truth be told, i miss you...truth be told, i'm lyin'
dear 2008,
i could say some really nice things to you, how even though you put me through so much, all of it has made me a better person. that i have been "hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." and that because of you, because you broke my effing heart, you have made me free to trust in the reckless and extravagant love of God. for while i was still a long way off, my Father came running towards me, threw His arms around me, kissed me, and had a celebration.
this is all true.
but what i also really want to say is....
2008, you are a crazy bitch. quit calling my house. IT'S OVER.
love,
jeni.
