God's Love

So, tax day is Monday and Matthew learned a valuable lesson. He doesn't really understand anything about how taxes work. He owes much more than he can pay. He is in lots of trouble. Frustrated, he ashamedly turns to his parents for help. Expecting to be humiliated by asking for help and to burden his parents, he begrudgingly called his parents... And once again he was surprised by their wisdom and understanding.

God has a way of doing that. I've always appreciated my parents and had good relationships with them, but, as I get older, I continue to be surprised by their love for me. I am still a child, and they are my parents. How much God must love me to have put me in their lives. How frightening that He loves me more than they do.

So, things are a little crazy now. Plans are being made, friends are panicking, deadlines are approaching, sleep is departing, and relationships are moving. There's so much to do in so little time. I think I need to talk to Dumbledore about getting a time turner...

Today was a strange day. Good, but strange. School is crazy. Assignments are due left and right. I have a test I'm going to fail tomorrow. But, in the midst of it all, great things have been happening. I shed tears today for the first time in eight years. The last time I cried was because of pain. This time? Emotions. As far as I can recall, this is the first time I have ever cried for that reason. A lot of it is because I am a male, but more of it has to do with being an internal-izer. I don't feel like processing much more right now so I'll leave it at that.

Hurray for good talks with a great friend and an even greater God.  :)
