One year ago we were very happy to see the house taking shape
and looking forward to getting it closed in for the winter.
Every new stage had it's own excitement.
I look back now and realize we were in a different world,
no idea how many things would change.
In saying so, I have to say it's been a year in which we've faced
many joys and good surprises.
We've also faced hard and unusual things,
disappointments and fears.
We all have.
I believe that we have had to learn not too think that we know
what will happen.
Seasons in a new home take on new views as well.
I see the dining room from the kitchen and
continually my eyes fix on the beauty just outside the window.
God's art displayed.
His faithfulness in the seasons.
There is something about them
that allows me to rest in His promises.
And my heart fills with gratitude for all the good I've been given
even in a time of questions, things I don't like,
and unexpected events.
These are my window views
into the beauty of this season.

I think that beauty heals and restores us and is such a powerful gift from our loving God.
Beautiful views and beautiful words, too. So much to learn in these seasons of life.
You have such a beautiful home to enjoy. And I enjoy the variety of pictures you post. It has been a while since you posted some of your fashion flare - looking forward to that too! You have such a good eye for decorating and fashion, you are an inspiration!
