I thank my God upon every remembrance of you...

I feel like not a lot of people are as blessed as I am when it comes to the people they have in their lives. Especially when it comes to my best friend, Corinne. I seriously love her more than I can handle sometimes. God placed her my life exactly when I needed her, and no matter what seasons our friendship has seen, He always places us back together at exactly the right moment. She knows everything about me, from the things that no one else would want to know, to the things that I don’t even like to admit to myself. If there was a best friend contest, Corinne would win, hands down. I can talk to her about anything and not feel uncomfortable even once. We have cried together, laughed together, and yelled together more times than I can count. She’s been honest with me when I needed it, and she’s let me go when I needed it, reminding me that Jesus alone can be the dweller of the throne upon my heart. What amazes me is her never-failing strength. Everyday the things of this world threaten to pull her down, but each day I see her fighting harder to transcend this world to the one her Father is calling her to. I have seen her grow so much as a person, friend, and daughter of God since I have met her. I was there when she got baptized, and I’ve seen her break chains, overcome lies, and silence the voices that label her unworthy. I've watched her as she shed the rags of a harlot and allowed her Beloved to clothe her in white. She burns with more passion and lives with more love than anyone else I have ever met. She has been the truest example of unconditional love and faith in my life, and because of her friendship, I am a stronger person, friend, and Servant. I like to believe we bring out the best in each other. She’s sometimes (most of the time) the only one who gets what I’m saying. She doesn’t judge or lie to me, even when it hurts. I see so much of God in her, and I like to think that when I get in heaven, I’ll be able to look in God’s eyes, and see a little piece of her staring back.
