It is official. We closed on our lake house. This 960 square foot cabin is all ours. My spirit soared as Jeff and I stepped out of the title office and into the first glorious sunshine for weeks. It felt like a gift–the sun warm on my face and the packet of signed papers tucked under my arm.
We have much work ahead of us with this faithsizing adventure, which I will write about in the days, months, and years to come. Still, we are content here. It feels like home in a way no other place ever has. Somehow this place fits our family–slightly askew, rough around the edges, in need of work but cozy, with great bones and plenty of heart.
I’ve not had the words to write all I’ve wanted to say today; the words keep getting tangled. Then, this evening Meredith showed me some of her photos from her walks around the lake, and I knew I didn’t need words–she perfectly captured my joy in her photography. The lake from Meredith’s lens says everything I wanted to say and more.
May our lives reflect the beauty evident in His creation as we begin this new season.
Blessings, y’all.
