The Shadow Proves the Sunshine

I love the lyrics from Switchfoot's song The Shadow Proves the Sunshine.

The last couple of months have proved to be a sad season in my life with the miscarriage and now having to put Gracie down.  

I realized this weekend though that God's mercies are new every day.  

The weekend was full of sunshine-y moments that warmed my heart.  

The first ray of light came Friday morning.  

Maddie and I have been volunteering at a Head Start with a couple of other ladies from church.  

We read books and do a few activities with the kids. 

There is nothing like a spontaneous hug from a 4-year-old to cast the shadows out of a darkened heart. 

I was still raw with emotion from the previous afternoon and I swear in that single, solitary moment I felt my heart mending.  

But the next day had even more mercies in store for me!  

I did a newborn session with the beautiful Maci Rose!  

Oh my...she was so precious.  What a blessing!

But then...

on Sunday...

the best ray of sunshine!  

My nephew Caleb was baptized!!

Congratulations buddy...welcome to the Kingdom : )  

You are so amazing, I can't wait to see what God has in store for you.
