365 Project Day 320: Reflective Perspective

November 16, 2011

Separated

Canon 5D Mark ll, 100mm 2.8 macro, 4.0 aperture, 1/160 shutter, 400 ISO

My perspective can be so limited. I can feel alone, like this little leaf, reflecting in its singularity blown here by the storm. But if I change my viewpoint just a bit, open it a little wider, I can see the bigger picture.

The little leaf is overshadowed, watched over, by the mighty oak just over there.

The Bigger Picture

My God is watching over me. Tomorrow I embark on an adventure. I go to England to see my Annie. I have fought fear, held my husband so tight in the middle of the night that he could barely breathe. Tonight I breathe deeply and feel God’s peace. I am grateful for this perspective shift that the Lord so graciously gave me today through these images. He is good and knows just what a timid adventurer needs. I am grateful.

Psalm 139:5 ~”You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.”

    Funny… I took almost identical photos today… yours are prettier…. having our Father’s perspective is life for our souls.

    May you sense joy, unspeakable, as you travel.

    If you have time, listen to Bethany Dillon’s song, “Airplane.” Bethany talks about how she sees and experiences the Lord up in the airplane. Every time I listen to this song, I am moved. I love to listen to it through my iPod when I fly…

    Hugs,
