This is January from "Monthly Meditations: Favorite Verses" 2017 Calendar. Every year is a new opportunity, a fresh start, and gift from our Heavenly Father.

Happy May

The Miracle of Spring

   There is something special about springtime. It reminds me that after every failure is a fresh start, after every moment of sorrow a moment of healing, after the old always the new. After the long duration of cold a warmth and rejuvenation. With each vivacious color is the reminder that life is a gift, a miracle. 

 

 

 

 

 

In the Beginning

   It was from these books that I was inspired to do more than just take a picture here and there. They were the guides to rekindle the creativity locked inside. To all photographers whether novice or professional: Remember your beginnings and how far you have come.

"Monthly Meditation": March

The Way Before Me

   Every once in a while I love to take and edit one of my pictures to use a background for a graphic design project. A few of my favorite subjects are roads and fences. Roads are the means by which we take journeys or relocate from one place to the other. I am reminded that in whatever journey I take, physical or spiritual, I need guidance. Once the journey has begun I need to continue to follow the Guide. I don't need to fear the end of the journey nor do I have to know my final destination. I can follow knowing I am literally in good hands. Isaiah 41:13

Never Alone

   I find this scene very unique. If I could zoom out these two trees would look even more solitary. There they sit all alone on the top of that sprawling hill. Two soldiers "sticking out" against the stark contrast of the horizon. They remind me that there are moments when we feel as if we are standing alone and vulnerable. Yet in those moments we remember amist the trials and criticism, there is always Someone there by our side. We are "Alone, Yet Not Alone".
