“You are my oasis — the eye of the hurricane.
One look at your face is all I need to remember by name.
So I run away home…. Yes, I run away home to you.
I was an orphan caught in a thunderstorm.
You opened the door and welcomed me into your arms.
So I run away home…. Yes, I run away home to you.
I believe in the love of the Father, and I believe in the power of grace.
I believe that he brought us together, and you are my one safe place.
You are a fortress; I am under siege.
You’re a light in the forest; I am a lost boy out in the trees.
So I run away home…. Yes, I run away home to you.”
— “My One Safe Place,” by Andrew Peterson
This song came to mind when thinking about them and the love they are so good at showing one another.
I am truly blessed to know this family. They give me hope and make me want to be a better Shelby. We took these photos last summer, and the time with them and the photos we created have been good for my soul.
