Welcome!

I'm so glad that you've joined me in discovering the world around me.

Recently my life has taken several unusual turns. I've discovered that I'm too focused on the things that the world says that I need to be. And in the process I'm missing out on some amazing things.

Join me as I go through life learning more about the simple things and noticing the beauty God has put right in front of me.

Matthew 5:4

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Have you lost someone close to you? It could have been a parent, child, husband, wife, brother, sister, or close friend. It hurts. It hurts more than any words can describe. Do you know that even in those darkest and most painful of moments, you are blessed beyond measure? You are blessed because when you are in your deepest despair, you cling to God more and more. You pull yourself closer and closer to Him as you cry harder. When you mourn, you seek out comfort. The same comfort you might reject otherwise, you accept today. Only then can you throw yourself into His arms and accept the full amount of the comfort that He can give you. What wonderful comfort to know that in my darkness, He brings the light.
