Tender Mercy Thursday/kind of an extension of tribute Tuesday
On my mission we would always notice all of these “tender mercy’s” in our life no matter how difficult things got it was very apparent that God was still aware of us and sent these little things our way to help us through.
Well yesterday there were MANY things that were tender mercy’s.
I was at the airport flying standby to South Carolina I was
#18 and there were only 17 seats. When I checked in I somehow became 17th and made the first flight to JFK. In JFK there was only 5 seats left and I was 14. I knew I was going to have to wait until the next flight and I was getting all ready to be relaxed when they called me up and I was able to go on. No shows? I know it was a tender mercy all because I got here in South Carolina and get to be here with Emily.
Tender mercy #3 I was able to sleep pretty good on the airplane which is usually very difficult for me. (Especially since I had a good nap that day) –new found friend of Dramamine.
Yes I had this mask on to help!
I just absolutely love Emily (have I said that before?) She is the BEST! I love just hanging out. Her family is so kind and generous and makes it even more enjoyable. I was able to get another nap in, watch a movie, eat really good food, ect.
But the best part of it all was right before bed. They have this guest bedroom that is so quaint and cute. 2 single beds set up that reminded me of college. For a lot of the long talk I kept feeling like all my worries weren’t there and I was back at college getting close to a wonderful friend. Even though we stayed up way too late it was well worth it. We decided we should try to sleep at 2 a.m. because there really
was the cutest little kid waking up in all too short of a time. I laid there in bed feeling a happy high. I just love Emily and our discussion was exactly what I needed. I felt so happy, grateful, loved and felt like for a time I got back a part of what I missed out on back in college because of my depressive state.
I kept thinking throughout my long talk with Emily about my blog post about her. I felt every word! I am so comfortable with her, I love her openness and welcome talks. I love her smile, comforting words, happiness and oh so much more I don’t know how to put into words.
The happy high kept me up thinking about how amazing Emily is. This led me to realize how blinded we are to our own self worth, our own power, our own personal strength. I felt like I only can see a glimpse of how majestic Emily is—and know God see’s the entire thing. I love seeing the superlative part in people. It makes me happy, it inspires me, I feel it gives me a glimpse of the vision through God’s eyes.
I love people, I love the power within ourselves because we are children of GOD. We don’t even know the powers we hold. Most of all I love simple days like yesterday that became the biggest tender mercy. I have only been here one day too! Love being here.
With all my love to God, all of you, my life, and EMILY.
