The things I'll miss the most
Our mailman. Oh I will miss him so! He walked our adoption journey with us and cried the first time he saw our baby girl. He gets out of his truck to bring me the mail that he knows will make me cry and gives me a hug after he does so. He stops to talk if we run into each other outside of our neighborhood. He is a gem.
The warm spring days that are the only summer we get here.
Watching our maples turn from green and bushy to a thinning orange tree then only to watch it happen all over again next year.
My beautiful hardwood floors my wonderful husband put in for us.
My kitchen. Oh this kitchen!
My neighbors.
The playroom.
My pink laundry room.
My mailman.
The birds in the trees who wake me up each morning.
My bedroom which I call my treehouse. The windows Mike put in a few years ago make it look like we sleep in the top boughs of the trees outside and the walls are painted this soothing blue that just melts my stress.
My stove.
The front yard that our neighbors call "The Sanctuary" and that it is from Spring until Fall.
The corner store down the street.
The sound of the ocean the night before a big storm comes in.
You are good, You are good
When there's nothing good in me
You are love, You are love
On display for all to see
You are light, You are light
When the darkness closes in
You are hope, You are hope
You have covered all my sin
You are peace, You are peace
When my fear is crippling
You are true, You are true
Even in my wandering
You are joy, You are joy
You're the reason that I sing
You are life, You are life,
In You death has lost its sting
Oh, I’m running to Your arms,
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign
You are more, You are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord, You are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here, You are here
In Your presence I'm made whole
You are God, You are God
Of all else I'm letting go
Oh, I’m running to Your arms
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign
My heart will sing
no other Name
Jesus, Jesus
Oh, I’m running to Your arms
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign
