I hope and pray everyone has people they can cry in the arms of. Part of healing comes with dropping your inhibitions when it comes to crying and just letting your tears fall. To be in a safe place where you know you won't be judged for crying your heart out when that's the way you feel. This is what Lindsay has been for me.
My dear friend Lindsay. There is something about her heart and her love and in this time of my life, she was the friend I needed. I've had so much joy being with her family here in Grandview. In Lindsay's world there is the joyful evidence of God's redeeming love from our lowest of low points to restored relationships. In Lindsay's world there is this freedom to be human. In Lindsay's world there is the some of the best laughter that ever existed.
I've learned or maybe relearned or maybe learned in a new way this much:
1. How to hurt when I hurt
2. That it's ok to dream and dream big.
3. The journey from immense pain is the best one.
4. There exists out there so much joy that you just want to burst it's unreal.
5. Life is hard. People suck. I suck.
6. Jesus is worth it.
7. Being in love is hard but so fun.
Lindsay and Joel run Café Main. It's such a swell shop and they really are one of the best couples I know. I love them so so much! I praise the Lord for the help he gives in the form of friendship. There is something so sweet when he touches souls with souls and we realize we are utterly dependent on him. I've cried so many tears and I know I have many more to come. With it I sing to a God who is faithful and true. Undeniably good.
