The waiting, the hoping, the longing for something better while sitting in the darkness. I took time I didn’t have at the end of a semester to start writing an Instagram post a day for Advent, each day on a different word.

I’m not voting to further the heavenly kingdom; I’m voting for the creation of a more perfect union.
