This is a carousel I shared on Instagram, but I felt like it deserved a place on my blog. So instead of trying to write a blog post based on a series of pictures, I did the efficient (lazy?) thing and just posted those pictures here.
Caption: I feel like I should be making videos for Instagram so I can prove it's just me here behind the scenes but I really don't want to start doing that! So I thought I'd start doing some carousels of some of the play in my life. All of these ways of playing form us, and it is a good God who forms us just as much through play as through study and contemplation and prayer. I will say that often my play actually does turn to contemplation because I am moved from play to joy to praise (and I would argue that all that IS prayer!)! That is why I will keep talking about contemplative play on here. I am in awe of a God who would allow me to find him in play, who gives me joy even in grief and hard days.
