Collecting wildflowers with the kids last week, before the entire outdoors of Sonoma County were closed for business too. This picture is a good reminder of the sweet spring blooms springing up, without regard for pandemics or economic upheaval. The Lord is on His throne, whether I feel it or not. And these wildflowers will bloom, whether I witness it or not. Remember. Remember. Remember.

I think it's time I let you in on this: I have a BIG question. And I need your help answering it. "Do you think conscious thought is possible without language?" I've been researching this topic and it's kind-of been taking over my life. I run every new experience through it. How can I understand things, and how can my brain interpret its meaning, without language? What is the language I DO use to interpret the world around me? What do you think? Am I missing something? What is your philosophy? Please help. I'm getting lost in my brains... . . . #language #consciousthought #linguisticquestions #philosophicalquestions #linguistics #philosophy #writer #writersofinsta #writersofig #nonfiction #hopewriters #christianwriter #God #Jesus #Christ #Bible #resilient #resilience #everydayresilience #everydayresilienceinchrist #bounceback #resurrectionpower #bettertogether #encouragement #keepgoing #youcandohardthings #selfhelp #stephlenox

Be happy on Valentine's Day: buy someone else flowers. An aunt. A neighbor. A mom. The pity-party-of-one quickly dissipates when you decide to celebrate someone else, throwing them a party of appreciation in your small gesture. Try it out! You will feel so much better. Promise. . . . #valentinesday #outwardfocused #loveothers #writer #writersofinsta #writersofig #nonfiction #hopewriters #christianwriter #God #Jesus #Christ #Bible #resilient #resilience #everydayresilience #everydayresilienceinchrist #bounceback #resurrectionpower #bettertogether #encouragement #keepgoing #youcandohardthings #selfhelp #stephlenox

Kids are fighting and scrapping inside. Motherhood is intense with a 3-year-old pushing all the boundaries. I stepped out back to get just. one. minute. And the sky met my weary gaze like, "Yeah, I get it. Here are some dusky colors and sharp contrasting silhouettes. I hope it helps." . . . #thanks #ithelps #sunset #writer #writersofinsta #writersofig #nonfiction #hopewriters #christianwriter #God #Jesus #Christ #Bible #resilient #resilience #everydayresilience #everydayresilienceinchrist #bounceback #resurrectionpower #bettertogether #encouragement #keepgoing #youcandohardthings #selfhelp #stephlenox
