abraham lincoln was the great emancipator.

oregon. god is amazing. god is absolutely breath-taking, amazing, beautiful, lovely, and i love that words fail me. today, one of my dearest friends is getting married, jacob stroop. david and i were very fortunate enough to be able to make it out here. and thank the lord. it is breath-taking here.

i love weddings. especially weddings of my best friends. its so joyous, fresh, and exciting. aly and jacob have been amazing. jacob has taken us in and over these past few days, i have just been in awe of friendship. i am so thankful for it. so thankful for loving community and other loving hearts. its so beautiful. being around friends is utterly indescribable. its the most comforting feeling i know, right now.

i have so many thoughts in my head right now, so many emotions, yet nothing is coming to mind. i bite my lip with anticipation and joy, but i cannot explain why. god is so beautiful. thank you jesus for community and nature. what an original you are...astounding.
