everyday beauty


I took some engagement pictures this weekend while I was home, and the day couldn't have been more beautiful. Its funny when people say they don't see God in everyday things. Miracles are "spectacular" and do not happen everyday.
I beg to differ. I think we are afraid to say miracles are daily, because when something is ever present, then it gets old and not as special. But that is a stupid human mindset. God himself is daily, yet everyday I am alive I see just how much greater He is. He never grows stale in my heart. Granted, I have the tendency to ignore him or to forget his grace and love. And then I wonder why I feel alone or trapped in a world of coldness. But by coming out of myself and my selfish wants, I see God is always there waiting for my heart to find Him again.
Look around us! Whether it is in a kiss or a field of wildflowers... God is ever present. And just like Him, his miracles happen everyday, with innocent beauty as their after effect.

Once again, really great pictures Em! I like the Lasleys comments, Dave's makes me laugh :)

I think it is amazing, especially right now in my insomniatic-delusional state that I'm in, how God is there everyday making miracles happen, but to Him, it's already been done.

Time blows my mind, especially thinking of God outside of time. He's with us and blesses us with all kinds of amazing blessings even though He knows the world is going to end, our lives will end someday. He still sees us as worth something, every second and every day, He continues to give us life to live to glorify Him.
