{ineffable}
Today's guest in this space reserved for the celebration of words is a human born more concerned for the skin of others than her own. She is a listener. Huge hearted & patient, she believes in team far above self. Constant in the pursuit of helping and encouraging, you will see her moving with such a light about her.
I think what I love best about this individual is her calm, irrefutable strength. She carries you. And you are completely unaware that she does. She possesses a certain flawlessness. I think it comes from living out what God gifted most precious inside her: KINDNESS.
This contributing author, like her Mama, exhales her greatest breathes behind the scenes. She's the text message you need on those days that only she remembers as your hard ones. She's that silly conversation where you can't stop laughing and don't even know why.
She is my sister, and one of my best friends. Like one massive bulldozer, countless are the times she's scooped me up. In some of my dreariests and scariests , she's held my hand and SHOWN UP. Her footsteps are love in action time & again. Completely thankful and so very blessed are each that know her and are fortunate enough to call her theirs. Just ask and they'll gladly tell you.
Please make welcome my sister-in-law, Kristi Prince, to the blog.
As a terrible communicator, I am often at a loss for words. Words to clearly express what I'm feeling, what I'm seeing, even words to help others feel better, build them up, or even just to let them know exactly how I feel about them.
Words do not come easy for me. I can’t even argue well. I have sincere and clear passion about these ideas housed in my head, but my mind simply takes a hold of them, turns the spin cycle on and all my thoughts are a jumbled hot mess. This is ah-noy-innnng!
{Ineffable} \i-ˈne-fə-bəl\
- Incapable of being expressed
- Too great or intense to be expressed in words; indescribable
It’s a big word, right? How do I even know this word, you ask? I came across it in a book I was reading and (after looking it up, of course) fell in love with it. I feel like I could use this word a lot. Or, should I say, finding a word that fits me so perfectly leaves me with an ineffable feeling.
Ineffable describes the love I have for my husband and the way he loves me. In the way we have built together one year at a time.
And the way I want to put words to my feelings describing my daughter. In the beautiful potential I see and in her dreams I can hardly wait to watch come true.
Ineffable surrounds my heart when I think of my family and what they mean to me and their place in my life.
It describes the feelings I have when watching a sunset while anchored out in the middle of nowhere.
Ineffable describes the euphoria present in me after trying something scary and new. Ineffable explains my mood when things aren’t going quite right. It describes my heart trampled with disappointments, hurts & anger too.
I love what this word, ineffable, offers me. In the way that I don't have to have all the words, but more the feelings to hold in my heart. As I work on becoming a better person, a wife, mom, to step outside of my very small box, to find my passion/s, to discover my God potential, and, oh yes, to become a better communicator, I look forward to the ineffable feelings in store. But, more than anything, I hope in some way I can pass on this feeling of ineffable joy, passion, love to those around me.
