"One of the arguments we often use for not writing is this: 'I have nothing original to say. Whatever I might say, someone else has already said it, and better than I will ever be able to.' This, however, is not a good argument for not writing. Each human person is unique and original, and nobody has lived what we have lived...
We have to trust that our stories deserve to be told."
We have to trust that our stories deserve to be told."
-Henri Nouwen
Those words are an excerpt from some goodness that arrived in my email yesterday morning (I'm so thankful for daily wisdom from Mr. Nouwen!). I've been thinking a lot about this little blog lately and how I want to write more. I love capturing life in words and pictures and documenting all the joy and grace that God has woven into my story. Sometimes I don't even know where to begin, but because of the joy I find in remembering and recording all of the celebrations and special moments in life, I'm choosing to update this a little more often.
So here's to our stories and what God is doing to transform the mess into beauty and to writing more about the grace and gifts that God has given.

Today, I'm also celebrating this loca even though I'm not with her in person...
{celebrating her birthday a day early}
Happy Birthday, Carolina! So thankful for you and proud of the woman you have become! You have such a heart to serve others well and you have this crazy ability to make others laugh and feel comfortable. I'm impressed by your wisdom and your drivenness to accomplish what you have put your mind to and your consistent joyful spirit no matter what the circumstance. Thankful for your 21 years of life!
