Oh, to be spiritually ALIVE! As a Christian, the "feeling" of being connected to God is not always there. Some days I feel His presence; some days my perception is that He is silent. But today...oh today, I felt Him. I felt Him all around me. I love that feeling. It's a reassurance from the Lord that I am ALIVE & that He loves me. I've been reading my devotions, going to Bible study, and felt empty for a long time until today. My quiet time with the Lord this morning was in the form of a song*. I've listened to this song* so many times before, but today it hit me. It was like I was away from home for so long. Jesus greeted me, through this song, with the kind of hug that embraces you hard & quickly, picks you up off the ground, and swings you around & won't let go. Wow, Jesus missed me. I can not describe in words what that feeling like, except to say that I feel like I have purpose again. Not that I didn't before...you know what the haziness of life is like. If you allow it, it will cloud your vision of the Lord. I am so thankful the clouds have been lifted today. As the Psalm (84:10) goes...better is ONE day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere.
Anyway, things have been very quiet here on the photography front. I have had some time to think and work on some other art though. I will post pictures of my paintings later. You can comment if you'd like.
*I want to share the song that touched me today. All Around Me, by Flyleaf. It's awesome...check it out if you'd like. The genre of music is Alternative Rock.
Have to post a picture...so here is one of my baby boy, Julian. I love him so much.
