At least I'll always know

When my toes grow numb from walking home in the rain on dark, cold nights…
At least I'll always know I'm not far from a warm house.

For the times when my thoughts run wild and creativity is flooding my mind…
At least I'll always know I have many avenues to express myself.

The times I feel like I can never obtain perfection at my job…
At least I'll always know I have something better to strive for.

For all the work scenarios I take home with me in my thoughts…
At least I'll always know I'm doing something I'm passionate about.

The times my sides have hurt from laughing too hard…
At least I'll always know it's easy for me to find humor in any situation.

When I think about all the unanswered questions I've had in my life...
At least I'll always know that the more mysteries I pursue, the more I find out just how little I know.

When I miss my friends who moved far away…
At least I'll always know I know the coolest people who live life fearlessly, and for that I am constantly inspired.

For the many times I lament about the clothes on my floor…
At least I'll always know I have options of clothing to wear and two hands to pick them up.

When the winter cold sets in and I start to get sad…
At least I'll always know I know how good the warm sun feels.

On the days my body hurts, but I want to run anyway…
At least I'll always know I'll never love my love for running.

When my face turns red from reading past journal entries…
At least I'll always know that I'm constantly progressing.

When song lyrics play in my mind at all times during the day…
At least I'll always know I'll never lose my love for music.

Those times that I need to get out and escape the momentary complications of daily life…
At least I'll always know the river will always be there and flowing in the same direction.

The times I've been insecure about feeling "different"…
At least I'll always know that I'm not like anyone else.

For those nights when the clatter of wind wakes me up from running across my window panes…
At least I'll always know I have a shelter to protect me.

When I hear the sound of the door open or smell something sweet baking in the kitchen…
At least I'll always know I have the dearest housemates.

For all the places I wish to travel and sites I day dream of seeing…
At least I'll always know I'll never lose my love for adventure.

And those days I wonder If I'll ever find love…
At least I'll always know I'm capable of loving.

The times I've stood back and seen how the Lord has guided my life…
At least I'll always know that I have a savior who knows me personally.
