I’m not a fan of super-personal posts, but I like this photo because I love the boy in it and I love the people who were around us when it was taken.  I am incredibly, overwhelmingly blessed!

I’ve been on a bit of a crafting kick this year, trying to make people birthday presents.
This is JEANIOUS - the first teddy bear I’ve ever made.  He was a gift for a good friend doing 3 and a half majors this year.  :)

So dorky and cute!!  :D
We’re making 32 of these babies (with the help of their prospective owners) on Friday.
Please pray that they are blessed by the time we spend with them!

Storm

Sometimes it takes a storm to really know the light - 

the scent of rain, the weight of clouds 

pulling down the sky.  

*

Sometimes it takes a storm to know how you feel - 

to understand indigo and the varnished sun 

lighting up the fields.  

*

It takes the rain between the lines to know what sorrow finds; 

the way a cloud divides sometimes - the clearing and the blue.  

*

I love you.

*

I was just passing through and taken by surprise between the black sky and the blue.  Between the black sky and the blue - I love you.  

*

I love you.
