There have been days recently where I have felt haunted by expectations, and more so my inability to live up to them. It's strange, I just realized, to be writing during this particular struggle, as I most often write post-struggle when I've pulled out some sort of meaning in retrospect.
I write to you today without an answer, and perhaps without any one specific conclusion, but rather as a fellow soldier, struggling to win another battle.
I do know one thing as of yet - and that is that there are small things in life that help us to remember that it is so much more than the struggle, so much more than the issues - It has everything to do with people, with life, and most importantly, love.
Holding my niece, Audrey Elizabeth is my beautiful reminder of our dependance on our Savior and the grace He has for us, His beloved. I don't believe he could have created a more beautiful creature.
It's been a Summer of struggle, a Summer of new Life, and a Summer of love.
I will share soon.
