There Will Be Nights Like This

My dear friend Abby got married last weekend. She was beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. Dancing with so many Trinity friends was a blast. And the sparkler send-off was the perfect way to end the night.














I cried on the way home.

Overwhelmed with happiness. God gave me the most wonderful gift by giving me this group of friends. His goodness was so evident to me in that moment. And I couldn't help thinking about me as a freshman, in the valley of depression, and how much I needed to know then that there would be days like this. There would be friendships and weddings, dancing and tears of joy. There would be nights when I fall asleep with this last thought: life is good.
