What a happy week this has been -- two dear friends got married! So much celebration and joy and beauty covered all of these past few days. I have been surrounded by people I adore, people who know me and care for me so well. It has been such a blessing.
After our townhouse cleared of friends today and the wedding buzz died down, I took a long walk. I remembered writing something last summer in my journal - "I feel like my truest self when I am loving someone else."
When you find yourself surrounded by people you love, your skin fits your bones better. You feel like you are using your heart right for the first time - you feel like you've found yourself serendipitously in the perfect place at the perfect moment.
I think that God knows what He's doing when He saves place inside your heart to love the people you end up loving. And when He brings those people into your life and situates them there. The magic of that thought astounds and humbles me - that the God of the universe prepared me to love others, and that when I do that I am acting out my purpose here on the earth.
So thank you, friends - for being people I love. Thank you for making me my best and truest self.
