A Positive Note to Self

Hello lemon drops,
That's what you're being called today, just FYI. I felt the need to share with you this note. A positive note to self, because my little lemon drops, today has been running me down with insecurity.
I have been looking in the mirror today and thinking: "Well maybe if i got a better acne cream, I'd look better without make up on" or "if i lost a little weight around the tummy, I'd feel prettier" and whether these things are true or not, no amount of dieting, weight loss, skin cream, makeup, or facial work should ever be what is controlling my image of my self. So here I write to you my Positive Note to Self.

A  Positive Note to Self...

Dear Self,
It's me...erm...you...? Us....I...??
You know what I mean. 
This is your inner voice.
There is something I've been meaning to say to you,
But don't worry, It isn't bad this time.
I realize that the past notes I've written to you have been pretty bad.
"Note to Self: Lose weight" 
or "Note to Self: stop looking in the mirror and maybe you'd hate yourself less" 
or even "Note to Self: Stop being a total failure at life".
All these past notes to you that are so filled with negativity,
I can see that you are drowning in cruel words from me.
So today I am here to spread positivity, rather than negativity.

So Note to Self:
LOVE WHO YOU ARE.
You know something? 
You believe in God, I know it's true.
I can feel it in your heart.
Well then you should know this to be true,
My dear sweet reflection,
That God is hopelessly, helplessly, head over heels in LOVE with you!
So why aren't you?
You are hand-crafted by the maker of the universe.
You have been formed and created by the star breathing God of all.
The maker of all things who DOES NOT make mistakes
Has chosen to make YOU.
He loves you so dearly, so sweetly, and so truly.
So if he sees all your flaws, past, and mistakes, but still chooses to love you, 
Why shouldn't you?

Note to Self:
CHOOSE JOY.
Have you been talking to Depression and Anxiety lately?
Because I can see you've lost your sparkle. 
That glimmer in your eye has been dulled
By the cruel words you have surrounded yourself with.
The negativity that is often spoken through me,
Your very own inner voice.
I am here now to tell you that anything Depression and Anxiety have to say
Are nothing but lies.
Anxiety is trying to keep you in a box, 
And Depression is trying to keep you down while you're in that box.
Together, they will be the dynamic duo of your undoing.
Don't give them more power than they really need.
I plead with you to choose to smile at work, even when you don't wanna be there.
I ask that you lift your head in times of trouble to look up and see the sun.
I BEG that you please find it in your strength to reach up to your Heavenly Father, 
Especially when you feel He's furthest away,
Because let me reassure you,
He is never far away.
He is always within reach.
So please choose Joy.
It is with good intent that I request this of you.

And finally,
Note to Self:
HOLD ON.
I know you're tired.
I know you're exhausted.
I know you are mentally, spiritually, physically-- in every sense of the word WORN
You are WORN.
But please let me encourage you to keep going.
Get out of bed tomorrow when you feel like sleeping more.
Go into work when you feel you can't make it in because of your emotions telling you lies.
Do things that make you happy for improved mental health even if you don't have interest.
Eat good food. 
Work out a bit.
Go see the sunshine. 
Compliment yourself.
Keep smiling.
Just please keep holding on to anything that makes you glad.
You have friends and family and co workers that do not , in fact, hate you.
But much rather, they love you, they want you, they need you.
You're not finished yet, 
So let God complete His work in your life.
He's got you, my friend.

Oh yeah and I guess I lied, one more thing...
Self? Look in the mirror. 
You see me?...erm...you? 
Go ahead and repeat this:
I want to be your friend.

To your Mind:
I want to be your friend.
To your Soul:
I want to be your friend.
To your Body:
I want to be your friend.
To your Heart: 
I want to be your friend.
To YOU:
I WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND.
Okay?

I know you've been waiting for this, 
So go on, Self. 
Live.
Don't just exist.
Clean up your messes.
Be considerate.
Show compassion.
Love others.
Be your own best friend, okay? 
And remember WHO and WHOSE you are.

You are a daughter of the King.
You are a creation of the Maker who makes everything but mistakes.
You are a masterpiece, my dear sweet Self.

I believe in you.
~Love,
Yourself

I hope and pray that this has managed to speak into someone's life today, and let me know if there's anything I can pray about for any one of you little lemon drops. Be Blessed.

