Hidden Trail pt. 2

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
Isaiah 12:3

In the dry heat of the day this creek was so refreshing to hear and feel. I've always known how vital water truly is but recently I've truly realized it's importance. I think a lot of times when it rains we over look it or feel it is a nuisance but forget how desperately everything around us depends on it. The word water appears in the bible about 363 times, not including other words for it or examples of it. It's a beautiful thing about scripture is how God use's His creation to explain how vital He is to our souls:

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. John 4:10

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:38

Thankful for so much :)

Hidden Trail

I have taken so many pictures of trails, especially the one I frequent. So, it is so nice to be posting my new favorite. I found this trail after taking a random drive and when I finally got a chance to walk it I couldn't believe the sites I saw. I took many photos of the creek and flowers so there will be a part two to this posting. I also lost my lens cap taking pictures of the canopy of leaves but it was worth it. Pictures do not do this place justice.

"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Matthew 7:14

The Little Things

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. Proverbs 6:6-8

Leaf by Leaf

Reflections of beauty leaf by leaf what an awesome creation of God.

All Creation Cries "Be Glorified"....pt 1

So I've discovered new places by taking a few different roads. I can't believe the hidden beauties that are left undiscovered because I've just not had the time to go look for them! I feel really blessed and in the midst of fears these pictures are just a slice of the PEACE that God granted to me. Heart doctor appointment went well, and took a drive.

The River

"As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

O sinners let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O sinners let's go down,
Down in the river to pray."

These pictures were taken with my old cell phone (sorry for the poor quality) last summer after a baptism. It's amazing to think about it's history, This is the same river I was baptized in, as well as many others. I plan on taking a special trip and taking pictures again. Just felt like posting. :)

When the Rain Comes

These pictures were taken between a span of two days, I caved in and took a picture of Stewie, He tends to follow me where ever I go around the house and wouldn't leave me alone so I felt that maybe I should include him in my photo-blog adventures. The view of the sky was taken from the front yard of the Church, beautiful isn't it? The last picture was taken in my front yard where a tree stump use to reside but now almost resembles a small garden pond. It started to rain and it just happened to catch my eye.

"He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth." Psalms 72:6

A Promise to Post

Haven't posted in forever! I just got batteries for my camera and will be able to start taking more pictures here soon Lord willing!
