life.

im listening to Hungry by Joy Williams.
and i just read a blog by a close friend of mine.
and it just... pulled something in my heart. this real truth. something that was very real in my own life, but i just hadn't realized.

this past weekend i was at my camp.
and i was home. not home in brooklin.
i was just home. i was at peace.

that place is such an escape.
a place that lets you just become the raw person that god created you to be.
and i feel so myself there.

these people just surround you. and love you.
not the cheap kind of love. the heart on msn love.
this love, where they will sit with you and listen to every word you say.
that they will tease you, and make you feel cared for.
the love that is so evident when they smile at you. and so genuine.

they bring out the best in me. and thats so cliche.
but its true.
i can say the dumbest things. and its okay.
they laugh. and take me for this thing that i am.

i dont have to create myself. i have no image to unhold. no expectations to meet.
they see me in the eyes that christ sees me. and its just...
its incrediable. and im so thankful for that.
i have learned how to love. and how to be patient. and how to be weak. and how you be strengthed.


its a glimpse of heaven.
a place after life, that i, who am completely undeserving, will experiance.
and that gives me hope.
