I couldn't be more thankful...

Yesterday was a rough one for me but I had some amazing people who helped me get through it. It seems as though some of the most amazing people walk into my life when I needed them most. I had multiple encounters with people like these yesterday, but these are a few that spoke to my heart and I am so thankful.

Encounter 1: A new friend made me realise how proactive I could be in a stiuation where I felt completely helpless. She simply said: its perfectly okay to want to be there for them and take away their hurt but there is something you can do... you can lift your worries for them up in prayer. It was something so simple yet profound. In my worry and concern for them, I had completely forgot about the power of prayer. She brought me back to being proactive when all I wanted to do was focus on the negativity of the situation. I thank you so much for always having the perfect words that speak to my heart.

Encounter 2: We were both having really bad days yesterday, but somehow there was a comfort in knowing that someone understood and had many of the same feelings. She was able to make me laugh when I didn't think it was possible. She listened and allowed me to vent, that was exactly what I needed at the moment. She is always there and I know I can count on her to always listen and make me laugh. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for me.

Encounter 3: This one takes me back to Friday... he called just to talk and vent and ended up making me laugh hysterically about talking tapioca balls and a lost cell phone that he was actually talking to me on at the time he lost it. He was so instrumental in getting me through the weekend although he probably doesn't even know it. His calls, texts, and messages allowed me to vent and then look on the brighter side. Last night we were talking about some things and feelings that were going through my head and he simply said "just know that you can always count on me". Those nine little words meant so much to me at a moment where I had just been hurt by something else. He has been so patient with me and my emotional craziness. I thank you for always being there even when I push you away. Thank you for being the strong and caring person you are.

I love yall so so so much!
