Summer: Day 38 (Crater Lake)

On July 16, 2010August 28, 2016 By LarissaSpareIn Uncategorized

After a beautiful drive through Oregon, we arrived at a tremendous sight! There is something about standing in the mountains that makes you feel small and stand in awe of God.

Here I am, sitting in a coffeeshop on the first day of my summer break. My hair needs a hair cut, my eyes are tired. I definitely feel a little like I was run over by a bus. I am so thankful for a job that provides me with space to rest. ⁣ ⁣ Summers spent working on passion projects in coffeeshops are necessary to renew my heart and mind. If I have learned anything these last 6 months, it is that, setting intentions for joy opens the doors for God to overflow my cup. ⁣ ⁣ #summer #podcast #hopewriters #larissassummerofabundance #joy #rest #renewal

Anticipation of the day⁣ When the peonies bloom⁣ When the little bud opens⁣ To become a fist full⁣ Of petals⁣ ⁣ Showing off their life⁣ In their own time⁣ ⁣ To remind us⁣ That spring ⁣ As come again⁣ ⁣ To cheer our hearts⁣ During a busy month⁣ Of endings ⁣ ⁣ To fill vases ⁣ And gardens⁣ With soft, glorious, color⁣ ⁣ Arriving just when we needed⁣ A reminder of what⁣ Results in waiting⁣ ⁣ #poem #hopewriters #peonies #poetry #spring #waiting #blooming #flowers #blooms

For those that⁣ Deserve more than a day⁣ For all the unnoticed⁣ Or unacknowledged⁣ Ways you have loved⁣ those entrusted to you⁣ ⁣ For those that ⁣ Had littles and they have grown⁣ And you feel on the outside⁣ Of their lives⁣ Or unwanted by them⁣ ⁣ For those that ⁣ Ache with a longing⁣ Unmet and unanswered⁣ That grows stronger⁣ Or more painful⁣ As the years turn⁣ ⁣ For those that ⁣ Have a broken or tenuous⁣ With the one⁣ Meant for this day⁣ ⁣ For those that ⁣ Are tired and worn out⁣ By the mundane days⁣ Filled with snacks⁣ And laundry⁣ And little sleep⁣ ⁣ For those that ⁣ Celebrated this day once⁣ But now grieve ⁣ And mourn ⁣ Because she isn’t here ⁣ To accept the flowers⁣ Or read your card⁣ ⁣ This day is heavy ⁣ with emotion⁣ With meaning⁣ With pain⁣ With joy⁣ With reality⁣ ⁣ You are seen⁣ And loved ⁣ And not forgotten⁣ ⁣ #poem #mothersday #hopewriters #mothers #mom #notamom #poetry

In a season when all things swing from being “fine” to too much so easily, this double full rainbow was reminder on a platter of God’s promise to me. It was a clear word to my heart tonight. Not just a little picture but a full double rainbow declaring the abundance and fullness of God. #doublerainbow #fullrainbow #Godspromise

God answered unknown prayers in this few days. He knew what my heart needed more than I did. I thought I just needed to work out and eat some lettuce. (Which I needed to do and did today!) Driving with the windows down and Gospel Music blaring. Friends who feed me. Hugs from middle school girls excited to see me. Friends who listen to what is happening in my heart and life. Pictures of the cutest niece and nephews. Friends who want to eat at the same restaurant every time we hang out! All of it...was exactly what I needed and I didn’t even know it. ⁣ ⁣ I often feel so incapable and inadequate for all the things that life requires of me these days. I probably say the wrong thing, use too many words, and fall short in a million other ways. But He continues to remind me that He is doing the work that I will never be able to do and I get to be a witness to it. And sometimes even in my inadequacy, he uses me, and then encourages my heart through it.⁣ ⁣ This Easter is one for the books. ⁣ ⁣ #Godsgoodness #sunset #baptism #Easter2019 #prayer⁣ #nofiltersunset #kc

When someone hands you a little bit of art, you treasure it and display it. You show it off to friends. @madelynnerae handed this to me after she shared part of her story with us for the @inthemidstpodcast and I was blown away by her generosity. ⁣ ⁣ If you think about it, all artists that share their work with the world are generous. They bare a piece of their heart and soul and give it away. When it is on display or spoken or sung or for sale it isn’t just theirs anymore. Thank you! ❤️⁣ ⁣ I feel honored when artists are willing to share their gifts. If you are an artist that struggles to share or you have dreams of sharing, someone would most likely be blessed by your generosity. ⁣ ⁣ #artists #artistsway #generosity #gifts #art #grateful #hopewriters
