I can probably point out a dozen things that I don’t like about myself in this photo, and in so many photos that came to mind just now. Our flaws and shortcomings - why is that always the first place so many of us start? When I fail at making success out of something - a goal, a simple task, a relationship - my first instinct is to blame myself because I’ve somehow been conditioned to think an awful thought when things go wrong: I was not enough. I am not enough. // I’ve heard this sentiment expressed by so many people I care about, and it pains me because I know they are more than ENOUGH. So what makes me think I’m an exception? What makes any of us think we’re the exception? If there’s anything I’ve learned over the last few years, it’s that I’m loved, no matter how amazing or amazingly terrible I’m feeling. However much I think I’m missing, God fills in with graces that remind me just how enough I am, and I pray I’m not the only recipient who realizes it 💛 #YouAreEnough #TransformationTuesday 📷: @whitemariachi418 💕
“Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. And sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself.” // I’ve lived in Southern California almost my entire life, and I’m ashamed to admit that I barely visited my first national park yesterday. California has nine (the most of any state)! Joshua Tree has such a unique landscape and personality. Amidst miles and miles of dry land, there grow prickly chollas and stacks and stacks of rocks; tiny stones and huge boulders alike. We even climbed up a few 😉 We only saw a portion of the park so I can’t wait to go back and explore some more! #JoshuaTree #JoshuaTreeNationalPark #NationalPark #CaliforniaNationalParks
“Sisters function as safety nets in a chaotic world simply by being there for each other.” ~ Carol Saline // I was an only child for the first 12 years of my life, but for seven of those, this gal treated me like a little sister. I’ve known Ate Tin since I was 5, and she has become such a huge part of my wellbeing. She, quite literally, has been my older sister and I’m so thankful for her. I’ve learned so much from her and have tried emulating her ways since we met! When I said I wanted to grow up to be just like her, I meant it. Happy, happy birthday, dude! Thanking God extra today for allowing me to be part of your life! Love you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
How many group photos can we take in one weekend? Well, when you’re armed with a tripod - a lot! And when time together is few and far between, I take as many photos as I can. // Each year, my college friends and I spend a weekend together - wherever! This year, we stayed at the cutest house in Palm Springs and I remembered just how fun it was 20+ years ago when we were all at UCI. The ten of us never lived together, but we might as well have. I’m so unbelievably grateful that our friendship has not only lasted, but has grown as well. Time and distance can be challenging factors in relationships, but we’ve somehow figured out how to make each meeting feel like we’d just seen each other yesterday. I love you girls, and I’m taking all of our new inside jokes (as if we didn’t have enough already) into the new week and any time I need a good laugh. Also taking all your love and hugs - there was plenty of that ❤️ Here’s to many more weekends to come! #COFPalmSprings2019 #NailedIt #BongosandBathingSuits #Croppable #HorizontalClimbing
I'd climb every mountain And swim every ocean Just to be with you And fix what I've broken Oh, 'cause I need you to see That you are the reason... @calumscott @leonalewis ❤️ // We all have a REASON - people we love and those who love us back even more, our faith, our hopes, our dreams. What or who is your reason? 💞 #ThankfulThursday for #MyReason
Friends becoming parents, especially for the first time, is one of the most heartwarming and fun things to watch! ❤️❤️❤️
