oh, the LORD's been good to me.
my life's not always sunshine and best friends and thanksgiving meals and cozy happy lalala. the pictures below are just highlights, moments of much goodness, that i want to remember for a long time. "and when i give thanks for the seemingly microscopic, i make a place for God to grow within me." -ann voskamp ^^ on wednesday night at church, we had a special thanksgiving night with our high school small groups. every week i genuinely look forward to seeing these women, but there's just somethin about sharing a meal around a table that knits hearts together even more, huh? i don't know, maybe that's too sappy. also i might be convinced that warm, homemade bread is a love language... just sayin. also, the nametag. ^ someone else's memory. explored in the grooviest treasure trove in the cities with my cousin & sister last friday night, called hunt & gather. could've spent a day there. ^ ^ then me and sid sat across from each other at a little table against the wall in one of our favorite little eateries, the copper hen. i'll remember that meal with fondness for a long time. a lot of love and a lot of warmth all around. ^ me & sid also stopped at the MIA that night (it's free, and we're city explorers on a budget, lol). another adventure with sid at the MIA here. we really know how to go on cheap adventures. i'm pretty proud of us. ^^ ugh. i don't even want to try to tell you what that weekend meant to me or what these individuals mean to me. ^ justin was there, too. in case you were wondering. diva divs. i'm really not trying to be corny, but that sunday morning put so many pictures in my mind of shalom. of right relationships. of human living as it should be. of Jesus at the center of friends. it was beautiful and i'm so thankful. ^ this looks like home to me! OH. ^ hanging out with sidney so much these days is definitely something i want to remember. she's really important to me. so are those pumpkin smoothies we're sippin on, but you know... in different ways ;) ^ oh yeah, and there was that time when alyssa was coffee and i was a donut and we handed out candy to little bumble bees and monkeys and elsas and darth vaders and gnomes (by far, my favorite costume was this little two-year-old boy with suspenders and a fake beard and big cone hat as a gnome. i died. and then was revived to tell the tale.)
oh, the LORD's been good to me.
