In the same way, let your light shine before others,
so that they may see your good works
and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

sharing.
it’s about time i started sharing some photos
that i took of some of the special people in our lives!
we’ve known this family for years and years

we got to go on a spontaneous train ride!
and call on me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you will honor me.

lens broke.
which breaks my heart.
i’ve had it on my camera,
exclusively
for nearly five years.
so after i grieved for a bit
i decided to get a new lens.
a different lens.
and i’m both terrified and thrilled
(which seems to be a theme in my life right now).
it will be on my camera soon.
and i think it’s quite symbolic
for where i am in life right now.
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”
