IN: Summer breathes plans , observations , and dashed conspiracies . I can feel my brain leaking out my ears sometimes when I daydream . THAT 'S how substance - less ( is that a word ? ) my internal creative potluck feels .
How is the narrator at work right now ?

OUT: They are all over the place .

IN: What an incredible thing , to see ourselves as we truly are , the magic of ourselves , the gift of us . Not the better lose this , trim this , icky , what 's my hair doing , scrunch of the face we often do in the mirror , but the seeing the best of who we are reflected back to us in someone else 's eyes . We did n't plan it this way but I saw it unfold all around us .
What does the author want to keep from this experience ?

OUT: She wants to remember to see the best in herself .

IN: As a single woman , I have held my family above Christ by refusing to speak truth at the risk of disrupting my family 's so - called peace or potentially losing relationship with them altogether . I knew God was calling me to bring into the light past family sin that had never been discussed since it occurred 27 years ago . I could see how it could be used to show them God 's grace by coming to them in truth and forgiveness . And although there was great possibility to see lives transformed , I sinned against God by instead choosing my family and my own comfort because the risk was too high .
What may have happened during this time ?

OUT:
They had to lie to their family .
