There is Life

March 25, 2012 by allisonbenotafraid

We’ve come together to celebrate our dear friend’s new baby, her very life and her entrance into the church. We’re all standing, singing a song of praise, as sunlight streams in through the stained glass windows. It’s a beautiful day, and being here, surrounded by friends, celebrating life, is like healing balm to my heart, my heart that within just a few short weeks has been made fuller by the promise of new life, and broken and chapped by the […]

March 22, 2012 by allisonbenotafraid

One of my favorite memories from when I was pregnant with John Paul is from just days after I’d discovered I was carrying our baby.  Mike and I were in Canada, visiting the hometown of a friend, and it was nighttime.  While everyone relaxed and chatted inside, we snuck outside to see the Canadian night sky our friend had told us so much about.  It was breathtaking.  Though the sky was black-the darkest I’d ever seen, with no intruding city […]

She’d worked with him on learning it, but it had taken some time. And though she knew he knew her, there was just something about it being made clear and concrete, through words, […]

A Little Change

March 7, 2012 by allisonbenotafraid

Sometimes, we just need a bit of a change, and this past week, John Paul and I have had just that as we’ve been living it up in Florida with my parents.  And for the most part, change sure agrees with us.  Just check this kid out, would you? This is a kid who has been brought to new heights of wonder and joy, just because of a little change of pace, a little change of routine, and a little change of scenery. All week […]

March 4, 2012 by allisonbenotafraid
