My cup runneth over

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.
Psalm 19:14

First and foremost, I love Starbucks! Seriously! This stuff is amazing!! I have a new(er) addiction right now and it is a Venti (Large), Non-fat, No water, Chi tea latte with three (3) pumps of Cinnamon Dulce!! Oh goodness it's amazing!!! If you don't like hot drinks from SBux, then you can get it iced (Light/Minimal Iced, Venti, Non-fat, no water, Chi tea latte with three (3) pumps cinnamon Dulce). Oh dear how I am in love!!!

Alright, now onto things that might matter a little bit more than my sad addiction to a tea! :) So on my first post I bragged on my besties for a bit; however I failed to make special mention of the amazing guys the Lord has graciously put in my life. So I'm going to gush about them for a minute.

Outside of my blood family, the most amazing man in my life is Zach, hands down! He has been by my side for years now and played such an enormous role in my life. I know, without a doubt, that there are days he literally saved my life. When I felt like I was alone, I had no one, and I meant nothing; it was Zach who made me see different. He has put up with my millions of mood swings, my good days and bad, my highest highs and lowest lows, my job changes, my church changes, my "crush" changes, and my spiritual growths. He has continually pointed me to Jesus Christ in times when I could not see straight. There is a song that says "You were my strength when I was weak, You were my voice when I couldn't speak, You were my eyes when I couldn't see, You saw the best there was in me. Lifted me up when I couldn't reach. You gave me faith 'coz you believed. I'm everything I am. Because you loved me!" I think those words were written about my best friend. I feel at so many times in my life, he's been one of those for me. He is truly a brother to me and I love him so much!!

Then there is my boy Phillip. He is one of my best friends at school and another one who seems to put up with me in spite of me. I asked him yesterday at school why he was friends with me (kidding) and he said because its what he does. I told him that I'm odd, loud, and boarder line, if not completely obnoxious, and yet he said he will remain my friend! :) He has such an amazing faith in the Lord and such a passion for the Word. He loves people like I haven't seen before. He is determined and dedicated to the things he believes in and is willing to give a helping hand when needed. He, just like Zach, has pointed me to Jesus Christ when I didn't feel like looking. He has been an encouragement in so many ways to me. It seems like he'll pop up with an IM at the exact moment I need it. I praise God for Phillip and cherish him so much!!

Lastly I have to mention Johnny!!! Johnny and Phillip are probably my best friends at school (don't get me wrong, I love and care for each person there, but my relationship with these two (2) is different). Johnny has such a sweet spirit about him! He has an innocence mixed with maturity. I have never seen Johnny not smiling, even on days he may not be having the best time. He has an incredible musical ability and such a passion for it!! He always has a way of making me feel good about myself and finding the wonderful things about myself that have been given to me by God. He is extremely lovable and friendly, I don't know if there is anyone at the school who doesn't love him. He is an encouragement to me in the Lord and supports me no matter what!!!

I only mentioned three (3) of the amazing men God has placed in my path to learn from, and previously three (3) amazing woman as well. God has blessed me countless people I can turn to and confide in! I am overwhelmed by God's grace in my life. I am surround by such amazing, God fearing, passionate people that I can/do draw my strength from. Most people beg for one (1) or two (2) and I'm fortunate enough to have multiple people pouring into my life. I'm so undeserving and extremely thankful!! I give God all glory for his dealings in my life!! I love you all!!
