Joy // A recurring theme lately. To rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice. To enter in to the joy of my good King. Reminded that in order to taste and see that He is good, I first have to pull up my chair & feast my heart at His table.

"This, too, is a gift from God, for apart from Him who can have enjoyment?" Ecc. 2:24-25 // This season has been the first one in awhile that I've been able to engage in pleasure reading and ENJOY it, without feeling guilty or distracted by the din of a never ending to-do list constantly knocking on my mind's door. Sad but true. The list hasn't changed, but I have. Thankful for peace of mind. For my first book of the year, Tolkien didn't disappoint. #georgiagoodness

"The people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned...for to us a child is born, to us a son is given." Isaiah 9:1,6 My life has hope and peace, where before was despair and hopelessness. I know purpose and grace, where there used to be defeat and depression. My formerly homeless soul has found its dwelling with God, the King of Kings. I am so thankful Jesus was born, and so I rejoice and say, Merry Christmas.

2nd star to the right and straight on till morning...to Georgia I go! // Leaving Santa Barbara feeling refreshed, joyful, known, peaceful, and fully satisfied in the purposes of God. He is so faithful. SB family: I am still forever transformed by your love. Yearning for you with all of the affection of Christ Jesus until next we meet. In other news, it has come to my attention while in a crowded airport that my shirt is inside out. #thisisreallife
