"Oh love I've always known you, and Oh love, you've always been mine. Oh love, I'm only asking you for your life." ~Nevertheless

What I'm thinking about: Colossians 3:23 and why I do everything I do. Also how I wish I didn't get so easily distracted when big things are changing in my life. It's easy for me at times like this to push God away and I feel like I have been doing that. I'm just meditating on the fact that my God loves me and that's all that matters. I thought it would encourage me to write out my own personal Psalm 139 based on the life of Amanda... :-)

He has always known me, He knows my innermost being. He knows when I will finally fall to sleep tonight and the time I will wake up. He knows what I will eat for breakfast and which two year olds are going to get on my nerves the most tomorrow. He knows what makes me smile and He understands me when I'm shy and I don't make sense even to myself. He understands what I feel and what I am going through. He understands my desire to be loved and He wishes I would just let Him love me and that I would love Him back with my whole heart. He wishes I wasn't so easily frightened by life and that I would Trust Him in everything. He holds me when I cry and when I'm scared. He knows that I have a freckle underneath my little toe on my left foot. He knows the days of my life and how many hairs are on my head. He knows I could listen to music forever and that His creation has a way of taking my breath away. He knows that sometimes all I need is a hug, and He always provides just the right person to give me one. He knows my hopes, that I am struggling to dream, and that I feel so tired lately. He knows I am compassionate and that I love hard and that I am sensitive. He loves me even when I'm scared to draw near because my finite mind cannot comprehend a love so great that would still love me even when I can be so distant and selfish. He knows that my favorite inventions are my geetar, a hammock, and ice cream. He loves me even though I am far from perfect. He knows the mistakes I will make, and He is proud when I do right. He loves me forever the same. He is my true father, the dad I have always longed for. I am His princess who makes Him smile- from the day I came out crying, my childhood, through the tough teenage years, and He will continue to be with whatever phases of life come next. He is the greatest love I could ever have. He knows me better than I could ever hope to know myself. He loves me. :-)
