our jackets were quickly thrown aside and we traipsed about throwing footballs and leaves and riding bikes and dumping sand.
the weather outside feels the way i do on my insides.
glorious.
amidst falling leaves and changing tides...dying perennials and barren forests...
life remains.
the fall and i have much in common.
seasons of change may look bleak from the outside, but closer inspection shows great potential.
and each day i dream of her. hoping, praying, this is the last fall without her.

ReplyDeleteps- LOVE the necklace for your sweet girl and hoping this is your last holiday season without her... what a blessing she will be when she's finally here with us!!!
ReplyDeletei am reading crazy love too...and i love it. it sums up my life perfectly in that, sometimes following god (i.e. adopting a 5th child) is a crazy thing.
