A Favorite Song

Great is Thy faithfulness,
O God my Father.
There is no shadow of turning with Thee,
Thou changest not, thy compassions they fail not.
As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be

The Long Adieux

Let despair take wing.
Let love give way
To sorrow.
I do not stir.
I do not gaze on them.
They flee away,
They do not notice me.
Yet I am as true as my love and my despair.

What will come?

I am curious what I will write if I just start typing. I'm not really a good writer, and I need something to inspire me most generally. I love to write, that's the problem. And I love to talk. So why can't I write?
One of these days I will be a great philosophizer... maybe... and I will write at great length about the joys of life, the wonderful things God does for me, the wonderful people He puts in my life, and everything good about everything around me.
For instance, my friends and family.
A lot has happened in this last week, and the upshot of it is that I'm going to go to beauty school either in January, or in the Spring.
Well, that is not all of it, that is just the big goal that I am reaching for at this moment. I bless and thank the Lord for this. It has taken a long time, and a lot of fighting, prayer, pain, and heartache to reach this point. I am most thankful for the support of my friends, and my mother and brother. I could not have done it without them.
Lord bless them!
Another thing. My friends.
I don't know how to describe how much I feel the blessing God has bestowed on me through my friends, both far and near. I have so many. Some I have parted ways with, but most I still hold ever so dear in my heart, and I thank the Lord for them.
Truth be told, my friends have gotten me through most everything my life has presented that needed to be gotten through.
It was they who never let go, who kept on encouraging me to run the race, to never lose hope, to never give up. It was they who at last helped me figure out who I am, where I belong, and what I'm doing here.
God bless my friends.
