He created it all


A nasty thunderstorm had just ended. Trees and power lines were down all over town. I spotted this single leaf in a parking lot. There is nothing in God's creation either large or small that doesn't amaze me.
Genesis 1:1 declares that God created the heavens and the earth. From every grain of sand to the mountains to mankind, He created it all. 

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1 NLT

Nothing seemingly insignificant by man's standards is too small for God. Nothing man considers too big an obstacle is too big for God.
I love nature photography so much, because I get to capture these precious moments and keep them forever.

    and give you his peace.
~Numbers 6:25-26 NLT

There is a long way to wade through before I can put my coat in a quiet bedroom. I have to remember to smile and say "hello" as well as accept hugs. There are a few cousins who cannot stand my presence, though, at age 5, I don't know what I could have possibly done to upset them. I am asked, "Why do you plug your ears?" I am told repeatedly that nobody wants me here. I am the only one who isn't part of a group. Sometimes, I get bullied. A parent ...

First Day of Spring

Cherry blossom tree in Springtime with light blue sky Today is the first day of Spring.  As of late, I have presented a lot of dark, weighty subject material. I thought it was time for something positive and lighter. While Winter serves as a cushion and break from the outside sensory world, it also renews me for the next season. Spring helps me to appreciate the present a little more, as Summer can be tough with kids being off of school and setting off fireworks. Here is to the present. I also want to take the time to thank the Lord for always being with me, no matter how dark things get.
