Here on earth, the merry go round keeps going. You can’t ask everybody to stop so you can re-calibrate or catch up. You have to keep going. The obligations, and responsibilities are there. Meanwhile, there IS respite. You can look up. You can stop for a moment, even if life keeps going, and you can take a look at the heavens. Escaping from the ant mentality and making room for a different perspective. Sometimes I do this when I am driving to work. Just for a few seconds, I look up and around at the sky and really try to connect with the heavens. Knowing that He is there (and here) and that what I am experiencing isn’t all there is. I have to readjust my view or I will becomes deceived and this life will take me down.

Falling
“Though I have fallen, I will arise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.” Micah 7:8 If I’m walking through this life on a journey, the likelihood of taking a fall, is high. Not because I purposefully set it up, but due to all the factors that I will never be…
Amen
“I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:27 AMEN, Lord. I get it. I understand. No, Lord. Nothing, not one thing, is too difficult for You. I believe it, because I have already seen what YOU have done in the past. The most recent past…
Beauty & Pain
Beauty and pain. To me, this photo expresses it so perfectly. It’s always both in life. It seems like one is greater than the other at times, but neither one is ever totally absent. Obviously, it’s only a challenge when pain appears to outweigh beauty. If I concentrate on the hurricane, I’ll lose sight of…
