be more like the man you were made to be

love, it will not betray you
dismay or enslave you
it will set you free
be more like the man you were made to be

bring forth and sprout

-

-

These words are full of hope today:
-
"For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven

and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it."
(Isaiah 55:10-11)

blizzards in february

-
There is a blizzard here and we have the day off from school, so I have blessedly slept in this morning, enjoyed a quiet brunch in my room (tea + cantaloupe + my mother's homemade apple bread), and spent a while catching up on the internet world. I am still in my PJs and I feel all cozy and warm as I look out my window at the gusting winds and snow. Days like this make me like winter just a little bit.

And here is a bit of mid-winter clothing inspiration, which I always seem to need come February when I've tried every new combination possible within the limits of my closet collection . . . and when there is still two more months of winter. All from Steven Alan.
