There’s this little secret to happiness, and it’s not a good one. I mean, it’s good, because it means happiness. But it isn’t good in the way you’re thinking, considering I usually think in terms of pink pants or leopard print cupcake wrappers, because this is a little bit of hard-work happiness.
The kind of soul-weary-but-I’m-still-smiling happy. Deep-reserve-of-love sorta happy.
Able-to-give-happily-and-without-any-impulse-to-hold-on-to-things-myself happy.
It’s good stuff.
Hard to come by.
Because it comes with a price.
The price of our pride.
The secret to that kind of deep happiness?
Submission.
I just whispered that, because it’s a tough word to say. A tough word to swallow.
A tough word to live.
It is a strange paradox that submission gives us freedom.
And freedom in Christ?
That’s some crazy-deep-happiness.
That’s some crazy-deep-happiness.

Chartreuse and hounds-tooth, say that 10 times fast.
Love you sister, this is lovely.
LOVE this outfit! I'm loving that color for some reason – anything that seems like an awkward shade of green right now – I feel like I need it. Why?!
Heart you, Claire!
