Fully Known/ Deeply Loved

Today, I ran from Jason's parents' house up to the top of Mt. Erie for my annual run around new year's. The forecast for the rest of the week looks rainy and I saw a few sun breaks this morning so I decided to head up the mountain today.  

But as I was running up the road to the top of the mountain, the fog started rolling in. 
And then, I was literally in the cloud at the top. 


Below is the picture in the same spot last year 
so you can see the view that is behind the clouds: 

Looked like a cloud forest up on top of Mt. Erie today 

around Heart Lake on my way home


As I was running through the cloud, I was listening to Tauren Wells in honor of you as I know you love his music, and then I put on a podcast called "Finding Fred" about Fred Rogers that I have been listening to as well.  The theme going through both of these turned into my prayer for you today that you would know how deeply you are loved just the way you are. 

Known 

Tauren Wells 

It's so unusual it's frightening
You see right through the mess inside me
And you call me out to pull me in
You tell me I can start again
And I don't need to keep on hiding
I'm fully known and loved by You
You won't let go no matter what I do
And it's not one or the other
It's hard truth and ridiculous grace
To be known fully known and loved by You
I'm fully known and loved by You
It's so like You to keep pursuing
It's so like me to go astray, ooh
But You guard my heart with Your truth
The kind of love that's bullet proof
And I surrender to Your kindness, oh
I'm fully known and loved by You
You won't let go no matter what I do
And it's not one or the other
It's hard truth and ridiculous grace
To be known fully known and loved by You
I'm fully known and loved by You
How real, how wide
How rich, how high is Your heart
I cannot find the reasons why
You give me so much
How real, how wide
How rich, how high is Your heart
Now, I cannot find the reasons why
You give me so much
I'm fully known (fully known) and loved by You
You won't let go (no you won't let go) no matter what I do
And it's not one or the other
It's hard truth and ridiculous grace
To be known fully known and loved by You
I'm fully known and loved by You
It's so unusual it's frightening
I'm fully known and loved by You

I Like You As You Are

Lyrics by Josie Carey | Music by Fred Rogers

I like you as you are
Exactly and precisely
I think you turned out nicely
And I like you as you are

I like you as you are
Without a doubt or question
Or even a suggestion
Cause I like you as you are

I like your disposition
Your facial composition
And with your kind permission
I'll shout it to a star

I like you as you are
I wouldn't want to change you
Or even rearrange you
Not by far

I like you
I-L-I-K-E-Y-O-U
I like you, yes I do
I like you, Y-O-U
I like you, like you as you are
