Here we are

Internet,

It has been a long few weeks and you have been left by the wayside.
Due to my emotional liability, you may be left again for an undisclosed amount of time.
(exactly how long does it take for antidepressants to kick in anyway?)....just kidding (I think)

I've seen birth and death in just a few short weeks (literally). I've laughed with friends and family, I've cried in the darkness of the night and prayed. I've watched my young son bloom under the direction of his dad. I've watched my daughter reap the rewards of working hard, leaving her beaming. I've cleaned my house in a manic fashion and I've given birth to four nursing exams and this Monday I will add my fifth (trust me...each one is like a mini pregnancy complete with weight gain and cravings and insomnia).

I have so much to share with you and some AMAZING pictures to go with it, but time is a rare commodity in my life right now and so you must patiently wait.

Six more weeks and I'm yours. (just try and hide your excitement!).

Until then,

xoxo, ~Raine

I'm in love

with rust

My hunk o'burning love

took this photo

in an old barn

I "heart" barns

especially old

rusty

crusty

barns

Yeah, I know

I'm weird

but my family

(dear sweet family)

has learned to

embrace it

The singing in

the house

with the hairbrush

as a microphone...

not so much.

defriended.

Last Good Friday,I posted a picture like this on facebook

I was "defriended" by some of my "friends"

Surprisingly, I'm o.k. with it.

Because even though I love people
and even though my heart hurt over being defriended

The cross
is.worth.it

and even if in the end
I stand alone

I know
that I never will be
alone

and if you choose
to stand there too

at the foot of the cross

you will never be
alone

Instead you will be
filled

With a feeling that I can not describe
No words would do it justice

and perhaps....
this is how it should be


Be blessed Internet and Encourage
~Raine~
