dear raymond's face,

"your FACE, write me a blog letter, dangit!"

...and so i will write your face one back < 3 .

hmm..so that
was definitely
a tantrum.

there's no way around it.
i said immature phrases and hmph'd
and metaphorically held my breath
till...who knows what
but for some reason
you didn't
get angry
...at all

if anything,
you were the one to keep me
from getting angry
at myself

when i realized what a bratty, selfish thing i'd done

i was appalled. ashamed. afraid.
you'd seen it, all of it
you were there.

i was ready to run away
you had every reason to too
but instead..

you gave me grace < 3

..you teach me grace
and help me to grow in it
not even in order to pursue you, or this relationship..
but in order to pursue God
and get a better understanding
of who He is in my life
and how He is the one
to truly give it

there's not much things i can think of
more important than that
more worth pursuing in a relationship
than the things He blesses me with now
through this one.

thank you

but more so..
above everything else
thank You.

loves surprises,
hannah
