Tea time in Bath! Loved my English tea with an English garden just outside!
all the words
When I write a blog post, I often sit with a cup of tea and ponder what I would say if you sat with me. That's what this space is for. You and me, hands wrapped around warm cups, catching up, sharing thoughts, dreaming, living creatively, and enjoying all the things in real life.
The Lonely Daughters of Eve
The woman across the aisle from you. The woman behind you in the mile-long line at Walmart. Your neighbor. The woman who sits next to you at Bible Study. Your seatmate on the train. Your boss. The barista who draws the heart on your cup every morning.
The Janky Little House
Isn't that the beauty of time, and what becomes a memory? God moves in the space of what was and leaves us traces of grace, and softens the hard edges of our experiences.
When You Burst Wide Open
Living burst wide open isn't pretty; it's raw, vulnerable, and sloppy. The challenge is actually to live it. Throwing your arms around people means you have to throw your arms around real people - people are messy, hurtful, and offensive. (But so are you...so am I.) Living is feeling and carrying burdens.
