Description:THIS IS MY SPOT! I love to sit in this window. This is where I come to get away from everything...to gather my thoughts....just to be with ME! I read here,I pray here,I cry here,and I shut the world out so I can enjoy a little serenity, if only for a little while.
This proves I could NEVER be an architect. This window is SO far from straight and even, but it will have to do.The color of the PP behind the window is actually the color of my living room. I have azaleas all across the front, but the Primas will have to stand in. My window treatment IRL is made of gauze, not lace, but you get the idea.
"Sometimes you have to climb a mountain to see the beautiful view."
my journaling:
Oh how I love my bay windows! This is one of two that opens the world to my living room. Being on the front of my home, I get to watch the world pass me by as I sit in my favorite antique chair, just dreaming. This chair has become my friend. Sitting in it, I love to gaze out and watch the neighborhood children at play, as well as storms brewing up from the west. Oh yes, I can see everything from this view! This is where I also love to sit to read my Bible, and pray….God knows I’ve called on Him a lot from this chair. When I look up at the sky, I can almost see a sign that he’s listening, as the clouds roll on by. What an advantage point have I!
Through this window, I am able to see a perfect view of “my world” too. Like the weeping willow that I love to hang white lights in at Christmas, and the flowers that are planted that the hummingbirds hover around. Looking out this window for the past 13 yrs has opened my eyes to many things; mostly joyful, but there have also been many tears. I will never forget sitting in this chair, looking out this window, for 3 solid weeks….not wanting to move in fear of missing Frankie driving down the street coming back home after he ran away. Those were the hardest 3 wks I have ever spent in my life.. My heart was broken. I completely understood why he felt he had to do this….but God it hurt so bad! I know we won’t ever forget the”whys”, but at least we have moved past this now.
When Carson rode the school bus, I could watch him all the way down our street. I could always tell what kind of day he had by whether he walked or ran. If he was late, that usually meant he stopped to throw a few passes with the football with our neighbor.
Well, I’m still sitting here! Sara is now driving and I’m watching for her to turn that corner also! I really worry about her because she has this fascination with speed. But even when a date is bringing her home, I’m watching for them to come down our street. I guess I just worry too much!!! I just can’t imagine my world without my children in it. So I will continue enjoying this view, and thanking God everyday for all the many blessings he has given me. What a wonderful view to “my world”~
