Of all the things i’m learning,
this is the least important to my overall spiritual development as a person.
I am learning to just LOOK AT MY HORRIBLE PICTURES AND REALIZE ITS OKAY BECAUSE SOMETIMES I JUST LOOK LIKE THAT.

This looks like a school picture but its worse because a professional photographer at Intervarsity’s Orientation for New Staff took it and Becky’s looks SO cute and its on her IV website and mine looks like this.
So HEY. sometimes i look like that.
But also, i realized that just because i’m single doesn’t mean i have to miss out on taking pictures on photobooths…….. except that maybe its obvious that i tried this like a million times.

Yes. thats me. taking pictures. bymyself.
but the thing i am learning that probably is most significant for my spiritual development for the rest of my life is that Jesus is so, completely, everything I need because he knows my deepest place of longing, despair, and loneliness and satisfies it sufficiently, perfectly.
