enjoying the small things

Steam rose lazily up from our iron, the swish and spray of the washing machine was heard, flowers were gently placed on the table, small fingers tapped the key board, pencils bobbed up and down, someone lay curled up on the couch reading a good book, ducks quacked, and warped shadows and golden lighting smothered the walls, and while all this happened I captured some of this beauty. 

















What is your favorite thing to take pictures of?

Life is like looking up a tall tree...

Life.  It's happenings.  Breath.  The abilities it gives us.  Laughter.  The spontaneous happiness it produces. 
Life is too amazing to be true--how God created me and you. 

      I realized today that life is like looking up one of those really tall trees and thinking: 'Man, that's high!'... I find that we look up to life and say 'Geesh...that's high...how will I ever be able to reach there?'  In other words, 'how will I get where I want to go in life'?  Yeah.  That's the question.  How?  How can we climb to the top of that tree without just staring up at it from the bottom...?--we really do have to pull our own weight.  It's not just about waiting for that spontaneous moment to appear when you'll be accepted into a job and as something great.  Although, after the pulling and hard work, then, comes the time to wait.   Everyone's tree--or aspirations--are different...thus, each of us carry a completely different task.  
Just think a minute about what you love to do a lot.  Okay, now think about climbing up a tree with that on your back...you're 'aspiring high'.  Aspire high for that job you want--for that ability that you want to get better at.  Sure enough, you'll realize, God's there right next to you ready to give you a helping hand.  
While you aspire,
love God--not the things of this world. 
Laugh a lot...and, of course, crying is necessary.
be thankful in all circumstances,
Please don't complain,
Make nothingness into something...a dull room into something cheery and bright.  A blank piece of paper into a written masterpiece or drawing. 
Just aspire high.  And remember--don't just chose a small tree to climb--choose the biggest--or the one that God is calling you to.  
Note:  Please don't get too caught up in the things of this world: love GOD.  HIM alone. 
aspire high
be inspired by Christ.
