It's been a rough year. Usually, I try to project (or am) a stable, even-keeled, self-sufficient self. I don't ask (most people) for help and I rarely say I'm not ok. But this year, I'm in transition and that has left me unstable, without the resevoir of "ok" that I've had in the past.
I haven't written because I haven't had the time to think, to know what to say. But now, I'm taking a different approach. I want to focus on now instead of worrying about then. I am so incredibly blessed in my life, and I want to share that with you in the form of some pictures that make my life so good.
This may seem self-absorbed, but here's why this picture... I love driving in sunshine in the winter. It comes from car rides with my mom in MI. She celebrates even the weakest ray of sun, and so now I do. Plus, I love this coat. Vain, but true.
Recently, my friend Beth and I have been texting at 5:45 AM for some morning accountability. We had both been struggling to get up and get good time in the Word, so this is our solution.
Not a good picture, but action shots on the iPhone are hard. This is the BTA boys' basketball team (in white). I've written about them before, but really, I love these boys. This year, they're a group of emotional-wrecks, which has made it an interesting season, but they're making improvements, which is encouraging.
Yesterday, I had coffee with my friend Jeremiah. In almost 2 hours of conversation we covered a broad range of topics, from relationships to Jesus to a bigger discussion on creation-fall-redemption and a provident God. It reminded me that life is so much more than the problems in front of my face. My faith means that I believe strongly that God is orchestrating something so much greater than me.
This week was a thankful, happy week.