Fulfilment and Value-- Don't Lose Sight of Your Worth

Hey darlings,

I hope you're all having a wonderful Sunday and a good time with your dads on Father's day today! I'm writing you to today, however, because there's something important for me to say. It's about fulfillment, value, and not settling for less than you deserve. Where did this all come from, you might ask? Well, I've never really been a part of the party scene, I don't really drink alcohol much, and I'm not a fan of big crowds of people, so I never really go out to parties or clubs or anything like that, but this week was different. There was celebrating to be done as my hometown hockey team won the Calder Cup, so partying to celebrate was the natural plan for everyone. I decided to go out with people and party as well, I never had more than two drinks the whole week, but this whole week was party after party after party, and I woke up this morning to tell you some things. 

First, I hate parties. I really hate them. The party scene is not for me. Like at all. Mostly because of the way the alcohol got to my head and I let poor treatment of myself slide when I normally wouldn't. There were guys I met that talked to me and acted towards me in ways I normally would have never allowed, but I was looking for my fulfillment and happiness and everything important in all the wrong things this week. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing bad with celebrating and having a fun night out with friends, I just shouldn't have been looking for my worth and satisfaction outside of myself and my faith in God, which leads to point two...

Second point is this: Don't look for your worth and satisfaction outside of yourself and faith in God. My friends I have learned this lesson countless times, but I just relearned it when I woke up feeling sad and unsettled this morning. NOTHING can satisfy my heart and soul like Jesus can. He is the one true thing that will ever fill me up and fulfill the needs of my heart. I will not boast in my accomplishments, or my city's accomplishments, or my favorite team's accomplishments even. I will not boast in my abilities, or reputation, or talents, or what have you. My friends please hear me out, because I live to make my boast in CHRIST ALONE. And I wasn't representing it that well this week. But that's between me and God. So I'm here to tell you this so you can learn from my mistakes. I'm not saying never party. I'm not saying don't go out and drink. I'm not saying these things are wrong, bad, or evil, but friends please don't let people, and parties, and alcohol be the fulfillment. Please don't let them be the center of your being and what keeps you feeling whole because they will always let you down.

I woke up this morning feeling empty. I had a week of parties and I woke up feeling like I searched for my fullness and in the wrong place. I wasn't being true to myself, representing my God, or giving myself the treatment I deserved, rather I was letting myself be devalued by others while I searched for a temporary high.

And now here's the last thing I wanted to say for you. You. Are. Loved. Please know this. Always. Never sell yourself short of who God says you are just because you got caught up in the world like I did. Because what God says about you is the truth and He reigns supreme. He calls you loved, chosen, valued, priceless, beautiful, and so much more than I could ever begin to describe. I tell you this all not to condemn anybody who lives every week the way I lived this week, because condemning is not my job. My job is to love and because I love you all I want to look out for you and make sure that when you go out and celebrate and have your fun weekends, that you don't let that be where you find your truth, joy, and satisfaction. And along the way, don't let yourself become devalued, because my dear friends, you are all so loved and so valued beyond your wildest imaginations. Don't lose sight of your worth. 

Thank you for taking the time to read what's on my mind today, and I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day. 

Oh and shout out to my Step-dad Mark, my dad, and my Father for being the best three guys who are always looking out for me.

Be blessed.

Love, Abby Lynn

Above My Brokenness-- Getting On My Feet

Hello friends, 
It sure has been a while, hasn't it? I apologize for my lack of posting here, it's just that I tend to get down in my days and caught up in routines, and I often don't know what to say to you. If you would like an update on what is going on in my life, you've come to the right place, so here it is...

I just got done with my first year at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. Though I have learned a lot this past school year, I have managed to fall flat on my face in terms of my grades. This next semester, therefore, is very crucial to my success in school. I tell you that, to tell you this: I need to get my act together. And I think that there are others out there who may have felt or feel the same way every now and again. Where you get so wrapped up in your problems, that they just take control of your life and you drown in them, letting everything else around you fall apart. At least that's what seems to have happened to me.

