Sarah Beth Lasso and her precious son, Manning
Man- Two posts in one day? Man- Blair's getting crazy. :) I wanted to include this in the other post but I couldn't get the pictures to go where I wanted them. From now on, when I post, I want to write about a person, thing or experience that revealed God's beauty to me. God has really given me new eyes as I wrote about in my previous post for seeing beauty in His people and His creations. I especially want to focus on people. Too many people, especially women, do not know their own beauty; myself included. We are too focused on what the world says in beautiful and measuring ourselves to things that don't even come close to real beauty and all at the same time, we in fact have been given such tremendous characteristics of beauty. We are the epitome of beauty and we don't even know it. This is my efforts to reveal things and people of beauty in hopes to reveal God's beauty in the "unnoticed."
The Lasso family is such an incredible blessing and a perfect family to start my new posts on beauty. I thank God for allowing me to delight in His people. Sarah Beth Lasso is such an example of beauty. As I sit here and try to think how to put my feelings and emotions into words to express how much I love her and how much she inspires and encourages me... I am finding it really difficult because my heart is just so full. When I dream about my future family, I picture hers. As I watch them, I just ache to be a part of it. Just look at the picture of that family up top. What a beautiful family. Such precious kids... and I don't even know all of them. I've only had the pleasure of working camp joy with Sarah Beth and her children Sarah Grace and Forrest. The love and the Spirit of the Lord is so evident in SB and her children. She exemplifies such a servant heart for anyone and everyone that comes in her path but especially for persons with special needs (or anyone associated with camp joy for that matter.) Her heart is overflowing with radiant compassion and love. It's incredible and inspiring to be around. Not only does she exude the love of Christ, she is incredibly fun to be around. Sarah Beth Lasson is true depiction of the Joy of The Lord! Joy is always flowing from her and spilling out into the people around her. Sarah Grace, her daughter, has been given a perfect name. Sarah Grace in our outward and inward beauty truly is a picture of Grace. She really has become like my sister and I have such a heart for her. I'd probably beat someone up for her. She is only 12 and is such a wise, mature and beautiful young lady. She is such a perfect image of the gentle and quiet spirit and beauty that is described in God's word. And Forrest... what a man of Character. I am honored to have the opportunity to know him and experience his heart. He has such a pure heart that seeks to love people and bring glory and honor to God. He has a heart of such love and acceptance. He took is wise beyond his years. I have been blessed with a lot of time with Sarah Beth at camp and we have offically been dubbed soul sisters so I've been blessed to be able to talk with her a lot still post camp joy. Her words have been full of beauty and love reflecting on our relationship and our experience at camp joy but what really it was something else. When she speaks about her children...this is what got me thinking about beauty in her and in other people.... She speaks so highly and is so proud of her children. She has such a confidence in who they are and who they are becoming and that the Lord is so faithful in their lives. Sarahbeth, (and Sarah Grace & Forrest) I could go on forever but thank you for who you are and for sharing your beauty with me and allowing me to be a part of your life. You're a blessing to many and such an example of beauty and you don't even know it.
