Are not five sparrow sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid, you are worth more than many sparrows.

Luke 12:6-7

this truth has been rattling around in my head and my heart for a while now. when you let it sink in, it changes the way you view yourself, how you view others, and how you live your life. the weight that comes off your shoulders when you realize your needs are going to be met is incredible. even more incredible is the fact that we get to be used to meet those needs for others.

sometimes my photos are about finding beauty in the things that are usually overlooked. sometimes my photos are about showing what it looks like to love your neighbor as yourself. sometimes I'm not sure exactly what they're about. but they always have an air of redemption and they're always my heart.

take a peek. and hopefully be inspired to go and love others well, because you have been so well loved.

dear 18 year old who tried to hit on me today:

“i really like your nail polish”  is probably not the best approach.  also, when i ask you the question “do you know so and so”, it’s best not to let on that you’re not listening to a word coming out of my mouth by responding with a dazed head nod and a “that’s cool…”

AND!  do not assume that because i have tattoos i am interested in seeing your unicorn and narwhal tattoo on your peck.  DO NOT OFFER TO FLASH ME.  and get better tattoos from here on out.

it’s things like these that make me think adulthood is just one, big, elaborate hoax.
