Our last 6 months: a whirlwind of winter & spring & now summer all mixed together, of uncertainty and sadness but also joy, of newborns becoming babies and toddlers becoming little boys, gardens filling with green, and how has Matthias already graduated kindergarten?
As I assembled these images, I noticed throughout the colour yellow. Yellow as in sunshine, yellow as in misty streetlights on sheltering windows, yellow as in flowers standing brave in the rain and trees putting out shoots of life. I remembered particularly in the difficult haze of March and April, home so much of the time with three little ones and no end in sight, the hopefulness that yellow brought me, and how it reminded me of God’s great faithfulness even in hard times.
A verse someone sent us at the beginning of Covid, that I scribbled on a paper and taped to the wall: “Let us know, let us press on to know the Lord. His going out is as sure as the dawn; He will come to us as the showers, as the spring returns to the earth.” Hosea 3:6
