Another month in review! ❤
Pain, if sanctified, creates tenderness towards others.

Things worth remembering
- my sister’s graduation party
- cousin shenanigans
- mosquito bites and songwriting
- diving into edits on Project Redemption
- laughter and encouragement shared via Facetime
- a sibling bonfire
- scavenging flowers from the field edge
- corn day, the slip and slide and moon gazing
- being at eye level with the hawks or vultures or whatever they were
- marching out of the grocery store with a shocking amount of mini donuts
- starting a weekly schedule for my newsletter
- the first apple fritters of the year
Know the holiness of waiting.

What I’ve been reading
change of state – Hannah Hodgson
And in the tidepools of all the tears there is sea glass and shells, a cradle of mercy; you are producing beauty housed in the presence of God.
One of my very favorite poets finally released a poetry collection!! Hannah portrays grief and loss in the light of the resurrection so beautifully and with such poignance. Sadly this collection was only available for a limited time…but you can read some of Hannah’s poetry over here on her Instagram account. I highly recommend it.
The Mouse and the Motorcycle – Beverly Cleary
The sound of voices so close made Ralph more eager than ever to escape. “No!” he shouted, his voice echoing in the metal chamber. “I won’t have it! I’m too young to be dumped out with the trash!”
Reading this again has been such a joy. XD
Giants in the Earth – O.E. Rolvaag
Her loneliness was so great that she felt a physical need of bringing happiness to some living thing…
I finally finished this book! Towards the end there were a couple of characters that drove me crazy, but it was definitely worth the read and the ending was powerful.
It is sure to be well with us when we feel and know our own folly, and are heartily willing to be guided by the will of God.

From the journal
Oh, Miracle-Worker, may I rest content, joyous even when healing hands seem stilled.
Don’t let my soul live paralyzed!
What made this past month memorable for you?
