Here's to Kevlar

We've come a long way, Christian.


From rather awkward friends...

to miles apart and trying our best to stay in touch...

to writing letters by the page-load....

....now to here - still miles apart - but closer than ever.

What a work of God.

He's healed me. And you. And blessed us with each other after all.

He's taught me how to trust again, and more importantly how to trust in Him.


The fun we have together is nothing like I could have imagined it being. The sacrifices we both make joyfully for one another - also unimaginable till i saw for myself.


Where did He find you for me? How long has he known we'd be making each other so happy today?

Some questions are okay unanswered ;)

Thanks for the times together, calls each day, prayers for us, and the many smiles.


I miss you a lot, but I know you're only a phone call away, or a few hours on the road - and that's quite enough to keep me going.

Phil 1.3
"I thank my God every time I remember you."

yours truly,
Molly Marie

[a friend just asked me in passing: "Describe your ideal man in three words." I imediately wanted to be funny and said "Christian David Jenkins, of course!" then we continued to talk about actual attributes. Just another one of those affirming conversations that keeps me smiling even without you here: saying things that I know would make you laugh even, in your absence. Don't get a big head, now. Just smile for me.]

The future is terrifying.

Sometimes just thinking about what's ahead makes my stomach weak.
What's out there for me?
What isn't?
How will I even know where to begin?


In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord detrmines his steps.
Proverbs 16.9

The places, the things, the people that I love...
Will they always be near me -- will I always be close to what I feel is most comfortable?

...say to those with fearful hearts,
"Be strong, do not fear;
your God will come,
he will come with a vengeance; with divine retribution
he will come and save you."
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
Isaiah 35:4,10b


Whatever the future holds, whether smooth or tough, long or short, near or far -- God will be my comfort and He has promised to go before me and prepare the way.


Though my flesh and my heart may fail, God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Ps 73.26

Here's to Family

Hello, sweet family.

I wish I could say that in person a whole lot more than I've been able to this year.

I cherish each and everyone of you more than you'll ever know.

Remember this picture, guys? I can remember that entire trip to vividly in my mind.

I'll never love anyone or anything like I love you all.

Ever.

Happy Tuesday, Family. I'm thinking about you and praying for each of you.

Here's to the Weekend

Fall is Lovely.

But what makes it even lovlier is falling with your friends.

Seeing the sunset can blow your mind.

But what good is a mind blown without friends to peice it back together.

Here's to you, Fall. And here's to you, Friends.

I love you dearly.

Here's to Today

I've been asked before which would I rather not lose, my eyesight or my hearing? That got me thinking just how much I take for granted - this gift I've been given to see this gorgeous world around me. Not only the gorgeous stuff, but the not-so-gorgeous stuff too - just knowing that God created it all and has a purpose for it all...oh my.

So here's to the all the things I notice as an artist -
And here's to all the things I miss cause I'm too bust focusing on other things.


Without any more awkward intro, I want to share my photography and my thoughts about why it means anything at all...



Enjoy.

This handsome young man would be Daniel. "Stew" as I lovingly call him.

Nothing stops him.

He's my hero.

Little brother and his love for everything he can't quite see.

More to come. Yours truly,

Molly[Mae]
