I am back. It has been a hard couple of months. I think this photo illustrates what I am feeling…life can beat you up and take a few chunks from you, but ultimately it is beautiful and the beauty and the pain point us back to God.
I think that my immediate family and my extended family are on a more even keel so I am able to return to blogging. As I said before, I have been doing a lot of evaluation of my life. Gentleness and grace seem to be what I keep hearing, so that’s what I’m going with in this season.
Thank you so much for all of your kind comments, face book messages, thoughts, and prayers. You touched my heart. <3

Yay! You’re back!
Thank you, Brittany. I’m starting off slowly. 🙂
So glad you are back…I was thinking about you and praying for you yesterday.
Thank you, Jill! What a sweet thing to know that friends from the internet are praying. I hope to meet you someday!

Welcome back, Elizabeth! I am praying for your family.
