The Streams of His Love

I haven't written a blog post in almost 19 months. For whatever reason that tends to be my habit. I take long hiatuses from hobbies and then pick them back up at random times. Blogging, I suppose, has become one of those things. I love to journal and document the happenings of my life but I often have a hard time finding exactly that... time. So, here I am at 1:16am listening to the static of the baby monitor, writing a new post. And it feels good! 

A friend recently brought my attention to a seemingly forgotten piece of decor in my home. It's a simple, handwritten quote in a wooden frame that was gifted to me by a dear friend when I got married.

"The seasons change and you change, but the Lord abides, evermore the same, and the streams of His love are as deep, as broad, and as full as ever." - Charles Spurgeon

I was tempted to wipe the dust off of the frame before snapping a picture, but that's not real life. Real life is a dust-covered frame sitting quietly under the soft light of a lamp with words that bear eternal significance. It's funny how we can see such important things so often that they become common and unnoticed. I find it fitting that I rediscovered this gem as I debated beginning to write again.

So many changes have occurred over the past 19 months.

Since my last post, I took a summer job managing the city pool

Traveled

   

Taught 3rd Grade Reading at the local elementary school

     

Celebrated another pregnancy

   

Celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary

Became an Aunt

Gave birth to a son

                

     

Visited with friends and family

and became a stay-at-home-mom.

There is a lot I could say about all that has happened in the last 19 months. But the most important thing {and perhaps the only thing worth saying} is...

though the seasons have changed and I have changed, the Lord has abided, evermore the same, and the streams of His love are as deep, as broad and as full as ever.
