J-U-L-Y

We’ve had weeks of connection and it has been sweet to have a summer in the Midwest with our families. July Fourth is very well-celebrated in Jon’s family and this year, we joined our loud voices into the party. Perspectives have changed for us and I felt more thankful this year for what America represents for it’s citizens. Though it seems on shifting sands, there are freedoms and opportunities that make me want to lay down and grasp two fistfuls of carpet like grass, inhaling a country I can’t appreciate enough for what God has given us.

I never knew moving out of the country would increase my patriotism.
