I’ve learned to just let the sun do its thing. #elliebephotographs
A few weeks ago, I was driving my car down a familiar road, almost zoning out, when this distinct thought popped into my head: you’re not in a valley. “But I have so many questions, so many things don’t make sense.” Again I heard, “You’re not in a valley. Look around you. You’re in a place of abundance. Be thankful. Be thankful. Be thankful.” I need to shift my perspective every day off of my circumstances and onto my Father in heaven. He’s in the middle of moving, doing things that are so much bigger than me, and when I’m focused on myself and what I don’t have or understand, I’m missing it. He welcomes the questions. He’s gracious in our doubt. But He is ready with abundance. Just ask Him to show it to you.
I never thought I would be a city wedding kinda girl, but Jay and Catherine may have converted me. 🤩 #elliebephotographs
I’ve been spending a lot of time in this book recently. It’s blowing my mind how I can read the same verses over and over again and get something new every time. How I can see the dots connect and themes pop up and truths sink in. The Word of God is seriously like nothing else. That’s all!!!🔥 (I use @blueletterbible and @youversion when I’m reading! Both are awesome resources!!)
