The photographer posted above has captured my heart and my soul in photographs. I am not a connoisseur of photography or anything. I simply recognize what stirs in my heart. This is one of those photographs that stopped me in my tracks. I could hear the Holy Spirit in my soul whispering and wooing me. This is the season of life I am in... my family is in. It is not a "bad" season, it's really beautiful in its own way. It is a season of standing on the edge of the known and looking out into the waters of the unknown, toes dangling off the edge, trusting that whatever is on the other side of that step is in God's hands. I look at this photograph and feel the peace of the Lord running through my body, from my fingertips to my tiptoes. I know that I know that the Lord is for me, I know that He will never leave me, I know He knows all, sees all... I know He has a plan. I also know that does not mean an "easy life", a carefree life, a life I can handle... it means a life He can handle and I simply have to take that next step in faith, just trust Him. I am grateful for this season of learning unconditional trust in God. I am learning that the temporal things of this world are not my goal of life, my goal of life is the eternal, and the eternal is not learned or seen from the dock, it is only experienced in the "unknown", the step after your toes are dangling off the edge. I am ready and willing Lord. Teach me to know You, to trust You more, for alone are worthy.
