i am being challenged by these three quotes, each stumbled upon during my shameless internet meandering. (sometimes web-browsing really can be life-giving).
1.
“I was going to get closer, close enough to shoot with my 24 and fill the frame. Today I shoot life, weddings, friends, family and everything up close. Personal and intimate.”
-sean flannigan, photographer, here.
2.
“i believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. i guess a loving woman is indestructible.”
― john steinbeck, east of eden
3.
”if you’re clinging too tightly to your things, to your plans, to your comfort and convenience, to your idea of what your family should look like — God cannot move in your life.”
– shelly owens, adoptive mother, here.

Wow. Love that last quote and the blog it lead me to. There is a spot in my heart for adoption and I can’t wait for the day I get to welcome more children from around the world into my home. Thank you for sharing!

we have that spot in our heart, too, lindsy. i’ve been reading many such blogs these days, and we’re just asking Papa to show us in what way and when He wants us to love the fatherless.

I, too, followed the link for that last one and have been crying over blog posts now. Thank you
