~Feel~

I found some stickers that have been laying around awhile and paired them with this gorgeous frame.


The bird is from ODBD.

I was inspired by

My thoughts?


Ugh.  This is tough.


I was thinking about when my husband was deployed for 15 months...and the normal, everyday feelings that were hard to enjoy.

 I had to remind myself to LIVE,FEEL,EXPERIENCE...even if I felt guilty for laughing, discovering, enjoying our kids (while he was probably in danger and not laughing so much).

TOLD YOU THIS WAS TOUGH!


I REMEMBER laughing one minute...then grieving the next...knowing he wasn't there to see the girlies grow.



God taught me to cry then.

It was easier to NOT FEEL.

But God showed me I needed to.

I needed to grieve, cry, laugh...even just a little...because it glorified Him, and meant I was ALIVE.

Sometimes, even when life is so black and white...so STARK or even bleak...

we need to FEEL.

Even if it's a little bit, like the pops of color here.

The pretty lil' dots bring a bit of life to this dark,black machine.


Enough to say...

"Sense,share,cry,feel,see, discover!"
