“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art…. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.” -C.S. Lewis

"Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety." -Proverbs 11:14

This week I've needed encouragement. & God has provided. I think we all have those moments where we feel like we're nothing. That we aren't worthy of love and you just feel... alone. It's so easy to fall into that trap. But this week God has opened my eyes to His love by having it exemplified through the people in my life. & I'm incredibly thankful for those who've reminded me that I am not alone:

Lindsey: For her words of encouragement when I cried at work. For all the "I love you"'s. And for inviting me to a Christmas dinner, reminding me that I miss church.

Gwen: For our conversations about mom and dad over dinner at Village Inn. She shared how much my parents have taught her about life and love. I'll never be able to express how rare and beautiful my parents are. How blessed I am to be their daughter and witness their love for one another, for their children and for others. Their kindness, and how thankful I am to be raised by a Southern woman and an honorable man.

Eddie: For his texts of encouragement, letting me know that he's been praying for me and he & Whit love me. I woke up wanting to attend church this morning. And I felt like his text was the little push I needed to get out of bed and GO.

I'm so thankful for each of them. ★
