happy three day weekend. :)

today was wonderful.
most days lately have been wonderful, actually.
i love summer. and i feel like this summer is going to be one to remember. :)

reasons summer is so great:
-late night escapades.
-dutch bros whenever we want it.
-new (awesome) job.
-the river. the lake.
-awesome days spent with awesome friends.
-no homework...yet.
-many, many, many other reasons.
-....oh!..my birthday. :) :) [june 14th]
-...and lots and lots of really great Giants games.

Psalm 62:5-8:
"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God,
He is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to Him,
for God is our refuge."

Why do i love this passage so much?
-it reminds me of the hope i have in my savior. a hope that goes much deeper than anything i can even comprehend. an eternal hope.
-"for God is our refuge." how beautiful is that? he loves us so deeply and desires to be our comfort and place of refuge. i don't deserve it, but He knows more than me just how much i need Him.
- according to dictionary.com, the word fortress means "any place of exceptional security; stronghold." in his love and salvation, i am secure. I can feel safe and strong knowing that having Jesus Christ as my Savior leaves my soul unshakeable. :)
In general, this passage has been very important to me at many different points of my life.