This year at GCU, I had the time of my life outside of classes. I met wonderful people who are dear friends to me now, I had adventures in faith with my new friends, and I learned a lot of lessons that weren't from my classes. I'd like to share what I know now after this past year. 

First, I learned where I went wrong. This school year, though it was fun aside from my classes, was a year I took defeat when I should not have. I let my problems get the best of me and take victory in my life. That's not at all how it should have been. I should have realized sooner that I was slipping into disaster, and been able to rise above it. But I can't get too down on my self with "should have" and "could have" and all the things I wish I did better. Because I made mistakes, and there's no re-doing this year. So here's what I need to do now: I need to get back in the game and take control of what contributed to my defeats. And that leads into another lesson...

Second thing I learned is probably the newest realization for me and a major part in how I approach the fall semester. I AM NOT DEFEATED BY MY BROKENNESS. I don't need to live broken in order to rely on God. There are plenty of people out there who rely on God in their lives and live victoriously, so why can't I? I was not made to be defeated by my anxiety and depression, but I was made to walk free and live confidently in who I am in Christ! I am to show who He created me to be and be a light in the world. I am a beloved child of the One True King and He has created me for SO much more than living in defeat. 

The final thing I learned that we are in constant battle throughout life, but I have also learned that GRACE WINS EVERY TIME. Our God wins in the end of this, my friends. I can do this. You can do this. We can do this. We can be champions because we are conquerors through our Savior, Jesus Christ. The same God that was with David when he battled Goliath is with me and you too. We will see these giants FALL. 

So what is the point of this post? It is to remind you, and mostly remind myself, that God has got our lives so strongly and yet carefully in His hands that there is NOTHING we cannot do with Him on our side. I will get on my feet. I will choose joy. I will choose grace. I will choose to rise above my brokenness.

Will you?

Thank you for reading, my friends. I appreciate it and I would love the prayer support if you would ever so kindly lift me up in that way, and if there's any way I can lift you up as well, let me know. Be blessed.

Love,
Abby Lynn

Recovery, Relapse, and More Recovery

Hi friends. It's been a few months since I last posted here, but that's because I've been actively avoiding my blog, sadly. I think it's because I just haven't known what to say. I've had quite the bit of heart troubles going on and, without going into detail, it's just been weighing on my shoulders and making living life pretty difficult lately. But here we go on some personal reasons for why I've been avoiding my blog as well as other things I normally love dearly. 

For those of you that don't know, I've been battling depression since I was about 12 years old, but it was never really diagnosed until I was 18 and decided to go seek therapy for the depressive thoughts and my anxiety. I've struggled with the two together for about 10 years now and some might say it gets easier...I just say you get used to struggling constantly. But I'd like to believe that it can get better; that I can get better.

As you may have noticed the title of this post is called "Recovery, Relapse, and More Recovery" and I called it that because that's how it generally works for me. I have these great periods of time whether it be days, or weeks, where things are fine and I don't feel crippled by my anxiety or depression, that even though they're still there, I can tackle my troubles better equipped for battle, and I even think it's getting better and I'm healing. Then a real bad day hits, and I fall into a slump. And when I'm in a slump, it's bad. Like really really bad. Because unslumping myself is not very easy. I get caught up in dark depressive thoughts, entangled in my anxiety, and all I wanna do I sleep because then the problems I face can't get to me, but it's so hard to sleep when I have so much to think about. So I just go about my days in my slump going back and forth between sleeping and lying awake overthinking everything. But then something manages to set me straight again. And it's always the same thing.

Whenever I'm in my dark days I'm so dragged down by everything that I can hardly breathe, but here is what gets me out of my bed. Here is what gets me out of my slump long enough to catch my breath again and find some solid ground. It is when I have become so broken that I find myself on my knees on the bathroom floor of my college dorm. It is when I have become so broken that I have cried myself to sleep one too many times and now I lay awake this night praying for a change of pace. It is when I have become so broken that I am leaning into the arms of a friend to console me in the reality I have to face that maybe I am just too afraid to get out of my bed. 

For it is in my low state of brokenness when God sweeps down and reaches out to me to cradle me in his loving arms.

It is in my brokenness when God tells me "Hush, my sweet sweet child, for you are loved and you are not alone in this."

It is in my brokenness when God is the only thing left standing and left to be whole when it seems like everything else has shattered. 

