Weekly Update
I love how the light streams into my kitchen during the day. I captured my favorite area of kitchen light in the photo above. Do you see how the light penetrates the shadows, bounces off still objects and creates beauty?
It reminds me of life. Sometimes all we can do is be still and pray for the light to come.
God has been so very close this past week and showing me even in the shadows, his light comes in and makes things new and beautiful, just like the image. Without light, the image would be dark and gloomy.
Sometimes it takes periods of shadows and darkness and gloom for true light to come in and change it into something so beautiful it takes our breath away. Sometimes we are so desperate for change that when it comes it is hard to grasp it and all you can do is exhale.
There recently has been breakthrough in areas of my world that I have faithfully prayed for. Because my story interweaves with the stories of others, I am not free to share, but I want to shout loud that GOD HEARS OUR PRAYERS.
His timing in answering them can seem like forever, but He has shown me over and over how good and trustworthy he is, working behind the scenes of life, making all things fit together for good.
Hold on in the darkness. Look for light in the shadows. Have faith that a good God sees you and has a plan and purpose. Choose trust and joy as you wait for it all to unfold–be still! Know in the end, light wins, and true beauty will come.

A Few of My Favorite Things
I have had this wallet case since last October and LOVE IT. It is pretty in the rose gold, (also comes in silver), stores my driver’s license and a credit card, is super protective, wears beautifully, and has a handy little magnetic lock stand. It is my favorite iPhone case by far!
While we are on the subject of cases, I have to share with you my new computer case. I have had it a week and I am super impressed with the quality. The inside is the softest, cushioned material–almost velvety–and has thick cushioned protective edge. It is nice to look at with the sturdy leather handle, and compact enough that I can slip it in my large purse when I don’t want to carry it. The front pocket stores my cord with smaller compartments for pens, earbuds and my usb connector. I bought the black one with the brown leather handle.
