Heart aching, I'm home from lifegroup. I really really want to be there tonight, whoever was planning on showing up. I miss those quiet, so very demure kiddos over there, and even worshipping to the cd!

A birthday eve of feeling oh-so-loved, from random and many sources, but the warm fuzzies were there none the less. Someone said I've never known anyone like you. Someone said I was their favorite person. Someone made me the most thoughtful mix tape, to which I'm alistenin right now. Birthday day was odd. Pirates appearing amidst the mist, latherin ( Read more... )
