Finding what you look for

I am a very passionate photographer

I easily forget everything around me except what I see through my lens.

I see the glory of the Lord in nature,

especially when the scene is back lite.

Back lighting is when the sun is flooding your subject from the back.

In nature, it reveals marvelous inner workings.

I see it as the Lord turning His spotlight on the heart,

From my heart to yours, may your Sunday be blessed with the love of His light in your life.

Through the waters

 

Happy Sunday!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello dear friends,

 

 

Through some of the hardest patches of my life you would have found me walking

St. Petersburg Beach in FL.

I would walk and pray and my tears were lost in the ocean's salty spray

on my face.

 

This scripture is a personal favorite, as I have felt the "waters of troubles"

would certainly overflow and drown me.

Jesus was always there and even the hardest aspects of my life were

walked through with Him by my side.

 

If you are going through a difficult time in your life,

I pray my photography, along with this beautiful scripture

will soothe your heart and lead you to a closer walk with Him.

Both in the rain and the sunshine of every day life.

 

From my heart to yours, may your day be blessed.

Lynn

 

 



Moments in time.

 The past few months have been full of life, love, loss.

We have celebrated.

We have grieved.

But never once..........

Did time slow down to allow us to grab hold and hang on.

Moments,  no matter how we treasure them

slip away as the next one slides in place.

I have welcomed a new grandson,

grieved over the loss of a cousin.

Celebrated the joy of my Aunt turning 90!

Spent many nights awake waiting for updates

from a Christian comedian I have never met

simply because I walk with the Lord, believe in prayer

and her precious hubby had had a stroke.

We prayed and prayed and prayed.....

In the end David went home with the Lord.

I have also prayed for an amazing little 7 year old who

just had bone marrow transplant.

Every picture his precious mom posts this child has a wide smile,

the light of the Lord shines through his little face....

As does it with all his family as they go through this together.

 We continue to pray, he is healing.

Tomorrow another grandson begins a whole new

adventure: kindergarten.

His mommy will put him on the bus with his older brother and off he goes......

Out in the world.

Wasn't it just yesterday she brought him home?

I hold my newest grandson and his fingers curl around mine.

I look at his face and thank the Lord.

Yet, wasn't it just yesterday I did the same when I held his daddy?

I am so glad that I have the Lord to hold me close.

As the moments keep marching by in my life.

I met my hubby later in life and in less than a month

we celebrate our 20th anniversary.

There is an 8 year difference between us.

He will be 76 later this month.

So many, many moments of life we have seen together in these years.

We both came from a place that left us broken and fragile.

Together with the Lord we built beauty from the ashes.

HE is our strength.

Yes, I am in a melancholy mood tonight.

Playing around with my photography.

Just because I feel the urge to remind myself and you,

how fragile life really is.

How good the Lord is through all the moments of our lives.

How prayer and praise weaved through the fabric of our days

brings comfort, strength, surrender to HIM.

I close by dedicating this to my hubby, Terry.

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

 Jim Croce, lyrics from Time in a bottle.

From my heart to yours,

may your moments be blessed.

This originally was linked with Spiritual Sundays  about 9 months ago.  My youngest grandson will be a year old next month.

My hubby has macular degeneration and a torn retina.

This has been a beautiful time with the Lord because for more reasons than my hubby's

vision issue, I am at a place where all I can do is "wait on Him".

While I wait, I seek out even more beauty, common beauty, beauty in nature,

inspiration with my Nikon.

I just read this over tonight and read the words to the song, Time in a bottle.

Oh how I wish I could bottle up time so it won't slip away........

No one can do that.

All I can do is live each day in grace bestowed on me from Him.

I have asked him to teach me to wait on Him with a grateful heart

and a mouth full of praise

and a life of grace that glorifies Him.

He can give him strength through this.

He can do anything, anytime.

I stay open to possibilities and close to the Lord.

How great Thou art!

We shall behold Him!

 

 

28 years ago tonight, I lost my hearing at 39.

BOR syndrome was the cause.  A syndrome I had no clue I carried inside me and passed on

to my daughter.

In fact, it was years into deafness, looking for a way to help her not loose her hearing too,

 that I came across

research that lead me to BOR.

 

Following deafness, my heart continued to shatter over the period of several years as

other parts of my life crumbled.

 

However, the one constant in my life through it all was Jesus Christ.

 So today, with so much joy in my heart.

I thank the Lord for deafness, for making me exactly as I am.

More importantly, for allowing everything I have gone through.

It deepened my love for my Lord.

That, my beautiful friends is worth it all!

 

We shall behold Him

Face to Face

In all His glory

We shall behold Him!

 

From my heart to yours, may your day be blessed.

**In 1999 I was implanted with the cochlear implant with has given me about 50% ability to hear, almost normally one to one in quiet environments.

Socially, digital phones, public address system are difficult to the point of not being part of

my life because the words are just garbled noise.  My CI picks up the loudest sound.

CI's have come a long way to meet the technology in our world today.

However, I have no regret for having been implanted in 1999 after 13 years of total deafness.

I believe every day is a gift from Him.

 



Good morning!

 I have not posted for too long.

I am back!

How is HE working in your life?

From my heart to yours may your day, your weekend be blessed.
