So, I'm sitting on the couch tonight thinking about giraffes. I love giraffes. They are, in fact, my favorite animal. Well, giraffes and dogs.
A few years back I had the chance to visit Africa and see giraffes up close in their own environment. I still remember what an amazing experience it was to watch them run across the field in the sunset. You would think a running giraffe wouldn't work. However, they seem to have the hang of it. They looked so graceful. Very picture perfect. When I first moved to Texas I visited the local zoo here in town. They had a baby giraffe at the time named Gus. Gus was maybe only a couple of months old at the time, but he was still so neat to watch.
I feel like Gus right now. I feel like my legs are wobbly and that I'm learning to stand on my own (again). I feel awkward. I feel like I'm trying to make sense of a lot right now and take it all in and make good choices and figure things out. And in this process, I feel so tired. I know there is hope, though. Hope is always there. It's just hard.
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

Right on Romans 5:5! What a beautiful verse!
I love this post, but most of all Lyndsey I love you! You may feel like Gus right now, but I know that you'll soon look like those graceful giraffes in Kenya! You'll run with the best of 'em.
I enjoyed sitting near you while chipping away the waterslides today! And who knows, maybe we'll get another chance to do that soon! (Because they're definitely not done!) Love you!
