Waking Up.
“We are not asleep, beautiful in our isolation.” - April M. Payne
I’ve found myself numbed in recent weeks, sleepwalking through my to-do list and long workdays and the chores that go on and on. But there’s life in pausing to notice, in collecting a handful of words when you can – a quiet rebellion against staying asleep to a higher calling. We are made in the image of the Creator, and creation is our birthright.
These are some words I’ve written and some words I’ve loved.
john & lauren.
Two of my favorite people are celebrating SEVEN years (and a happy, little announcement) today! We took some photos a couple weeks ago, and these are a few of my favorites.
