I come from a land where magical things happen if you stand still in one spot long enough...specifically 2 things. One: you will be swathed with kudzu faster than most people can correctly pronounce Tchefuncte. Two: you will be dripping with Spanish moss.

I happen to like kudzu covered things and Spanish moss drenched things too. So, if either of these fates come to you, it is not a deal breaker here. I'll take your picture and share it with the world more than likely. Especially if some rusty part of you is peeking through, or you have graceful limbs reaching skyward.

Like this lovely thing...

What's your favorite? Just so I know in case you decide to stand still too long.

I love Spanish moss too. Of course I was always told not to touch it because it has bugs. HA!

My favorite is your first edit. It adds such depth to it.

and this is my blog, The Better Part!

I’m looking for encouragement everyday. I think we all are! So here’s my offering to you: encouragement in wholeheartedly pursuing your unique calling and purpose that comes out of a vibrant relationship with Jesus. Women who are loving others out of this kind of life in Christ are changing the world! Sharing our stories connects us. That connection is like deep calling to deep and iron sharpening iron.

So many of us miss opportunities to extend the love of Christ by missing moments of our ordinary days that are the real and better part. Jesus encourages us to forget about fussing over things that do not matter and take hold of what cannot be taken away, and that thing that cannot be taken is a vibrant, thriving, authentic life in Him. So let’s live fully alive and purposed in all of life!

Luke 10:41,42 "...you’re fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing. One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it—it’s the main course, and won’t be taken from her.”
