a one time offer

i still don’t understand how or why sometimes, but i know that you are changing me for the better – and sometimes you give me the gift of actually seeing that. my prayer tonight is that you increase that gift.

sometimes you just have to go fishing.

bride

fishing.

i like how photographs remind you of the moment you took it.

your life is your own. isn’t that magical? i don’t have much money right now, if i did i would paint my room.

on an unrelated note:

look at the ducks.

what might have been lost, don’t bother me.

i still like the name of my blog. i am still saved by the blood of Jesus. i still reach for the deeper meaning of things. i still know that the Holy Spirit is what binds us all together and gives us that ‘i know what you know’ feeling. even if you don’t believe it, it is. i still feel like i have not accomplished much, and that in the future that won’t change really. i like two and a half year olds. they’re really cute and curious and like you no matter what. well, if they think you’re cool i guess.

there are things in life…

that genuinely bring a smile in my face…

and those things* are all that matter sometimes.

they make everything else seem so small.

what if we all saw it that way? like all the time i mean. because seriously at the end of the day my accomplisments (or lately lack there of) don’t make a difference.

of course i’m specifically referencing my nephews. but of course i could also be vaguely describing faith.