Yesterday I went to church at Hillsong Phoenix to hear Pastor Terry give a sermon that hit home real hard for me. It was about who we are to God and how it doesn't matter what the world has to say about us so long as we know what God says, because he calls us loved, righteous, redeemed, chosen, precious, valuable, and so much more. 

I am SO MUCH MORE than my depression.

I am SO MUCH MORE than my anxiety.

I am SO MUCH MORE than my fear.

I am a child of God.

And so are you, friend.

The whole reason for this title is that it is how the cycle seems to go for me. But why didn't I say recovery, relapse, recovery, relapse, ect...? Because it ends with recovery. It ends with healing. It ends with getting better.

I'm not gonna just sit here and wallow in the depths of despair forever. I am not supposed to be this way. I was not created to be defeated. I was created to be VICTORIOUS.

WE were created to be victorious.

So friend, in the midst of my struggles and pain and confusion I tell you this. God is SO good. Okay? And he loves you more than you could ever imagine. I don't know what you're going through personally, but if it's anything like what I've been through and am still going through, then I guess we're in this together. You're doing great. Hang in there. And I will too.

Spiritual Gifts (A Special Post)

Hello my loves! It's been a minute, hasn't it? Well, here we are, over a year of doing this blog and I send a big "Thank you" to all of you who have been following me from the very beginning, and to those who just joined in, welcome! Well, this is the first time I won't be posting a song analysis or a writing of mine, but rather this is an event I experienced today and just got back from. I have something quite wonderful to share with you, actually.

SO...

The other day one of my RA(resident assistants) posted on our floor FB page and asked if anyone would be interested in going to this Prism Women: Gift event and I had absolutely no clue what that meant, so out of curiosity, I looked at the description to find that this event would help reveal to me what my spiritual gift/s was/are to me and I would be lead by women who are more experienced in knowledge of their own spiritual gifts. 

BY THE WAY...The twelve motivational spiritual gifts are administrator, apostle, evangelist, exhorter(encourager), giver, helper, leader, mercy(comforter), prophets, server, shepherd, and teacher...

Any who, I went to the event today and got to worship, take a general assessment of what my spiritual gift is and then a more specific assessment that helped me to see my top gift. My main spiritual gifts are Helper at number one, and then Mercy, and it is crazy how much I learned today. I learned my downfalls and best qualities of my gifts, as well as how to use that gift to serve others and the Lord. 

Here's the coolest part though that I experienced, I had women with the gift of prophecy and encouragement speak over me and tell me what they heard God speak to their hearts about me. They lifted me up in prayer and I got to hear other testimonies from other women who have discovered their spiritual gifts as well. All the while, God was working so diligently on and in my heart that when the song "No Longer Slaves" was played for a short worship session, I was unable to even sing, I was so choked up and moved by the spirit of God working in my heart, telling me that I am a child of God and the chains I have been bound by are most certainly breakable, and he's going to break them and free me! 

Something else pretty cool was hearing one woman speak in tongues in a prayer over broken marriages, and another translate her speaking to "Grace grace grace grace grace", basically that grace is the answer to the problems in this one woman's marriage, and that when she shows her husband grace and love for how he is in his broken state, he will come before the Lord and bow and worship and praise His name.

All this wonderful stuff happened and it was really cool and I learned a lot, but the best part for me was simply the moving and working of God in my heart and mind and spirit, and just feeling His presence there with me to comfort me and guide me and assure me of His love for me. To know the truth of his love for me and how valuable I am to Him is so important, and if you don't know what your spiritual gift is, I so encourage you to find out what it may be and how you can use that to advance the kingdom and serve the Lord. I can assure you, it's one of the best choices you could ever make. <3

Thank you for reading this my dearies. I know it's different than my usual posts, but I felt the need to share what God is doing in my heart and I hope this has encouraged you to lay down you burdens before God and let him break your chains. Discover what He has for you, friends. You have a gift and a purpose; you were made for this.

Magnify

Well hello dearies! I did say I'd be back soon, didn't I? And so here I am! There's a wonderful song I'd like to share with you called "Magnify" by the band We Are Messengers. I saw them at a concert festival back in August while I was still in Michigan and I hope I can see them again soon while I'm here in Arizona. Now I'm gonna be honest, that was the first I had really heard of this band, and now their song "Magnify" has become very quickly one of my new favorite songs. So here's my little analysis on what this song says.

