Fierce
The Lord loves us strongly! His love is fierce!
When i think back of life as a child, i remember being so carefree and curious and I remember trusting people in my family that i felt safe with, These are the people that helped me to see what God looked like from a child's point of view. Life was full of wonder and excitement and JOY! ...
As a teenager i began to see the world around me differently , i was wanting to test the waters and try new
things... in a sense i wanted to act like a grow-up ...even though i had no idea what it meant ... and even though i did not have the adult responsiblilties just yet, I was in a sense fearless, because everything i did was reckless and irrresponsible....
In my twenties i got married and had my children and that is when I began to see the world in a whole new way.... through the eyes of my sons.. i was able to see the joy, wonder and excitement again.... but with all those good things also came immense responsibility.... and that part was frightening to me....
Around the time i made it to my 30's I saw the world differently again and I saw that my sons needed to see less fear in me and more faith!! So i began to seek out the Lord and ask him to help me to face my fears and find freedom from some stinkin' thinking.... and so The LORD did meet me and walked with me into the 40's...
Now i am reaching the 50's (47) and I can say that the last 7 years, have been the best; when it comes to my relationship with Christ. He has shown me that no matter what i walk through.. he is an everpresent help in time of need.. He has shown me in these 7 years...my gifts and talents.... and strengthened me to see him in a way... that sometimes take my breath away...
Those footprints in the sand are mine in the last few images.. and as i was photographing the sunrise .. i could feel the love of God all around me... It was actually tangible...
so pleasant, peaceful as I was filled with JOYFULNESS at the BEAUTY around me!!
Because his love is fierce....
