With a little hard work, dedication, strength, and sweetness, Rach and I won “most authentic barn structure” at the Southern Wedding Gingerbread Barn Making Contest.
Here is our celebratory hand clutch.
Merry Christmas!
Strength doesn’t lie in numbers
Strength doesn’t lie in wealth
Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers
When you wake up—Wake up!

words to repeat daily
to my…
future self,
I have some questions for you.
Do you have a job? Where do you live? Do you work out as often as you should? Still use organic facewash because it seems like the right thing to do? Have you taken up yoga? How often do you dance? Work up the courage to cut your hair short (GASP)? Please tell me you find time to read.
I suppose its up to me to get you there. I wish I could see ahead and prepare you for wherever “there” is, but the decisions today are all I’ve got. Wherever you are, know that it’s ok—you aren’t supposed to know the answers to those questions about down the road. You didn’t know the answers before and look where you are now.
sincerely,
younger self

I will heal their faithlessness;
I will love them freely
for my anger has turned away from them.
Hosea 14: 4
…Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me to glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
—Psalm 73
Sea otters hold hands when they sleep, so they don’t drift away from each other.
