Someone once told me that we see God best when we're forced to look up.

I think it's true.

Emily, this shows me the tender, beautiful ways love strengthens these hearts of ours, so we have something to keep on giving. The ways His love shows up, breathtaking. Thank you and bless you!

Wow, Emily. I will be praying for you, but I know already that you are going to be a blessing to those boys. That you already are a blessing to them. There is always so much mystery in God's plan. I pray that you have the strength to just trust and see it through.

Also, congratulations on the book contract. So very proud of you!!

Looking past hurts and wrongs and running after a forgiving spirit and love is exactly what I've been living through these past few days. It isn't always easy, but I keep on forcing myself to pray and to see those blessings the One has so graciously given to me.

Thank you, Emily, for always reminding me to look heavenward and to search this world I"m living in daily for every possibly blessing . Your words bless me and build me up more than you know.

I started not to link up but I want to be part of this "place" before it takes a breather! Emily, your life shouts to the glory of God, his faithfulness, his provision, his deep love for you that spills out in your words and your art----from your beautiful heart that he has uniquely shaped in His world. I know he has already made provision for every challenge that is coming and provided a place for all the blessings to fill as your life and love expands in new ways. Blessings, sweet Emily.

I haven't linked up in awhile, but I have continued to quietly follow. I adore your heart (and cutting your dreads just reinforced that :)

Bless you as you embrace the newness that this season is bringing you. I know God will continue to fill you with Spirit and words to reach others for Him. Shine on. xo.
