A Day in the Life

Life is good because God is good.
School has been out for almost a month and I have been enjoying the break sooooo much. I have been working on a quilt, digging in the dirt, walking, noticing, resting. I am grateful for friends who have opened their home to me for the moment before I move westward for the remainder of the summer.

I've really been into rocks and wire lately.
something soothing about it.

Opening Up

Yesterday I woke up early. Sun was shining across my pillow. Robins were chattering. My window was open.

My heart felt open too.

The last few months have been pretty dark. I've been holding onto hope, but at times I was afraid I might fall. I don't always understand these intense, periods of heaviness that I feel, and I often wrestle with the whys of my thoughts.

But it seemed like overnight something changed in me. Something lifted off my heart, and I felt refreshed.

God is good. Really good.

Focus

I don't really know what to blog about anymore...it all sounds the same.

I do know that I am thankful that God hems us in on all sides.

Without His compassion, I would unravel.

Even before a word is on my tongue , behold, O LORD, You know it all together.

You hem me in, behind and before, and lay Your hand upon me.

~Psalm 139:4-5
