Driving to Salsaritas Jon and I talked for about 2 minutes and than he had to go record. It was depressing, I hung up and cried a little especially after my morning of crazy missing him and being reminded of amazing times with him. I turned up the volume on my radio and immediately heard, "You are all I need." I cried and just worshipped God with all my heart the rest of the drive. He was all I needed. I was not downtrodden or even disappointed that we could not talk. God was just great. I told God, "I just cannot believe how often you are sending your love letters to me! This is such a spurt that I just cannot even get enough of!! You just keep speaking." There was a few moments where I just kept worshipping and than he said, "I never stop, you just dont open your eyes." I bawled. I love him. He never stops.
"Was I supposed to call you now or after church?"
"after"
"oh. okay bye"
"love you"
I was not pissed at Jon at all but my mood just kind of dropped. Like bummer here were 3 minutes that we could have talked. And so I went into Kensington just kind of feeling ugh. I really wanted to worship my amazing God but was just eh about life and could not really figure out why. Than we sang "Rain Down" by David Crowder band and I just kept thinking about my blog from the other day about God's love for me. I could barely sing because I just felt in my heart, "Who am I to ask God to rain down his love on me? He never stops, I am the one who stops." As we stopped singing the rain was pounding down on the roof so heavily and I just smiled and said in my heart, "SEE!!! It rains down whether I ask for it or not. He never lets up, by asking him to rain it down I am basically telling him he is not already. And he NEVER stops!" (note from the author: I do not think there is anything wrong with that song. I love it super a lot)
The pastor spoke. It was pretty awesome. I laughed. I frowned. I smiled. I cried. Message done. Music on.
"Unfailing Love" by Chris Tomlin.
I have never been to a Wednesday service at Kensington and did not know how they worked or what was next or anything but I could not contain myself. I stood up and sang to God with all I had. His unfailing love! Never stops, even when my eyes are closed to it. And He did it. That feeling that I described earlier of Jon and I at the concert. That huge place tons of people but feeling as though we were the only ones in the room. As I typed and cried about how I missed it and whatnot. God did that to me tonight. It was just God and I. Alone in all of Kensington. Halfway through the song I realized what He was doing, this feeling He was giving me. He saw that desire in my heart this morning and said you know what, I can do it better. And he did. Because he is God.
I pray that anyone who's reading this would have opened eyes to the ways God individually loves on you. There has been so much for me I am so heartbroken that I cannot write it down fast enough. Last night I finished my Guatemala journal. After my purchases for my nephew today I cannot bring myself to buy a new journal so it will have a lot on here and whatever I can get in my feather pen journal. The only issue is with how fast God is going I cannot dip that ink pen fast enough and maneuver it on the paper as quickly as I like. Maybe he is trying to give me practice and I just need to accept it :)

I love Kensington.
And I also miss you.
So I thought I would tell you both of these things.
And kill two birds with one stone.
