Oh how He loves me

If you know me you know I have a special place in my heart (ok its my whole heart) for how the Lord loves me. I am unworthy of it but none the less LOVE how He sees me. I wish I could see myself through His eyes. I am adored by Him and that is such an all encompassing truth. That fact that the Lord looks at me and turns and gushes to those around Him about my beauty, humor, talent, heart, and just my actual being... nothing competes. I love laughing with Him and I'm back into the swing of actually just sitting with Him and feeling loved. Oh so long overdue. To sit and enjoy each other without an agenda, without a production, just me and Him hanging out... and allowing Him to see me, really see me, the unedited version it is easy when I know that His response is an overwhelming gush of love and adoration.

"You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes." Song of Solomon 4:9

Oh how these sweet tender whisperings go on and on....

Girls Group!

Some of the dearest people in my life are a part of GG. Girls Group... HOLLA!!!!! It started when they were freshman in high school and we got together to watch Gilmore Girls. Then the GG changed to girls group because our love for the show grew into a love for each other and for the Lord. We walked together through all four years of their high school and continue to live life together when though they have scattered from the mountains to the beach. These girls hold such a big part of my heart as well as my life. The thing that I love about them the most is that casual conversation isn't apart of our lives. Sure we know the ins and outs of their lives but we don't stay on weather for very long, ok not longer than the phrase it is sunny here. Our time is spent talking about our biggest dreams, deepest longings, and how we are the delight of the Lord. We go from hi to the deepest pit with each other in .5 seconds. That being said we also go from the darkest night to the brightest hope that Christ offers in .4 seconds. It is truly a joy to watch these girls grow up. Sure I want to be married and have kids but if you look and see what the Lord has already entrusted to me... it is far more than I could have imagined. It is neat to watch the Lord reveal himself to them and redeem them through His unfailing love.

I am so thankful to have them in my life.

Read these words slowly

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write
over and over again
I'm awake and in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and
over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope

Sing to me of the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have
for me over again

I give You my apathy
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

I like people!

You are probably saying something like this in your head right now "NO REALLY?" or "I'm shocked by this statement Adrienne has made in the title". Whatever you are thinking know that the "I like people" statement is very much true. The Lord designed me at the core to LOVE being around people. If I don't see people for longer than 16 hours (sleeping) then something is wrong. I worked my first open and close tonight at the store... a 12 hour day. I was actually dreading it if I'm honest. I couldn't leave the store all day because I was the only manager on duty. Thankfully my co-worker ran my food errands, haha. However at the exact perfect timing I had a HUGE day changer. Well no really the day changer started this morning when I left my house... 6:45am. I had breakfast planned at Capital so I had to go get the food and be there by 7:10. I had such a prayerful spirit for people in my life!! YAY! Then I had a great time at Capital. Good conversation with the girls and with the director of the daycare. Then onto work. Where I got to see one of the girls from Capital, who missed school today. BONUS POINTS! Then I got to work with a great girl and we laughed a lot... DOUBLE BONUS POINTS. Then Becca and Kaitlin made puppy chow and brought it in for us since I had to be there open to close and I got to hang with them for a bit..... TRIPLE BONUS. Then two GW girls walked by the store saw me and came in and chatted.... QUADRUPLE POINTS. Then we played a great prank on my manager before we left.... she won't discover it tomorrow but it is great. Lets just say it involves a mouse in the back....

The Lord is so good and seriously knows the way to my heart and has provided the people around me to really see Him much more clearly. Gotta love that
