Summer is over... fall is coming (although it doesn't feel like it yet).
Abby and I have gotten into the most random habit this summer. We have begun to take pictures of our flip flops and coffee mugs. We are so random.. and yet these photos mean something much deeper to me than what I imagine she knows.
Some see the lake in the morning with random things on the beach.
I see something completely else...
I see the beauty of friendship that is easy and fun, but also deep and meaningful.
I see adventures and excitement, but also journeys to the hard places.
I see the simplicity of coffee in the morning with a friend, waking up to the amazing possibility of what the day may hold.
I see the edge of the lake (or occasionally the ocean) and the true blessing of friends who will walk with you to the edge and hold your hand while you take the next, scary, unknown step.
My friendship with Abbs is a blessing to me and a challenge as well.
Beyond her I am blessed with other amazing friends and family and co-workers and youth who challenge me in the same ways and grow in me a desire to live a much bigger and more meaningful life... all the while being true to my calling to be exactly who I am. I am so undeserving and grateful all at once!
I am here. I am blessed. I am EXHAUSTED from my summer.
Recap coming soon!!
