she realizes she has nothing she ever really owned nor had, save for her Maker, Potter and Shepherd. and nothing that really mattered at the end, save for the hope she has of waking up in eternal glory above. so for He who gave Himself to give her LIFE, she accords her biggest thanks… for the cross- the love, the sacrifice, the grace, the truth that it symbolize. THANK YOU.

she is their little princess and they’ve given her the best they knew how to… from life’s first breath they are His agents of life, provision, love and care… even more so His vessels to form Christ within her. even through storms and angry words, she knew they’d always be there… and it hurts to know that she has never loved them enough. so to her king and queen, thank YOU.

for who she is and all that she means to her, she is her star, her joy and pride. always at the receiving end of her whinest whine, darkest thought, deepest cry, maddest blow… she is overwhelmed that one would know her all her life and be there to love this ugly duckling still. She is to her His best gift to her ever. to her baby sister, thank YOU.

she continues to be amazed at those who want to be her friend. why they would choose to associate with her and set their affections on her puzzles her. why would they sense her absence or want her in their life is bewildering still. those who have come and gone, those who have stayed for a little longer while, those who will always have a special place in her heart and life no matter what, those who have grown so important, she is humbled and blessed by their presence. They are His amazing grace. Thank YOU.

dear Jesus, thank you for your faithfulness and goodness and i am just overwhelmed by how good You are to me. why you would love someone like me i'll never understand... and why would they love someone like me i'll never understand. please bless and keep the one who is reading this, and i pray Your best for them. i love them, i really do. help me love them more with my life each day...
