ITROW-- enough eggs

Look at this picture, and then read this.

This is quite possibly one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. Written so eloquently and perfectly. I had fallen behind in my journaling months ago, and I do not know that I would have remembered this later to write it down. But it overtakes me now. I know He has a hand in our lives. I am so thankful.

notes on the image, as it pertains to the project ITROW: I photographed these eggs because baking/cooking kitchen is central for many women in the world. Growing up myself, and for many I know, the kitchen is a gathering place for family. Also, I knew after reading Carolyn's words, that I needed to commemorate for myself that experience. The dish they are in was a 25-cent garage sale purchase. Just the cutest little 50's-era ramekin. I don't have it anymore, seeing as it was broken while doing the dishes, but for me, so much in this image shows parts of my life-- garage sale-ing instead of brand new so we can be frugal and more generous in our offerings, eggs to remember God loves me, the background from my BFA to remind me that I need to consciously be searching for true beauty that is not lost in translation. This might be my favorite picture I took in 2008.
