A details God...

While on a walk with Megan, I got so caught up in textures.  There are so many textures outside right now.  I was undone by the beautiful colors and designs God created.  I've been wanting to focus on some self portrait concepts, I've been journaling and thinking about who I am, how I'm seen, blah blah...  I didn't take a self portrait, however, I was reminded of my passions.  Being outside, walking my dog, taking pictures, (with no pressure)... this is one way I connect with my Maker.   

Here are the pictures I took.  There is no purpose, no reason for the images.  Just beautiful proof that my God is a details God.  As much as He has detailed nature, He has detailed my life.  He hasn't forgotten you or me.  

Definition of mother

Working as a nanny and at an elementary school, my eyes have been opened to family.  What family means, parenting, children, etc.  I am by no means saying that I have it all figured out.  However, I will say that I've seen a simple need of children that is often neglected,  time.  Kids want your time.  I've seen this over and over.  Parents who give their children their time and attention and parents who don't.  There is a world of difference in the personality of those children.

Mom gave us her time.  She gave us her attention.  She gave us herself.

 She gave me so much security.

I didn't know that what my mom gave me was incredibly selfless.  I didn't know that not every kid receives this.

My mom taught me an incredible definition of 'mother.'

I'm so blessed.
