Today I want to go here:
...or here
and in the morning when I wake up, maybe I'll be here. (though I think your pillows would be soggy...)
annnnd I'd like to go here. I have a thing about tree houses. I'm going to have one again one day soon.
But for tonight I will sit on the neighbor's couch and eat fruit out of a beautiful teacup. I will soak in the joys of today-- walking downtown and talking camp and the power of the Gospel in the lives of kids with a sweet friend; getting to chat on the phone with my favorite future ga tech bcm president; getting to finally see some sunshine... I'll be content to sit and smile and wait... wait actively on God.
The Lord is faithful. Always. What a sweet reminder He sent Jillian and I today of how He works, how He moves, and how He reveals truth in our lives. He is never far from us, constantly working, and actively revealing Himself in my life as I seek out losing all things in order to gain more of Him.
How lovely is your dwelling place,
LORD Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
LORD Almighty!

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.

8 Hear my prayer, LORD God Almighty;
listen to me, God of Jacob.
9 Look on our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.
listen to me, God of Jacob.

look with favor on your anointed one.
10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.
