I'm feeling really homesick today. I miss my friends and fam...their hugs, laughter, being "known". But the LORD taught me a valuable lesson over the summer at JH Ranch that I am quick to remember these days: Jesus loves me...and His friendship is enough. When I feel the pangs of loneliness and the lack of rich community, I remember that Jesus is my Friend (not to be confused with the ridiculous song by Sonseed, thank you very much!) ;) But truly...He satisfies my soul and comforts my core. He loves me, He loves me, He loves me. He is enough. There are still tears...but my heart is held by a compassionate and loving Father...and Friend.
What a friend I've found
Closer than a brother
I have felt your touch
More intimate than lovers
Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, friend forever
What a hope I've found
More faithful than a mother
It would break my heart
To ever lose each other

Ok, so I've been kind of obsessed with hymn's lately because they're so amazing and full of truth! You little blog made me think of this one. I love you and miss you!!!
1.What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
2.Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
3.Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.
