Shade Among Shades

Let’s be shameless

Let’s dance around singing about how great our God is. Let’s paint our toenails and let our hair fall down in a wavy mess and revel in being female. Let’s drink tea and read poetry on a rainy day while wearing fuzzy socks. Let’s paint and draw and sing and write as well or as badly as we are able just for the sake of it. Let’s curl up in the glory of this life, because we are pursued, kept safe, and deeply loved by a Savior who holds the stars in his hand. That is what I want to do today…put on makeup and a pretty scarf even though no one will see me and blush in the presence of my only Hope. I want my life to be about seeking beauty, creating it where I can, and giving it away in bucket loads. I want to rest in His arms, and be the kind of person who exudes that rest and peace.

One step at a time. But today, let’s be bold and soft and show how we are loved.
