Now's Glitter

You can buy 100 pounds of junk, or you can save up and buy a diamond. You sort of distantly know you might possibly be able to get a diamond (or at least, the people who do the right thing do, somewhere), but it takes patience and endurance and hard work, and all these flashy sort of clunky baubles dangle in your eyes like candy. You hear that they’ll rot your teeth or turn your neck green, but they’re so shiny right here and now. So shiny as they clink around together on your neck all twisting and linking, and catching on your clothes. They’re teachers you will remember though. But will they make you better after showing you their corrosion? Or have they bled just enough into you to give you a little taste for more? Or have they left enough of a mark that you’ve got to get some more, and keep getting more, just to cover up the tainted color?

Sittin' in the Sunshine

This is what happens when my Jeep sits in the sun on a hot afternoon. Within 5 minutes of starting it up the temp reads cooler (well, relatively - its been super hot in general). In case the pic is too blurry, it shows my Jeep's little info screen reading the outside temperature at 102 degrees.

Filled to all the Fullness

"A holy, joyful expectancy is of the very essence of true waiting. And, this is not only true in reference to the many varied requests every believer has to make, but most especially to the one great petition which ought to be the chief thing every heart seeks for itself---that the life of God in the soul may have full sway. That Christ may be fully formed within, and that we may be filled to all the fullness of God. This is what God has promised. This is what God's people too little seek, very often because they do not believe it possible. This is what we ought to seek and dare to expect, because God is able and waiting to work it in us." -Excerpt from "Waiting on God", by Andrew Murray. I may have posted this excerpt before...but I still like it :-). I recommend this book; it has encouraged me so much.

Great Are You

Princess Shoes

I snapped this picture in DSW while shopping for shoes to wear to a wedding. These didn't really go with the dress I'd bought, so i didnt buy them even though I fell in love with them. One day they will be mine. :-)

God's Love

Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; ..." Psalm 139:17-18
