Sunday morning, quiet snuggles, waking light
These are the moments of my life. The gifts God has given. The reason for everything. My whole world, my joy and fear, my love and hope,
and this is the man that makes them happen.
This is the man who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, and shelters me from it.
When things go wrong he takes the fall and when he saves the day he never expects a word of praise.
He has fought wars, he has changed diapers, he has lost and loved and still carries the heart of a child.
This is the man who loves hardheaded me and somehow wisely leads me.
We have walked through the valley of the shadow of death together and made it through, barely hanging on to eachother’s hands…
barely hanging on, but still in love and falling deeper so into eachother’s arms.
He was the rock I dashed myself against while the storm raged.
He was the rock I hid inside when I could take no more.
His steadiness bore my questioning, bitterness, fear and rage, and when I would try to run away he gently waited and brought me back.
He has seen the ugliness of death and life, the confusion and mess, epic tragedies and quiet crisis and still he believes that goodness is true.
He had no one to turn to but God, and He kept us walking by His side.
I am so thankful for this man, more thankful than I can say
I am incapable of repaying even a tiny bit of what he has given me but I will keep trying…
Wounds are healing and life is beckoning, beautiful, faithful and new.
Sue - So glad that wounds are healing and life is beckoning…because of this man
Lindsay - Sharon,
I JUST discovered your blog….and in my own pursuit to feed the hunger of photographing almost everything and attempting to become better at it, I am obsessed with your photos. And your children. And your success at being a mother and a wife. I have mad respect for you and Jesse and hope to get through my own darkness and find what you have together, if God wills it.
Thank you for sharing. You are inspiring. You have a beautiful family.
Lindsay
admin - Lindsay – your words mean a lot – thanks for sharing them so honestly! We have walked through a lot of darkness to find this place, and who knows what comes next… Thankfully God is gracious to be our guide. Everything is only because of Him, and His arms are always open wide – I certainly don’t deserve this family He has granted me to journey through life with. I have only ever been a disaster, just ask my Mom 🙂 Would love to chat about photography!
