Upon your baby’s first day of kindergarten
Hold onto the joy, and let go of your regrets. Praise the Lord for the gift it is to walk through another doorway of motherhood, over another starting line with your child's hand in yours.
In the mess
I will be real and I will feel life and I will be Naaman who bends the knee, enters the muddy waters of the emotions. True lament is the bold faith that trusts Perfect Love enough to feel and cry authentic. Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts
Upon your wedding day
So the day is finally here when the babies of our two families take their steps to the altar and become their own family. There is much to say, much to remember on this holy and blessed day, a day I must confess I have been dreading for over a decade.
In Pursuit
I know now that the Son shines in winter, and joy breaks me open to see it.
When the Lord isn’t willing and the hardwoods have to go
So, when the Lord's not willing, and the week's been chopped up down to the concrete, pour yourself a cup of tea and run a bubble bath and cry into the suds if you have to.
