🧵1/16

I grew up memorizing hundreds of Bible verses. I would write them on index cards to study them. I’d go through them one by one and see Ephesians 5:22-24 and immediately knew to say,
“Wives, submit yourselves to your own 2/16
husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now, as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.”

It’s been many years

Dog Epiphany: a photo series of the realization mirrors are a thing. Plus a story.

Photo 1: Raven, always with mom always, on the right watching mom see if she can pull off a 2XL sweater. She can. Next. Photo 2: Raven decides she approves and draws close for a kiss. The mirror is brand new so she hasn’t hung out with it. She mutters something under her breath about not judging folks who let their dogs kiss them too close to the mouth. Next.

From Me to Mommy

There was something very specific about feeling my only daughter have the hiccups while she was inside my body that made me study her. I had to, she was making ME uncomfortable.
There is an intimacy I have only found in motherhood. I felt it deeply start when my girl had relentless hiccups. Who knew? It wasn’t the kicks or feet outlined on my belly; her diaphragmatic spasms made me detail her motions.
I had to study what made her uncomfortable, as I was her comfort or discomfort. Mentally, I had one job.
