16 letters of love

I feel very blessed right now. Extremely blessed actually. I just received 16 letters from a girl in my dorm named Megan. For anyone who doesn't know Megan you are missing out on being constantly encouraged and built up. She is truly a gem. She constantly strives to love people just as Christ does. I came into my room at 12:47 am and saw a present on my desk. I soon realized that Megan wrote a letter to me for each week of this semester. What a beautiful surprise. Over the past week I have been feeling very convicted about making God number one in my life. Over the Christmas break I had neglected some of my time spent with Him. I started back into my bible reading yesterday and was in need of some encouragement. I opened my letter for this week and it read.

"But seek first the kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you a well."-Matthew 6:33
"Give Jo strength to put you first and foremost in everything"

It is so crazy how God uses people to speak to us. I am feeling blessed. I am feeling encouraged. I am feeling love. I am feeling joy.

you are.

I found this quote. And I just think it is the cutest thing ever. Plus I think it is very true. Everyone has a little weirdness in them, that is what keep us unique. And if you want to try and argue that you are not weird...well thats just weird to argue about...therefore you are weird. So accept it. Embrace it. We are a all just a little weird.

“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” -Dr.Seuss
