heart things + january frames

(a collection of photos from snow days in january) 

sometimes my heart is so quiet it scares me.
my head is swirling with so many thoughts, inspiration and plans, but my heart feels so so quiet.
i've never been good with words, but i've always been able to make them come.
i know what it is to feel. and then write what i feel, even if it isn't poetry or filled with eloquent metaphors.
but, lately- even that's gone.

they say every heart goes through seasons. maybe it's winter in mine right now.
maybe it's okay.  (because spring always comes after winter.)

"While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease." 

-Genesis 8: 22

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

january was a month for reading new books, cherishing the simple, large cups of tea, adding twinkle lights to your room, and long messy journal entries.
it was finding God's faithfulness once again.
it was realizing sometimes even words are enough.
it was learning it's okay to be quiet. (be still my soul.)

here i am, six days into february. with only nine more days of being fifteen left.
two words: excited. terrified.

016. board games with the sister before bed.

take me downtown | orgeon

(these were taken over our trip to oregon in november)

oregon was filled with so much laughter- the kind that brings tears to your eyes and an ache in your stomach- the good kind. it was filled with dorky hats, nicknames, happy songs, inside jokes, a Christmas music concert, and shameless late night selfies . 

(i think that last photo kinda describes us)

we spent one afternoon having a girl's day out with the aunts and cousins, thrifting, coffee-ing, and walking through the shops downtown. (seriously, old vintage shops are my *cue dorcas lane voice* one weakness. )

I am so excited to be doing a Project 365 with Delight this year. I've been wanting to do it for the last two years, and this year it's actually happening.

Are you doing a Project 365 this year? (If you are, I'd love to see the link where you are posting them!)
