I can never ever portray my feelings in the way that I feel them. I also have the hardest time saying what I mean. I could be thinking the of the most eloquent, and the best response to a question, but when I open my mouth, blubber comes out. Literally. I'm pretty sure that I say the word blubber a few times.

But thank God for his Grace, Mercy, and Unconditional Love.

9 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. ~Jeremiah 1: 5-10
