When deciding on a name for a blog, I honestly didn't know where to begin. There is so much that I want this blog to be! I want it to be a place I can come to put my thoughts... A place I can come to release my ideas, musings, and beliefs. I want this blog to be a place I can come to record our lives: the good and the difficult. I want it to be a place where I can look back someday and remember the amazing way the Lord has guided my family through this breathtaking adventure we are weaving. Let me tell you, it is an ADVENTURE!
I chose the name Sonshine and Shade because it is a perfect reflection of our lives. Jesus, the Son of God, is the light of my life. He is my reason for greeting the sun (or lack of it, lets face it, I live in Oregon) in the morning. He is all I need. He is the center of our family, much like the sun is the center of our solar system. And while he is what brings warmth and purpose to my life, he is also the one who provides the relief of shade when this journey just gets too hot. He covers me with his love and helps me to take a full breath when life seems to smother me. My family could not have made one step in this journey without Him. He is our help, our relief, our strength, and our protector.
....Also, it happens to be a great word play on our last name!
Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
