Hey, y'all!
This chapter is gonna be short, but I hope it's encouraging. :)
So today's Valentine's Day and I'll be honest, I was in quite the mood today. For a while, I've been pretty content with this single life and realized how I've been spending less time worried about being in a relationship...
And then 2/14 came around. Around my college campus, love was in the air. I might have gagged a few times, especially seeing all the cute couples, people with gifts, balloons, teddy bears, you name it! It's not that these things are repulsive. I'm happy for those people and I love a fluffy teddy, but I felt really upset because I wasn't getting any of that. I might have shed some tears. And you know what? That's okay.
Being vulnerable is and should be okay. We can take those honest and VALID feelings to God. So cry hysterically, scream into you pillow, laugh so hard you snort, and feel those human emotions. We can ask for strength to work through them and trade them in for His unconditional love. As sweet as chocolate-covered strawberries are, it's nothing compared to being covered by His reckless, redeeming, unconditional, never-ending L O V E. Draw nearer to Him today as you feel these feelings (good or not-so-good).
So let's remember God's love today and every day after this. It's going to be okay. You are more than alright.
You are loved.
You are valued.
You are wanted.
I love you to the moon and beyond!

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:
"I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness..."
