The highest, most bittersweet honor of my calligraphy journey has been this ...

See you again soon, baby girl. I can't wait to see your mommy and daddy and big brother hold you again -- this time, in glory. 💛

Photos from her beautiful mama
#prayers4em

Didn't have a chance to honor my mama yesterday, so wanted to love on her a little here today. 💛 For more than half my life, I didn't understand my mama. I loved her, but I didn't understand her. And I'll probably never fully grasp the effects that trauma had on her mothering, but even in her most agonizing moments, she never left us. She was always there.
.
I don't know anyone who has given more, sacrificed more, suffered more in silence on behalf of her family than my mom. She is also the most hospitable woman I know. No matter who you are, she will house you and feed you...and feed you again...and feed you again. 😂
.
She wasn't a woman of faith for most of my life, but I'm so grateful to have had the front row seats to God's work in her heart. I'm thankful He isn't finished with her yet. 💛
.
She used to tell me that she hopes we grow up to be friends. 32 years later, I can finally say -- she is not only my mama but my friend, my hero. 💕
.
I love you, umma!

Throwback song. Been on my mind a lot lately. 🎶

Had such a fun time today at #calligrafair2017! I was so nervous the first part of my demo that all my hairlines had tremors in them 😆 but felt more comf by the end 😁💕

First photo is with fellow demo-ers (missing @simplebc!) and second photo is with my #calligrasistas 💛💛

I debated whether or not to publicize this. While I'm honored to have my first article published at @desiringgod, a published article is hardly something to celebrate when it comes from such deep pain. So I thought I'd just let people find it as they might. But then I remembered those of you who commented and sent me emails and DMs during my #tjkwholeinchrist series this past winter. Those of you from broken homes, still hurting and looking for wholeness. So I share this with you from my heart, praying you might find a friend who has walked through your same fears and found hope -- and God-willing, it will only be the start of an ongoing conversation. 💛
