"'So much of our adult lives are spent marking the traditional milestones you hear about your whole life — engagements, marriages, babies, first homes,' Ms. Bart, 43, said. 'For women who aren’t partnered, there’s often no external occasion prompting this kind of celebration, so creating one yourself is a genuine declaration of self-worth.'"
This totally misunderstands why we celebrate the milestones. Having a child or getting married isn't in any way a "declaration of self-worth" nor is that the thing that really needs declaring. Weddings and baby showers and baptisms are celebrations of the formation of the most essential building block of society: the family. And there is a somber element, a seriousness to these things: Our community is called together to recognize that they must see us through the good times and the hard ones. (That's part of why people gravitate toward churches to mark these milestones, even if they're not believers.) Life isn't just a series of aesthetic pursuits. Please believe that it is so much more than that.

Today, this song, “One Day Closer,” is shared with the world. I can’t help but think of sweet Calla squealing over every bit of this from Heaven! Every day is one day closer. So hopeful for how this song will serve hurting hearts needing the hope of Heaven just like it has ours!
I have watched this video in its entirety multiple times every single time it has shown up in my timeline. It truly gives me so much motivation & inspiration. God bless this woman and her family.
"I learned that true faith is not formed in an echo chamber, but in a stew of thought-provoking voices that aren’t afraid to challenge your arguments as an act of worshiping the same God together."
