This piece is about partnership- specifically, the ongoing, imperfect, grace-filled work of parenting alongside my husband. The “we” in the title speaks to both of us: how we’ve had to bend, soften, listen, and adjust as we raise our children and try to walk out marriage in a godly way.

The flowing structure of the tapestry mirrors that process- layered, grounded, and shifting. There are no hard edges here. Just gentle movement and steady presence. The land, water, and sky blend into one another, echoing the way our roles blur- partner and parent, individual and team.

We Bend is the fifth piece in What Holds, a series about quiet strength, partnership, and the daily surrender of choosing love again and again.
