Do not let any unwholesome talk
come out of your mouths,
but only what is helpful for building others up
according to their needs,
that it may benefit those who listen.
Ephesians 4:29

2116. K’s smile

wedding

 

a friend did this recently
so i thought i’d adapt it for us.
B and me.

 

9 years.
3 kids.
2 books.
5 places lived.
1 fish.
54 nights spent in the hospital.
countless prayers to God.
countless i love yous.
a million laughs.

 

(more anniversaries here and here).

 

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us,
to him be glory in the church
and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations,
for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21

 

 

2111. possiblities
2112. trips
2113. an afternoon with my girl
2114. the most amazing dessert
2115. Auntie B coming to my rescue

 

 

my heart is full and heavy
at the same time.

the depth and breadth
of Jesus in my life right now
is so very evident to my heart.
allowing me to see
what’s actually really important.
and everything else is fading away.
those time wasters.
those goals and dreams and ideas.
all which are vanity.
fading away.

 

(fabulous shot taken by my sweet + most talented friend)

 

but these three children of mine
(how perfectly her is that bandaid?
daily i tell you.
daily.)
these three are what make my days
spin + stop.
make my heart full + heavy.
at the same time.

As you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things.
Ecclesiastes 11:5

2107. helping her see herself in His eyes
2108. leaving and returning
