I thought it would be fun to take some time for a few posts in the coming days 
to simply take a look back at some old favorite photos of you and

Anna has been working on a senior project choreographing dances to two songs, and I got to see her run through of them in the studio yesterday. We were brainstorming where we will film the final dances and thought about a spot on UW campus and a spot by the Arboretum, so I charted my run this morning to be able to scout them out for her.  grassy area near UW-- while we don't want to have the  random vehicle there, we hope that we can use this spot!  beautiful grassy area by Lake WA near the Arboretum  This whole idea of scouting a place out reminded me of this verse from Deuteronomy 31:8 that says, "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."  May you know that God does indeed go before you in your life, and may this bring you peace, comfort, and hope for the days ahead.

As you look ahead to things getting more and more "back to normal," I am praying for you to have this "glory-strength" to stick it out for the long haul. Just like the picture I shared with you the other day from the Jesus Storybook Bible , may you turn to God and run to Him with everything that comes your way with this strength God give you.  p.s.  Verse 12 is good to take with you too:  "It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he has for us."

Today is your birthday eve, so I decided to take a look back at all the posts I have written over the last 13 weeks and look for themes and ways that I have sensed God's blessing over you during this time.  First of all, I had to make sure to give you an update on a post I wrote on March 9th when I was writing a bit about some of my issues that I have had with my blood pressure for the last 4-5 months. I am not sure if your parents told you, but I met with an endocrinologist at the end of March who spent an hour over Zoom trying to figure out what the underlying cause could be. She happened to ask me if I ate a lot of licorice to which I responded "no," but then a light bulb went off in my mind as I thought about all the tea that I drink that does indeed have licorice root in it. After that, I stopped drinking that kind of tea, and my blood pressure has gone back to normal. As a way to thank this doctor, I took a care package to her office with this silly costume to ackno...
