You make beautiful things.

The sun came out today.
I love the sun. The sun brought happiness on my life today.
Today was a good day.
A few things to point out on today.
Kaleo. I love Kaleo. Tonight, this Wednesday night chapel was outside.
It was such a different feeling than the normal chapel.
The brisk cold wind, the stars in the night sky, the trees swaying back and forth.
I felt the presence of God.
I felt His arms wrapping around me, comforting me from the cold. More specifically, telling me, it's okay.
Everything is going to be alright. Everything is alright.
Yes, it will still be a struggle at times. Things take a lot of time to let go of. And I have a lot of things I need to let go of.
But it's all going to be okay.
During Kaleo, they played a song called Beautiful Things by Gungor.
The bridge says "You make me new, You are making me new."
Yes Jesus, you are making me new.

Another thing, while I'm sitting here, at 2:03 AM, in the study room in the library, with a few of my friends, studying for a CMIN midterm tomorrow, a verse popped out to me.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4.

Perseverance. Hope. Trust. Joy. Love. Christ.

"You make beautiful things out of dust, You make beautiful things out of us."
I love you, Lord.
