There are times in life where I simply long to be more transparent and translucent with you, my friends, but also with myself. This is a window looking in where hopefully the glass is clear and recently cleaned so you can see into the deeper parts of me. Honesty, thoughts, expressions and articulations.
Don't you love how you can eat all the way around a Nectarine and not have to worry about a "butt" at the bottom of the piece of fruit. And have you ever paused and just looked at the colors that are so vividly alive within a Nectarine. They seemed to be painted by a similar artist who spreads color in sunsets. I like Nectarines.

I am a woman following Jesus. I care for the sick and those dying of cancer. I am a wife to a man who loves me deeper and more profoundly than any other. I am a daughter of a recovering alcoholic. I am a leader in the church given authority by Jesus to preach and disciple both men and women. I am a woman who loves to nurture things to grow. I am a woman putting roots into the ground as I tend and care for our new home. I am a woman dedicated to living in community. I am a woman. And, I recently became a mother to a little girl named Audrey Anne.

I do, too!
Nectarines always make me think about my dad. Maybe because he scorned peaches in favor of nectarines. I must have some strong memory of him choosing nectarines over peaches, because they are also my church and always make me think of my dad's love. (Weird logical leap, but true).
"they are also my church"
Huh???? Maybe I meant "choice."
musta been on crack when I posted. (or maybe too many nectarines?)
