Peaceful
This time last year I spent a lot of time alone under the stars. When I lost my mama I felt the like night sky was a safe place for the rawness of my grief. I pressed my face into the chest of God here and wept. The stars never wavered. They were a sign of God’s constant love in a season that was too bitter to bear.
Hence the stars will always be a bittersweet reminder to me of sorrow and the nearness of God in my brokenness. I miss my mom so much.
I am so grateful for the stars and for God’s great and steadfast love. He is so kind.
My post is brief tonight as I have hurt my back and need to rest.
Blessings my friends. xoxo

I have come back to read some of your posts as I loved them. I’m so sorry for the pain and loss you experienced with your Mum’s passing, but grateful for the beauty and realness in that which you have captured in many of your photos and reflections pointing to God’s beauty in the midst. If you’re tempted to think people haven’t posted any comments and to take them down – I’m glad you left them there and you may never know how many people have read them and found encouragement. May God continue to bless you in your writing, photograpy and all of life .
Thank you so much
Hi Maryanne, my name is Audra. Like the comment above I too come back frequently to your site to reread some of your beautiful postings. Through many seasons of my life your writings and glorious photos have blessed me. I too am in a season of grief and loss right now. I lost my very best and bosom friend this past summer. Your words and the reminders of Gods faithfulness are such a balm. Please know that what you have written and posted here is enduring and continues to be a beacon of light and love to those who find it.
Audra, thank you for your kindness. I pray that you feel the tangible embrace of your Father God during this season of grief. Blessings, Mary Anne.
