I'm so thankful for some of the simplest things lately.
Moments where words aren't necessary. Early morning talks. Doorway standing. Communicating via facial expressions. laughter. The security of feeling loved. Being different, yet so incredibly similar. For honesty and tears and the aftermath.. ride or dies. a job i love. 9 senior girls who let me into their worlds For feeling God move in places i haven't in the longest time. To wearing cardigans that don't belong to you in hopes that some courage will rub off.
For looking at the mess with hope. For praying for the people who take up the most space in your heart. For starting over with family. For morning breakfast talks and after school homework sessions. For Orpah classes, and honesty, and water colors, and crafts and Christmas. Gingerbread lattes. Warms smells. the smell of amber and vanilla. Truck loads of coffee.
Kitchen table sessions. Watching the same movie a million times and laughing every time. Shared experiences. hashtags. new traditions. moder families. Saying yes when it's easy to say no. Play lists. Theme Songs.
Courage. Bravery. Humility. Fighting for people. Praying. Words that stir inside you. The change of the seasons. The smell of Fall turning into Winter. The glimmer of the ice. The sight of your breath on the cool air. Pictures of random things at Walgreens. Laughter. pictures. Never running out of things to talk about. Being more of myself than i ever have.
Knowing that this is not what we planned, but it' real cool and has changed us in the best ways.
these things? They're the playlist of my life.
