the seasons are changing. The way the view keeps changing even though it stays the same
for my family and my friends. For my husband. For relationships and being allowed to get to know other people and to share with them the things that matter and to trust and be trusted.
the smell of coffee. The taste of raspberries. The feel of a baby’s head.
my computer and my blog and the ways I can talk and listen to other people.

antidepressants. Staples. Hot, clean water.
and most of all, for Jesus. That He’s in control, not me. That He loves me, unconditionally. That one day I’ll see Him face-to-face. That He is with me, no-matter what. That the gospel is true and it’s a Person and He is beautiful.
Love it Emma, especially the hula-hoops on the fingers, and the fact that we have a beautiful gospel. Thanks.
