faithful.

It's been over two months since I've blogged.  I could say it's because I've been busy, but a lot of us are pretty busy in one way or another, aren't we?  But my life has been more busy than normal for me and (sadly) my blog has taken the back-burner.

In many ways the past couple of months have been full of contrasts.  Beautiful moments where my heart feels so full that it might burst and hard ones where tears are the only option.  Moments spent surrounded by wealth and moments spent surrounded by poverty that makes you angry.  Moments spent in the safety of my home and moments spent in extremely spiritually dark places.  Moments surrounded by heartbreaking injustice and moments spent hearing the stories of God's redemption in the lives of His precious children.

Sometimes I can't wrap my mind around all the contrasts.  It's just too much for my mind to comprehend and it honestly just doesn't make sense.

But if there is one thing I know for sure, it's this...

He is faithful.

And that's been my song these past couple of months... Has sido fiel.  God always has been and always will be faithful.

And so in the midst of beauty and pain and darkness and miracles and tears and laughter... He is faithful.

And for that, I'm grateful.

These pictures are over a month old now, but they are from a trip back north to see a good friend get married.  It was incredibly special :)
