i believe.

i believe in life, and living it abundantly. [john 10:10]
i believe in the importance of both celebrations and creativity.
i believe all it takes to be happy is a baseball game and some really good chicken fingers.
i believe in choosing optimism, every day, every season, every moment.
i believe that cold tangerines is the best book around. [thanks, shauna niequist!]
i believe life is better when lived whimsically. [confetti, yellow balloons, dessert first, etc.]
i believe in true, hard, deep friendships with lots of laughter.
and mostly, i believe in the one true God, who loves us more than we will ever know.

(in case you were wondering, things i do not believe in include selfies, sushi, waking up early, and using capital letters.)
