He finished his bachelors last summer,
{Magna cum laude}
but walked today.
{Thank you, Son.}
One thesis away from his masters.
On the brink of adulthood.
Weeks away from having a wife.
And following God's call east.
When did he get so tall and whiskery?
{Heart overflowing}

Thoughts:
There are days I hit a wall.
I don't feel particularly creative.
Sometimes I'm just tired and cranky,
and I want to end this year's notion of capturing an image every twenty-four hours.
But I'm pressing on.
There is something about looking through my lens every day
that is awakening a heart of gratitude within me.
The small, simple pieces of my life
have taken on fresh beauty.
I'm noticing things more.
I'm still unpacking what that all means,
but slowly God is pointing me to embrace the ordinary,
to live in the present,
and to look for evidence of His handiwork at every turn.
That's all for now.
I'm sure there will be more on this later.
God's not done with me yet.
