In the Rough

This week at i ♥ faces the theme was texture. When I think about texture, the first thing that comes to mind is something rough or coarse. Something that you can really feel and maybe even rubs you the wrong way. It seems like everyday my life is filled with different textures. Bad things, things like fussy kids or failing at things I want to do well at...and good things, like good quality time with my family, a sunny day, or knowing that Scripture verse was meant just for you.

There are so many new and interesting things I'm learning, so much about the wife and mother and woman I want and need to be. There is so much about me that needs to be smoothed out, humbled, or maybe even roughed up a little. I don't want to get to a stopping point where I don't want to get any better, or don't think I need to get any better. I want to keep improving, changing, having my eyes opened, stretching and growing...in every aspect, from marriage and motherhood to photography. No one likes being uncomfortable. But when I look at it through the promise that I'll come out better on the other side, I'll take the texture, even if it may be a little rough.
