Thank you, Kristin! I've missed you ;) Check out this review of his new album: it's gorgeous. "In “Javelin,” Stevens casts himself as Job, allowing his suffering to console those who follow him. He turns his pain into beauty and allows us to do the same. He invites us into the messiness of our humanity. It almost feels wrong to try to put the emotions of the album into words; it is something that can only be felt. “Javelin” is a reminder we will never love perfectly on this side of heaven. We must continue turning our face to God."

Wow--- so good! Thank you for sharing, Laura!

I definitely miss you on IG! I have been quietly following along with you still-- you are in my prayers! We just welcomed our 6th baby, Gladys, last month. Life is crazy! I look forward to everything you write and pray for you when I see your name pop up.

Hi Laura, I have to say, the fact that you "liked" my post Beauty Breaks Through just made my whole day. You are one of my favorite writers, so it is such an honour. Thank you.
