More than two weeks in and God has already revealed some pretty amazing lessons, truths, and love. More than once I have found myself on my knees, admitting that I just can’t go on, that I need HIM, that it has to be HIM. And I know there is more work to be done.
As I’ve wrestled with some pretty challenging days, pouring out more than I ever thought was possible, God has been faithful to provide release. Please know that I am safe in HIS hands, and it is exactly where I want to be. It is exactly where I need to be.
There have been some incredible people surrounding me. Darci holds me up as I cry and can hug for the longest time. Di talks to me about everything and just really holds me accountable. Rachel surrounds me in such creativity and passion. And just the sound of Anna’s voice brings comfort. Dave constantly reminds me of God’s faithfulness and HIS promises. And Zack is an incredible listener and understands, even if we sit in silence. This is my family.
And in our free time and on our days off, we find many ways to release, to laugh, to breathe. It might be worshiping, snacking all day, reading, talking, watching movies, walking around town, getting some sweets at the bakery, having a dance party, playing with children in the street, snacking some more (can you tell food is important to my team?)…or just celebrating with each other. Either way we find a way to release.
The following pictures are from our most recent celebration on Sunday. Di’s favorite football team is the Ravens. So we threw a football celebration day for her, even though we couldn’t watch the game. We enjoyed trail mix all while sporting our duct tape made jerseys and tossing the football. And we ate chicken quesadillas, chips and salsa and guacamole for dinner on the roof. It was a good day. And the video, provided by Darci, is just for fun.
