As a fellow side-gig writer who went to school for education and never became a teacher, I really adore this piece 🥹 I’ll never get tired of hearing how the Lord works all things for our good and His glory!
Your words (and piano skills) are beautiful! Also I know have another copy of a beautiful Bible to add to my collection. Because photography + Scripture is my favorite combination. :)
Some might think writing or reading is unnecessary. I believe it’s a lifeline, a place to rest and revive, a light that survives the test of time and trial! Love this
Love hearing the story of Jack investing in the chair for your comfort, creativity, and creative writing that praises God’s power and grace. Well done!
I too have always had a special chair for all of my unnecessary things - and I’m so grateful God meets us there! And thank you for all of these beautiful resources - excited to check them out.
LOVE this story, love this thread, LOVE the unnecessary things! Have thought about that too in relation to writing (and honestly a lot of creativity) so this is beautiful to see it put into words.
🥹 Finished with tears because of 2 men (no, 3) in your life who were so generous with themselves for you. God is like that. He has placed you in this space for His good pleasure - this is how He designs family.
God has been SO good to you and this lavishness is a beautiful picture of who He is. That you take that awareness and give it right back to Him...🥹 this is worship.
This may very well be one of the most beautiful and touching posts I've ever read. Everything about it is life-giving. Alicia, I hope you are in a good place with your health. Saying a prayer for healing and gratitude for you. I'm glad you're here, in this space, reminding us to stay focused on what and who really matters. Blessings to you!

MY PEOPLE!!! Thank you Rachel.
It’s funny how many “unnecessary” things help us commune with God…
So true

It really is so pretty :)
I'm thinking I need to buy this too! Why be in regular psalms when you can be in immersive psalms?!
