...then comes marriage...

28 March 2013.  Remembering 28 March 2009.  What a fun anniversary!  Philip went to work late.  We threw up a sheet in our apartment and took some pictures of us in our wedding outfits (Philip even wore his suit to work in the evening).  As you can see we had a guest at our shoot.  Soren would have worn this Moroccan djellaba, I'm sure, if he had been at our wedding.

These are some of my (B) favorites.  I love this man!

Reaching

With regards to Soren's life, I often feel like Mary who treasured all these things and pondered...

This morning I was listening to Phil Wickham's song Cielo.  I heard these words:
"I can't lift my hands high enough
lift my hands high enough
when I'm reaching for you, my God"

At this moment, Soren, who was sitting in my lap facing me, lifted his arm up so high in order to reach for my face.

We are not God that we can compare ourselves to him and his experience, but it sure gives me a thrill when I see the ways of God exemplified in our daily loves and longings.
