This week we are fighting colds and almost-hibernating without apology — because a little rest is needed between what got accomplished in 2019 and what we are dreaming up for 2020. We’re also trying to read through the Bible this month, and I’m not sure if I’m going to make it on that, OR on this 365 project — but today, I am one week in on both, and the Pentateuch is behind me.

Grace & peace, friends.

“Time is not running out. This day is not a sieve, losing time. With each passing minute, each passing year, there’s this deepening awareness that I am filling, gaining time.”

“With you, I can be myself;

With you, I don’t have to be somebody else.

It’s like putting on my favorite pair of shoes.

I like to be with me when I’m with you.”

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure;

then peace-loving,

considerate,

submissive,

full of mercy and good fruit,

impartial, and sincere.

Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.”

James 3:17-18

6,478. mothers who want photos taken during hard seasons

Last night we took family photos with their whole clan. After the nine grandchildren were back inside, and the sun was quietly setting, Andi asked if we could finish with some portraits of her and Josh that somehow acknowledged and honored the difficult season that they’re in.

I’m sorry the past year or two has been a little dark, friends — but keep holding onto one another, and keep looking towards the light. Please see yourselves as others do — full of strength, courage, faithfulness, goodness, and beauty.

“Photography” means “writing with light,” and that’s what I wanted to say to you both with the fading light of yesterday. I hope you feel all of that when you see these photos — but if you need the translation…there it is.

Thank you for trusting me with your portraits, Rays. Bless you.
