sweet laguna beach

 so here's the thing. 

laguna beach is special to me

not just because it's breathtakingly magic

or because it clothed in an adorable robe of cuteness

or even because it's famous or artsy

and has a bomb irish pub that kev and I spent last st Paddy's day at

my heart loves laguna because it's on those sands 

in big hats and floral dresses that i get to spend time with my friend Katie

you know those friends where you both share the same freckle on your heart? 

where you can verbalize your deepest struggles and
instead of people looking at you like you are one CRAZY lady

they instead grab your hands and cry ME TOO, ME TOO, I understand!

and something in you leaps, because you now find a common plane to process

and it's like the buckle clicks, and for the first time
 you are sharing the "same page" with someone else?

ya, that's the way it was this past Sunday in Laguna. 

I think know friends are one of God's greatest gifts. 

Abba uses friendships to bring us closer to Jesus, 

to stand together in the pain

and to jump for JOY in the exciting. 

friendship is sweetness and holiness
wrapped in the Father's embrace. 

lately i've been so thankful for you my bloggy readers. 

for your friendship, even if it's not conventional. 

it's still real and lovely after all. 

so I hope you know i'm am excited to get to know all of you more. 

so let's learn, and process and jump for sweet joy, and cry and laugh, and blog together.

together.

...and, since we are friends, i'm excited to share more about a hilarious favor I did for someone a few weeks ago. and if you know me, you will be baffled as to why they asked this of ME. trust me, it's funny stuff.....

so much love love love
