this man

{photo by Emma Grace}

this man is God's grace to me.
this man balances me, encourages me, reminds me to laugh at myself and to dream big.
this man loves order, hates clutter, and yet turns a blind eye to my "artistic messes".
this man is my sounding board.
this man shows me grace when i deserve it least and when I need it most {which is why it's called "grace", right?}.
this man loves quietly, constantly, sacrificially.
this man encourages when needed and takes pride in my successes as if they were his own.
this man, he is not perfect. but he is perfect for me.
this man is God's grace to me.

"{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember."
