Thankful for the blessing-protection,grace. Jesus is real in every way. I proclaim Him.
Hes might to save. Hes comfort-Hes protection. - Hes Bigger. Hes better. His images are beautiful.
random people that He puts together always works. I love that about HIM. meeting new people is refreshing. He protects my heart. my emotions. Hes gentle. He uses HIs children. He gives rest. He gives strength. He gives joy. He is rest. He is strength. He is JOY.

Mexico was on my mind all week as well. oh to be in 2 places at the same time.
Father, I love YOUR creation.
