flowers in the wind

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.
…..
A time to plant and a time to uproot
A time to break down and a time to build up
A time to weep and a time to laugh
A time to mourn and a time to dance
A time to wait in silence and a time to speak up
…..
Ecclesiates 3:1

at ocean
June 18, 2009
The ocean tide is flooding the shoreline and His underto draws me into deeper love where there is no footing. I am swept away by His wisdom and beckoning that calls me forward into His gaze. My toes search for ground but my heart soars with delight.
His goodness is unfathomable. Just when fear tried to hold me back, He broke open the doors and presented me to His palace of satisfaction, beauty in every detail.

There comes a time when prayer can no longer be pretty, containted, or pattern. The microphone must fall to the floor and the instruments come to a still. Communion begins breaking into the silence of the air and all the while He finds it breathtaking, contained in the permameters of His presence, poetic to the rhythms of His heart: our hearts bare before Him. Teach me Jesus how to open my heart to You.
Lewis says it

“If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world”
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless–it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”
“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
“Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.”
“This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted.”

could artwork made that is never heard or seen be as a silent prayer that reaches Father’s heart and possibly shakes a generation?

“Perceiving then that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus Christ withdrew again to the mountain by himself.” John 6:15
How many of us would say, “About time they see that I am the King.” But what was it that Jesus Christ knew in the mountain top of true acceptance and authority?
Prayer: Take me there. And when I am there help me to stay with love beaming in my heart because to the natural eye the crowds gather at the bottom but true hope comes from the mountains. May heart and eyes be one and the eyes of my heart be opened.

Rose Petals
March 1, 2009
“He loves me, He loves me not, He loves me, He loves me not.” Isn’t this just how our life is in God? Pulling off the rose petals and hoping that the last petal we pull will be “He loves me!” We have such a hard time understanding that He does indeed love us!” – Mary Katherine

“When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability… To be alive is to be vulnerable.” - Madeleine L’Engle
confession
February 10, 2009
i am in deep cleaning boxes, boxes and….boxes of photography hidden and hoarded away. i have sincerely repented to the LORD and I extend an apology to others for burying my seed- all the doubles of pictures never given out, all the empty photo albums and frames yet to hang on the wall. wow, this is a tremendous work long overdue. it’s time to reflect and time to move forward. His deep is cleansing my deep, even in the most precious place of visual memories. Perhaps this year will be a year of new expression of photography and beauty. Help me LORD, be a good steward of life, relationships, gifts and talents, all You have gladly brought and are joyfully bringing.

“God proposes to His people and says ‘Here’s a diamond, come live in it!’ We will experience the depth of beauty we long for.”
