Dearest Savannah,
ReplyDeleteWhat is strikingly clear from this wonderful post you wrote is that you are a young woman fully engaged with life. You experience every sense that God has given you, and revel in them. You are not coasting through life. You are living it! Think how pleased God must be that He gave you sight and you notice and rejoice in the things you see; how He must smile over the fact that with the 24 hours He gives you each day, you fill it to the brim with intentionally feeling, seeing, hearing, and thinking, with as much passion as you possibly can. Your mama and daddy are blessed to have you for a daughter. I am blessed that you are my niece. And I think God is so happy you are His child. :)
