Happy Father's Day

Most fathers and mothers pray for a son.  

Someone to carry on the family name and work alongside the father.  

My daddy never got a son...instead he was blessed with three daughters!  :) 

What many people fail to realize is the special bond between Fathers and daughters.

For it is a girl's daddy whom other men will always be judged by.  

A Father is the standard which the girl will look for in a future husband.

I am so grateful that God has given me godly Father.

A man who leads our family by example.

A man who works so hard, yet takes time to be with his family.

Daddy,

I love you so very much and I wish you a great Father's Day, 

on this day and forever!

God meant it unto good...

{Monterey, CA}

God meant it unto good - O blest assurance,

Falling like sunshine all across life's way,

Touching with Heaven's gold earth's darkest storm clouds,

Bringing fresh peace and comfort day by day.

God meant it unto good for thee, beloved,

The God of Joseph is the same today;

His love permits afflictions strange and bitter,

His hand is guiding through the unknown way.

The Lord, who sees the end from the beginning,

Hath purposes for thee of love untold.

Then place thy hand in His and follow fearless,

Till thou the riches of His grace behold.

a favorite passage:

I am back from a two-week long vacation, and have over 800 pictures to show for it!!  :)

I chose one of my absolute favorite passages and used it on a picture taken 

at Grand Tetons National Park.

HIS timing:

Spring is finally here, everything is green, and the flowers are abloom!

I love spring!

A couple of weeks ago it seemed as though it would never come...

Sometimes, I feel the same way about things in my life.

It is one of my biggest struggles...doubt and impatience.

You would think I would learn, but time after time I find myself impatiently questioning God.

Wanting to take matters in my own hands and solve my own problems.

Instead of letting the Lord make things beautiful in His timing.

Faith is letting go and letting God.

True faith drops its letter in the post office box,

and lets it go.  Distrust holds onto a corner of it,

and wonders that the answer never comes. 

-

True faith hands its case over to God, and then He works.

"Commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in him,

and he shall bring it to pass." (Ps. 37: 5)

 

Faith is the evidence of things not seen.

When I go for walks, with just my camera,

and God, I am reminded...

that just as God brings Spring in his timing,

 

so he will work out all my life's loose ends-

in HIS timing.

real joy
