It's not been the winter and spring I'd envisioned. Unable to take advantage of the crisp mornings and delightfully cool days that are the hallmark of winter and spring in the deep, deep south, my photography moments have been far fewer than I'd hoped for this season - even more so with a new camera.
But there were days I pushed myself - hard - past the mailbox to the neighbor's fence line or along the creekbank - or even out into the pasture. Never all in one day, but still.
Some may say I'm the depiction of determination. My husband's more inclined to say I'm stubborn or bull-headed. I'm probably a bit of both.
The truth is that if I will just look past the dizziness and confusion of my circumstances, and walk "in the light of (the Lord's) face", my steps are steady and sure, and I can do what I thought I could not do otherwise...
...little by little - and not necessarily in the direction I had in mind - but with little victories here and there and hope and encouragement for the future.
who walk, O LORD, in the light of your face
~ Psalm 89:15 ESV

Pat...I love your pictures that show what rural Florida has to offer. Pollywog Creek is beautiful because God made it and your camera lens captures it well. I love the quote by Sarah Young as well. We all need to look past our circumstances because there just are things we cannot change. But with Christ....life takes on a whole new meaning. You continue to bless me with your simple and profound insight dear friend!
You are an inspiration.Here I sit,feeling sorry for myself because of the Fybromyalgia pain,and no one to share it with.You are showing me that I too,can move forward with God's help.
These photos are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
The pictures are stunning Pat, as always - and you continue to inspire me to lean ever more on our Lord. Thank you so much for your faithfulness, dear one!
