I really loved how you illustrated the relationship between April and Calendar. It was really creative, cute, but relatable! I am so sorry for your loss, and yes I'm still grieving over Mandisa.
Life's changing currents toss us around, but I thank God for His everlasting arms that carries us (Isaiah 46:3-4)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Merissa! And yes, thank you for your condolences--and we are going to be a little shaken by Mandisa's death for a while. That steadfast love will carry us through, indeed.
I understand the need for snow pack, but in the wet, dreary northwest, I'm tired of Winter (even though I spent part of winter elsewhere this year). As to contemplation, the "baby step" so far is to recognize the value of your reflection questions, and to begin brainstorming a possible story idea with a character who doesn't want to lose life's stories. Not quite the same.... but you never know how God will weave it all together. Unpredictable can be good, in that we do not know exactly * what * God will do next, only to Expect that He * will * do something. And we're welcome to be part of it.

Ooh, I'd love to see that story. Let me know what comes of it.