Magnify by We Are Messengers
V1:
I've been trying to make sense of the sorrow that I feel
Holding on for life to the only thing that's real
I've only scratched the surface, I've barely had a taste
But just a glimpse draws my heart to change
And one sight of you lays my sin to waste
I don't need to see everything, just more of you

Chorus:
Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

V2:
My sight is incomplete and I've made you look small
I've been staring at my problems for way too long
Re-align where my hope is set, until you're all that's left
But just a glimpse draws my heart to change
And one sight of you lays my sin to waste
I don't need to see everything, just more of you

Chorus:
Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

~Oh God, be greater than the worries in my life
Be stronger than the weakness in my mind
Be louder, let your Glory come alive
Be magnified

God be greater than the worries in my life
Be stronger than the weakness in my mind
Be louder, let your Glory come alive
Be magnified
Be magnified~

Chorus:
Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you, to you

Now for the overall theme, I see very clearly the repetition of God becoming greater, and that's really the most important thing to take away from this song. Making God the biggest part of your life is the best thing you can do for your life. Because when He becomes greater, and we become less, our lives are much more joyful because we know who we're serving and living for. I'm not saying life is always easier and happier, but it's always worth it and it is so much more fulfilling to serve God and Magnify HIS name over ours.

Now to break it down to the verses...

V1:

I've been trying to make sense of the sorrow that I feel
Holding on for life to the only thing that's real
I've only scratched the surface, I've barely had a taste
But just a glimpse draws my heart to change
And one sight of you lays my sin to waste
I don't need to see everything, just more of you

V2:
My sight is incomplete and I've made you look small
I've been staring at my problems for way too long
Re-align where my hope is set, until you're all that's left
But just a glimpse draws my heart to change
And one sight of you lays my sin to waste
I don't need to see everything, just more of you

The verses show such an honest view of our broken human nature of feeling sorrow and making God smaller by focusing on our problems. But both times the verses draw to how just a glimpse of God's glory can change our hearts and draw us away from our sinful selves. And I love the line "I don't need to see everything, Just more of you," because so often I find myself searching and searching to see every little detail of the plan that God has for me, but it's not all about knowing everything and every cause and for every reason why God does what God does, but just letting Him reign supreme and rule our hearts, and minds, and spirits, and lives by having the control to just be God. We don't need to see everything, so long as we see more of Him.

Now the Bridge and Chorus...

~Oh God, be greater than the worries in my life
Be stronger than the weakness in my mind
Be louder, let your Glory come alive
Be magnified

God be greater than the worries in my life
Be stronger than the weakness in my mind
Be louder, let your Glory come alive
Be magnified
Be magnified~

Chorus:
Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you, to you

This is my prayer. This is absolutely what is on my heart. That God becomes greater than my personal worry and anxiety in my life, that He becomes stronger than the weakness I feel from my depression that holds me back, and that He becomes louder and more magnified throughout all aspects of my life. This is my prayer and I can't pray  it enough. It is my prayer for you, my friends, and for myself as well. That through all I say and think and do in this life, God is magnified and glorified and no other name is lifted high but His and His alone. 

So I pray for you, whoever is reading this, that God becomes magnified in your life and you make Him the priority. And I pray for myself as well, that I remember who's supposed to be in the center and who is in control here. Please, friends, remember who is in control and who holds you together. Give all praise back to Him because He is so worthy and may He be magnified in all of our lives. 

Thanks for reading and have a splendid day, my friends.

Chain Breaker

Hiya sweethearts! Long time no post! Well, It's only been a month, but my goodness so much has happened to me in the past month that I felt the need to update you all on what goes on in the life of Abby Lynn.

