It feels like my eyes are permanently dilated.
Do you remember a time when 5:00pm didn't automatically make you think about rush hour?

yesterday kinda felt like the first time I talked to a Christian since school ended. that's not the truest statement I could make because my family's Christian and I've been going to church and stuff.
but it's been a while since I got to listen to a prayer request without being expected to be coming from a place of righteousness or knowledge because we both knew (it's more like I was reminded) that the ultimate assurance and comfort comes from somewhere else. and it's been a while since I've heard "man, it's tough but I'm gonna keep fighting against sin (like my life depended on it)" and hear hope cry out of something like that. it's also been a really long time since I haven't heard someone try to prove something about God's character to me in some "you agree with this statement 100% right?" way and heard someone just praise the Lord for the way He's at work all the time and in every place.
friend - thanks for sharing with me, but mostly, thanks for believing in the power of prayer. it was the very gentle lead I needed to bring me to a place where I reminded myself, rightfully so, how impoverished and empty my soul has been feeling this whole time. I missed this a lot and I came to learn the hard and painful way that there's no substitute for a joyful heart other than what the Lord has in store for me.

thrice is a really good group.
it didn't occur to me til now that there should be little that's as satisfying as eating good food surrounded by good company. I've never thought of that before.
