Oh I love how you expounded upon those ideas…transform, refine, and free. Beautiful. Love to you, friend.

“The stuff with skin on.” The real. Thanks for your encouragement, friend. I refuse to allow what we’ve walked through be in vain. Praising Him.

This is why I advocate for laying down self and loving even when we don’t feel like it. These ideas, these truths: that we are together to transform us into something greater than each alone; to refine us into something smooth and able to reflect our Maker; and to free us from our pettiness, our selfishness, our brokenness, and our aloneness. I love your words Lara! You bless me again and again.

What a blessing to read what God has done…is doing…and the promise of what He will do. The real stuff of life. The stuff with skin on. I love this: “…for it was created to reflect its Maker — full of love, forgiveness, honor, and freedom.” I often believe (because this is what I live out) that marriage is about me. Yikes! Thanks for your wonderful words.

And “as long as God is, there exists hope.” These words are such a blessing to read. You know I love both you & that man you’re married to…you guys are a true living testimony to the grace & workings of our great God.
