God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars. ~ Martin Luther
Source of Joy...
Photography has been a source of joy for me since I was a little girl. I remember, when I was about 13 or so, climbing the tallest pine tree in my back yard with my Polaroid camera to get a shot of the sunset through its branches. I remember crying when I got my first 35mm, and the day I got my first digital camera, I was so excited, it felt like Christmas!!!
Going out with my camera, is an escape for me, like a treasure hunt, in faraway land. Talking to Papa as I explore, asking Him to help me, it is a true time of worship and intimacy with Him. I become very childlike when I do, and sometimes the Holy Spirit comes on me so strong, I weep, laugh or think I might fall over.
It is a very special time or worship between the Lord and I.
My hope and prayer is that some of the images He has allowed me to capture in pixels will minister to you and speak to your heart, as they have mine.
Faith to see...
Rainbow drops 6/8/11
I was in the garden, watering some newly planted herbs when I got this shot. As I was watering the baby plants, the sun was behind me and I caught it's reflection in the mist of the water. Then, I saw a beautiful rainbow! God always surprises me with them and usually speaks to me when He does. As I meditated on it I realized that the rainbow was always there, that the water had just revealed it.
The Rainbow is always there...
Just like Jesus, the Light of the World, He is always there, whether we can see Him or not. Same with the tiny seeds, all the potential is already there under that ground and just waiting to germinate.
So, that is what Faith really is...believing He is there...believing we have a purpose even when we can't see it. Like tiny little seeds, each one of us holds a harvest inside of us. We need to first find a soil or church family rich with nutrients, tilled by prayer...a place where we can lay down and die. There must be worship, letting the water of His presence cover and soak us, so we can germinate. And once we are grown, the Son will illuminate His purpose and give us energy for the work of producing fruit!
So then, WE, like individual little drops of water will work together to reveal Him, the Rainbow, to those that can't see Him...yet!
