Redeem: 33

So, I'm just reading the article you posted on facebook today.

I've decided that--despite a desperate desire to support you in everything you do--I will not "like" it.
[Wouldn't want to come on too strong or anything...]

But can I tell you here [speaking of coming on too strong...]
how much I love it?

I don't love it because I understand it.
Truth be told, my brain is tired,
I have twelve hundred other things to think about right now,
and it is a barrage of words I cannot seem to organize.

I love it because it is evidence to me that
you are walking in who God has said you are.

I have a list of "who you are,"
given to me one prayer cabin day
before I understood that God actually does things like that.
[Like, right before...]

And I'm not going to share them all here,
because a girl should always keep some mystery about her...

But here's two:

Brilliance, in quality of mind.

And,

Bringer of light.

I've been praying for the full fruition of that list,
ever since I heard it.

And that article says to me: Yep.

I love it, indeed.

[redeem, verb: to free from what distresses or harms; to release from blame or debt; to regain possession or recover ownership; 
to convert, restore, atone; to save]