For starters, I moved to Arizona for school, I turned 21, and I had another song hit me hard in the heart. Oh my word, friends. God is just so good. It's been a struggle to deal with the changes of moving as I have been sick with a cold for over a week, and I'm struggling to shake this sickness. But let me tell you about my God... He has given me opportunities to be active at Hillsong Phoenix on the creative team. He has given me wonderful people around me to help me adjust to the new life here in AZ. He has given me wonderful people back at home to love me from afar and show me constant love and support. He has given me all I need so far to be successful. Even through the sickness, I've been pushing through and trying to be productive while trying to rest up and feel better. Now let me be honest here, there sure has been a lot of spiritual warfare going on because Satan just can't help but attack God's children when we are more vulnerable to his threats and attacks. But let me, once again, tell you about my God, and also lead into the song analysis for this post... My God? He's incredible. He's supportive, strong, loving, all-powerful, all-knowing, and always good. And no matter what the devil does to try and chain me down, my God is a chain breaker. So here's "Chain Breaker" by Zach Williams.

Chain Breaker by: Zach Williams
V1:
If you’ve been walking the same old road for miles and miles
If you’ve been hearing the same old voice tell the same old lies
If you’re trying to fill the same old holes inside
There’s a better life
There’s a better life

Chorus:
If you’ve got pain
He’s a pain taker
If you feel lost
He’s a way maker
If you need freedom or saving
He’s a prison-shaking Savior
If you’ve got chains
He’s a chain breaker

V2:
We’ve all search for the light of day in the dead of night
We’ve all found ourselves worn out from the same old fight
We’ve all run to things we know just ain't right
And there’s a better life
There’s a better life 

Chorus:
If you’ve got pain
He’s a pain taker
If you feel lost
He’s a way maker
If you need freedom or saving
He’s a prison-shaking Savior
If you’ve got chains
He’s a chain breaker

~If you believe it
If you receive it
If you can feel it
Somebody testify~

Chorus:
If you’ve got pain
He’s a pain taker
If you feel lost
He’s a way maker
If you need freedom or saving
He’s a prison-shaking Savior
If you’ve got chains
He’s a chain breaker

The main theme, I feel, is that no matter what your situation or circumstance, no matter your pain or hurt, no matter your chains that hold you down, our God is stronger than it all. He's a good God and He's gonna break those chains that have held you down all this time. He is so so SO good.

Now let's break it down to the verses...

V1:
If you’ve been walking the same old road for miles and miles
If you’ve been hearing the same old voice tell the same old lies
If you’re trying to fill the same old holes inside
There’s a better life
There’s a better life

V2:
We’ve all search for the light of day in the dead of night
We’ve all found ourselves worn out from the same old fight
We’ve all run to things we know just ain't right
And there’s a better life
There’s a better life 

The verses show the struggle that we all face. We've all gone through the motions and listened to lies of a voice that is not of God. We've all kept fighting to fill ourselves with something to bring us fulfillment and we've come to a loss because, if we look to fill ourselves with anything other than God, we're still empty and left searching. But the verses conclude with this hope. There is hope because you don't have to keep searching and remaining empty. We have something that can fill us and satisfy our longing for love. God has all we need, my friends. God IS all we need.

And now let me share the bridge and the chorus...

~If you believe it
If you receive it
If you can feel it
Somebody testify~

Chorus:
If you’ve got pain
He’s a pain taker
If you feel lost
He’s a way maker
If you need freedom or saving
He’s a prison-shaking Savior
If you’ve got chains
He’s a chain breaker.

You see that? If you got pain, HE IS A PAIN TAKER. You lost? HE IS A WAY MAKER. In need of freedom or saving, well friends, OUR GOD IS A PRISON-SHAKING SAVIOR. And you get bet that if you've got chains holding you down, just give it all to Him because HE IS A CHAIN BREAKER. But now I ask this of you. If you know this to be true, don't keep it to yourself. If you know this to be true, go out and testify. Share your findings with others, tell the story of the chains that God has broken in your life, and if He is still breaking those chains, or you're wondering why He hasn't set you free yet, maybe you need to surrender to Him first. That's step one. Give your heart to Him and surrender whatever holds you don't and I know He will set you free. How do I know this? Well, He's a good God. He's a strong God. He's a faithful God. And HE'S A CHAIN BREAKING GOD.

Please take time to let this truth sink in if you're in the valley of your fears right now. Embrace the grace of God, my friends, and know that He just wants to set you free. May you have a splendid rest of your day, and week, and I'm sure I'll be back real soon. :)
