today.

Today. The day before vacation. Sitting a work. It is raining. Five things are on my mind.

One: I am so excited about tonight. I arrive in New York at 8:59 pm. It is time for my annual trip to NYC. Erin, Hannah, and Anne are my travel buddies, and I couldn't be more excited about being with them. There is something about that city that I crave. And there is something about those girls that is so special. They are some of the clearest examples of Christ in my life, so I know our time together will be encouraging and life-giving. I am eager to get there.

Two: My grandmother is dying. She has chosen alcohol as her crutch and is drinking herself to death. I am in the process of writing her a letter. There are a lot of things I need to say to her, and I don't want to miss my chance. Do I think she is selfish? yes. Am I angry with her? of course. But do I still love her? absolutely.

Three: My computer sounds like a train. I can't concentrate because it makes such a loud noise. I am assuming it is on its last day. Oh man. I wish money grew on trees because the last thing I need to buy is another computer. Ugh.

Four: My dad is getting married. October 10th is the day. I am so excited for them.

Five: God is good. It is crazy all the Lord provides for His children. He asks us to step out in faith, and He will take care of the rest. Matt's life is such an example of that.
