the last couple months of 2017 have been hard and intense.
life is a lot right now.
a lot of good and a lot of hard and a lot of everything.
laughing and tears.
sorrow and joy.

2018 is going to be about choosing to see the gifts He’s pouring out,
and clinging to and pressing into Him.

in light of that,
i am excited to announce the start of a new project for 2018.
a project just for me.

with a grateful heart.2018

a 365 photo project where i take a photo each and every day
of the gifts He is pouring out upon me.
i want to see my life through His lens.
pausing.
seeing.
receiving.
watching and waiting for moments to linger on
and delight in Him
amidst the fullness of these days.
