It Was Write

April 4, 2012 By Caroline TeSelle


My first post on this blog was a little over five years ago.

Much like Ruth’s quote above, I had to write. This blog was my outlet. A place to share my random thoughts and family events with family members and friends spread out across the country.

The month leading up to Nester’s Girls Weekend Sleepover, I was close to throwing in the towel with my blog. I had lost perspective and wasn’t content with this place where I communicate with you. I wondered if there was anyone out there reading?

I was caught up in the “WHO” and had lost focus of the “WHY”.

The friends gathered at Nester’s that weekend helped me remember the “WHY” – it was write!

Write so I wouldn’t forget.
Write for fun.
Write to share my random moments.
Write to share my photography.
Write to encourage others.
Write to share the good, bad & ugly.

Thank you Nester, Hayley, Maggie, Ellen, Emily & Tracey. Thank you for helping me remember “It Was Write”.

You are the joy that was set before him. ⁣

Jesus endured the cross for us and considered it joy. ⁣

How can we experience true joy? Joy that outlasts the turmoil of 2020? Joy that surpasses all understanding? Joy that isn’t stolen by a diagnosis? One answer: Jesus. ⁣
⁣
May your true joy be made more complete this Christmas by remembering what Jesus has done for you.

Four days ago, I quoted the comforting words of @s Four days ago, I quoted the comforting words of @shellymillerwriter as I was contemplating the past three weeks of healing for Eden’s hip surgery. ⁣
⁣
Shelly passed away on Sunday night. Please click over to her profile and read her husband’s words about her passing...“As we grieve, we do so with hope.”⁣
⁣
Today, as I drive northwest to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN for another round of follow-up appointments, Shelly’s words continue to be a balm to my soul...⁣
⁣
“When all the ways in which we find our identity have been stripped away, we stand like barren branches in a posture of surrender awaiting God’s next move.⁣
⁣
“Our purpose is to glorify God, not by doing more for him but simply being with him; trusting God rather than trusting in circumstances lining up.⁣
⁣
“Our greatest certainty in life is God’s presence and help.”⁣
⁣
I’m clinging to that certainty today. Thank you, Shelly. Rest well.
“It is when we are at rest that we hear the voic “It is when we are at rest that we hear the voice of God echoing over our worry.” @shellymillerwriter⁣
⁣
The echoes of God have been loud and clear during the past three weeks since Eden’s surgery. The echoes of prayers. The echoes of friendship. The echoes of healing. Worry has not held a place here and we are extremely thankful. 💛
