How We Live Our Days

Spring is not here but I know it will come. That's faith.

I wish that I could send each and every one of you a real bouquet of flowers to thank you for the gifts you've brought into my life. I never imagined that my search for one little person would reveal so many wonderful women along the way. Life is messy but God is good.

Today I read a quote from Katie over at Amazima that said "the way we live our days is how we live our life." I have to fight it hard but I refuse to live my days miserable and impatient.

So I'm thinking of spring and all the promise it brings each year. I hope my flowers from Snowmass Village bring you the same joy and promise they bring me.

PS. If you are looking for wiser words today I really recommend reading Katie's post. Counting the cost. From a 21 year old. Truly I am humbled by what she has given.

The Right Words

My last post got long.

I think Sara Groves wrote the words I was searching for.

Lyrics - Add to the Beauty

we come with beautiful secrets
we come with purposes written on our hearts, written on our souls
we come to every new morning
with possibilities only we can hold, that only we can hold

redemption comes in strange places, small spaces
calling out the best of who we are

and I want to add to the beauty
to tell a better story
i want to shine with the light
that's burning up inside

it comes in small inspirations
it brings redemption to life and work
to our lives and our work

it comes in loving community
it comes in helping a soul find its worth

redemption comes in strange places, small spaces
calling out the best of who we are

and i want to add to the beauty
to tell a better story
i want to shine with the light
that's burning up inside

this is grace, an invitation to be beautiful
this is grace, an invitation

redemption comes in strange places, small spaces
calling out our best

and I want to add to the beauty
to tell a better story
i want to shine with the light
that's burning up inside...
