This made me cry, but in a way that's good for my heart. I read this letter originally last Advent, and between last Advent and now my husband and I decided to stop trying to conceive. Like Instagram Girl, our baby will likely never come. So now we turn our waiting to "await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ"

Regina, that's a heavy, heavy cross. I'm so glad you're here. I'll be thinking of you extra this holiday season--I know it's an incredibly difficult time for people with this particular burden. ❤️

Just me here wiping the tears away from my eyes to tell you that you are correct, Jimmy Stewart is a hottie.

(And serious as that hotness issue is, I'm printing this out to hold onto. I've lately been thinking about the definition of "hope," what that looks like in faith... especially when measurable results are not a thing). But the redwoods! My heart!

I am a new-ish paid subscriber, so I had missed this letter. I'm very thankful you resent it! A very good reminder when the world feels so heavy.
