where in the world, in all this world, is God?
I want to cup their faces, look into their eyes. What are you doing here? You were not made for this. I am no better and I don’t know why I wasn’t born here, why my children weren’t born here and we all could have been. We all could have been.
Child, we are next door neighbours, you and I, and I am next to you, and there are no miles between who I am and who you are and you are my mirror, a manifestation of my soul and all my righteousness is far filthier than your rags and I can feel it in my gut — the haunting ache of my own poverty of spirit — echoing, echoing.
…
I fill each cup to the rim for children living on the rim. I fill a cup that looks like the basin for a small blender. I swallow hard. I fill a cup that is a white cowboy boot with a spur. My heart can feel it’s forcing sharpness. Get moving God! Do Something! Move your people! Wake up! Wake up! Come riding!

The mother in the slum whose little girl has gone missing. The twelve year old prostitute pregnant by a sweaty stranger. The boy who’s father, possessed by addiction, beats him every night. The girl who picks through trash for breakfast. The student whose stomach growls for days before being filled. These are blessed not because physical poverty is good – it is evil – but because their poverty has shaken them to the end of their rope, into spiritual poverty. Dependent, they fling their fears and needs onto God’s shoulders. Hopeless and helpless, they come to Him alone for daily bread/Bread.
They dwell in and on Him forever and want for nothing.

Savannah weekend adventure: best of
for this long weekend we snuck away to the coolest, closest city i’d never been to. living in florida you can tend to feel a little trapped as far as quick adventures and new scenery go - but this 6 hour drive was well worth it.
as for planning, it was kinda a last minute trip we embarked on so i tried to just broadcast a request for must-see places, and with the help of a few awesome friends and my trusty old iphone we found a few. other than that, most of these shops & restaurants we just happend upon during our wanderings.
here are a few snapshots of my favorite places [& things] in savannah.
- SHOP: the paris market
beautifully curated shop of old vintage treasures and new goodies too (the website doesnt come close to the shop experience) - SHOP: savannah bee company
this was one of my absolute favorite places but i might be biased since honey is one of my top ten loves. - SHOP: scad shop
beautiful work from highly talented scad students and alumni. just wish i had much more money in my budget for beautiful things. - FOOD: moon river brewery
yummy ipa. great rocking chairs out front - perfect for people watching. - SHOP: one fish two fish
cute boutique store. - FOOD: vinnie van go-go’s pizza
some of the best pizza ever. - FOOD: marlin monroe’s on tybee island.
right on the beach. yummy crab legs. awesome waitress. - FOOD: b matthews eatery
unfortunately the wait was a bit too long for my taste - but the food was good in the end. - FOOD: pecan pralines.
nothing words can express :) - MUSEUMS: unfortunately during the holiday weekend all museums were closed
- PARKS: loved all the parks throughout the historic district. makes such a difference in a person’s mood just to be able to sit in the shade and watch life go by :)
with so many amazing things to see [& eat] i must say my favorite thing about this trip was the boy who took me to all these yummy places. it’s been a little over 4 years since our first trip together and i’m so thankful for the man that God has given me to be my husband, friend and ultimate adventure seeker!
