This is not my house.

These are not the works of my own hands.

I take no credit no praise no adoration no glory.

It is He who built this life. He who offers the protection and comfort that my soul so craves.

The hands that offer undying support.

I stand in awe at what I have struggled to finally accept.

That this is not my house, my life.

Anything that can make me stop and think as much as this quote has is worth painting on a canvas and keeping around. 

I am grateful for my God who has taught me compassion and connection. 

And who continues to push the boundaries of the view I have of Him, of Her, of this life, and of this universe.  

How do you perceive God?

"The more quiet we are & the more humble we are in the face of our experience in the 

natural world - & stop trying to overcome it or dominate it- 

the more were going to find a healthy coexistence with it."

I get paid to work with helicopter engines.
& I love every second of it.

I am taking my baby sister up to college today.
5 years since I was in her exact shoes.
So like, i'm going to go crawl in a hole now.

tea

& on the worst weeks

I wholeheartedly believe

that if you take 2 hours out of your Saturday

& have tea at the Grand America with your best girls,

complete with rasberry jam and chocolate pastry goodness-

when you step back into the line of fire

nothing is as bad as it seemed before.

tea parties

& scones

& fancy hats

cure most ailments in life.
