Salvation is Here
So, I'm getting married this week. This week is also Thanksgiving, which rivals Christmas as my favorite holiday. Getting married on Thanksgiving weekend was very intentional, and as I listen to everyone else around me share their hearts and give thanks, I am even more convinced that this atmosphere is the one in which we were to be married. My Thanksgiving song for this week - and maybe the rest of the holiday season - is Salvation is Here by Hillsong United.

Cause I know my God saved the day
And I know His word never fails
And I know my God made a way for me
Salvation is here
Salvation is here and He lives in me

Salvation is HERE. For God died for us - he sent us help - just when we needed him. We cry out for help and we don't have to to wait. Salvation is here, right now! My God made a way for me. He forgives and lives in me. He sent me Andy as a tangible example of how perfect his love can be. Salvation, grace, love. God's good and perfect gifts that I am thankful for this week and always. Thank God for this week, this holiday, this wedding to celebrate those gifts.

Happy Thanksgiving.
