God's Glory

Today was an awesome day!! I had to take tons of pictures today of the Half Henge on campus for a class assignment in the digital photography class. I got to take them right around sunset and the beauty I witnessed was amazing!!! To me, all the beautiful world around me is God's way to reach out to me....Him showing his love and glory down on me. I believe He created such a beautiful world in order to show all the people here on earth of his greatness. So many of us are so used to whats around us that we take all the true beauty around us for granted. I think we all should pay more attention to all the beauty that we have been so blessed with; watch the sunset....the very time of day when God paints the skies. See all the beautiful plants and flowers.....they are all unique in their own way....even the Joshua trees.:) I got to go through all my photos I took, on the computer when I got home ...I could only choose 20 pictures to take to class on Friday and that was VERY hard to just choose just 20. As you may be able to tell, I LOVE nature! The beauty in this world reminds me of The Heavenly Father so therefore when I am going through hard times the great outdoors is my comfort. When I stand outside and feel the wind blowing over me as I close my eyes I actually feel like all my troubles just drain from me. It amazes me....its like my wordless prayer.

You can post a picture with your blog entry as I would LOVE to see what you experienced!

The desert is a photographer's dream.

I can see now how hard it would be to choose a "best picture" if this is the setting you had to shoot.

It is beautiful and the photo enhances the explanation about the assignment.

Thanks for sharing.

The rainy Day

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;It rains, and the wind is never weary;The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,But at every gust the dead leaves fall,And the day is dark and dreary.My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;It rains, and the wind is never weary;My thoughts still cling to the mouldering past,But the hopes of the youth fall thick in the blast,And the days are dark and dreary.Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;Thy fate is the common fate of all,Into each life some rain must fall,Some days must be dark and dreary.~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The Lords Way

Isaiah 55:8-11~For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Wings as Eagles

Isaiah 40:28-31~Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.
