It's the week After Easter... Resurrection Sunday... celebration of New Life and Power over Death. Last week was good. I had some good reads last week: Love to the Uttermost , The Jesus Storybook Bible , Galatians , John , The Story of Hope . I listened to a Resurrection playlist that was over 8 hours long so I don't think that I ever made it all the way through. I had encouraging time with my church family here as we celebrated the Truth of the Gospel. And now, the Week After, I am feeling a little ...overwhelmed? let down? Because After Easter I have only 3 weeks left of class. And After Easter I only have one week left with my Moving Friends. And After Easter I only have a month left with Friends who are here for school. And After Easter life seems so.... well. anti climactic? Which is all ridiculous because the whole beautiful thing about the week after the Resurrection is purpose and hope Before it was me the hopeless and helpless los
Holy smokes, it's been a year already! You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun! ;) Since I didn't really blog at all about the Best Day Ever that happened last year, I thought I would steal a Q&A idea from some of my favorite photographers . We both answered these questions separately, so it was fun to get together and read our answers and pick pictures. :) Note: all pictures in this post by the one and only Clara Williams Photography. What was the most memorable moment? Liz: So many moments to choose from! Here's a few that stand out: My nephew Jared and new B.I.L, Joel, caught a baby rabbit and brought it to me while the girls and I were getting ready (it was sooooo soft!). My original B.I.L, Jason, "You're a mess!" as he attempted to clean grass that had gotten stuck in my dress train when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle. Praying with my dad and mom just before we went down
I feel like I am in a transition place. waiting. planning. carrying on with "normal" life. anticipating the changes that the future holds. just trying to get laundry done and keep the dishes washed and the bags out of the way of foot traffic. I feel like I have been blessed with so much. a great support network of friends. awesome church family. job = perfect for me. so many opportunities to satisfy my wanderlust this year. the black hills in my back yard. family who love Christ and love me. that's why I was a little surprised to find myself searching. to find myself dissatisfied . i wanted more places to go. more people to spend time with. longer nights. everyone's schedule planned around me. better experiences. more adrenaline thrills. time off work. the responsibilities to take care of themselves. why is it not enough? because i found myself seeking for attention or acceptance or satisfaction anywhere other than from Christ .
