99/365: Everything that isn’t completely shit

I’ve mentioned over the past couple of months that life has been difficult. There have been things placed in my life I’ve never had to deal with and it’s not been fun. I’ve tried my best to not cave, to not let those things get me down, to not let those things add to my depression. And I’ve done a pretty good damn job of it. Yes, Dear Reader, I have posted quite a number of things here that help me release tension, to let go…

And I have let a number of things go. And I’ve read and meditated on 1 Thessalonians 5:18 — “in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” And boy, am I thankful. And I am giving thanks because I am a believer. I know that I am a sinner. I know God loves me. And I know he loves me through it all. I am thankful through it all. I am thankful for the shit and I am thankful for the things that aren’t. I am thankful because I am loved.

I am loved.
