lets notice God together

today. today it starts. people start arriving. and the airport is my destination. to pick up a piece of home. this friend feels like home. tiffany is her name. being engaged the same time as your bridesmaid is such a joy. 

driving this morning as the sky released its weight in a rainstorm,

listening to choir songs,

and letting myself really take in this all…

this is it. 

this is the week

the windshield caught rain

while sweater sleeve caught tears

big moments

remind you of the empty chairs

and so we keep on

this practice of

holding joy in one hand and 

grief in the other and 

we honour both. 

oh how calm this excitement is. 

oh what a moment it is to be living in such an answer prayer. 

this is result of so many prayers sent up 

from quavery hearts. 

hearts that really didn't know if they dared to believe this was it, but one still prays because the Father already knows, so why not discuss it with Him. 

and now

we get to live in His YES

let's not rush through these days

I whisper to my heart 

be still

what a privilege 

in the hustle of a wedding week

to be facing all these last minute decisions

even if the brain is 

just done 

with decisions

we must still make them.

prayers cover travel plans

as snow covers the land

it will all be alright. 

many dear souls all are gonna gather

together 

and I just may cry at the very thought of that. 

I think my heart is exploding

it cannot contain all this gratitude. 

friend, take a seat here with me

for a moment 

lets notice God together
