Choose what you see

This verse has comforted me more often than you can imagine. 

 IN Bethany.

 With me. Through me. For me. 

In me. 

The verse literally means the place, the small town outside Jerusalem, but I have always been so grateful my parents named me after a place where Jesus had been. 

It has only been a few hours. I can’t give a summary of how I feel or what I have learned yet. But when I went to post this picture I went to the Bible.com app first and, sure enough, that verse jumped out and grabbed me. I planned to seek the Psalms, and can’t even tell you how I ended up in Mark, but there it was. 

Reminding me that Jesus is IN me. 

Lots of little ponytails

The first, startling, cut. 

By this point I was, perhaps, overwhelmed...

So Andy was silly in the completion of his.

Maybe it won’t be long enough to use, but I have to offer it. 

I have to try. 

This picture isn’t very clear, but it shows how amazing my husband is. He encouraged me to get dressed up, as several friends had suggested, and take a cute picture. My Andy is amazing.

My men. My crew. My strong support team. 

My Jesus has blessed me so much. 

That is my challenge to you- choose to see the blessing. 

Choose to find the good.

Choose to celebrate. 

Choose. 

Be blessed my friends, with Joy that overcomes.
