This is the view out the side door of our house. Beautiful trees. Standing upright. This. This is a view of those beautiful trees with 90mph+ winds. Severe thunderstorms. Tornado warning. While I love storm chasing, it might make me just a little, teeny, tiny bit afraid. * * * Next week’s prompt is: BREATHTAKING
This week’s photo prompt is DAINTY. It honestly took me a long time to find something dainty. I’ve learned this week that I tend to take photos of strong, resilient subjects. There aren’t many dainty, fragile items in my life. From the decorations in my home, to the jewelry I (sometimes) wear, down to the type of flower I am … Read More
So I had a breakdown the other day, certain I was rejected by God himself. Yes. It was a pity party. So I took my coffee outside and cried but you couldn’t really tell because it was raining so hard it all just blended together. Terrible things ran through my mind, thoughts that shouldn’t be running around in there. Trying … Read More
Doubt: to lack confidence in, distrust, to consider unlikely. If we’re talking about doubting God–it hasn’t happened in quite a long time. But if you want to get into doubting people (and really, you don’t) then the answer is yes. I doubt. I’ve been burned, it seems, at an average of about once a year. Always by someone I trusted … Read More
Faith is the reality of what is hoped for, proof of what is not seen. And what is not seen by mere human eyes is known by God. Last week, just two weeks after mom died, a “friend’s” actions through me into a tailspin. That tailspin that killed Goose (Top Gun) Remember that scene? Yeah. All kinds of bad. My … Read More
The challenge word issued last week is: BITTER. I first wanted to take a photo (somehow) of my feelings of bitterness towards the church (in general) for being so legalistic. But the more I thought about it, the deeper I dug a hole. If I take a picture of a church building, that’s just a building. It has nothing to … Read More
The challenge word issued last week is: ACCOMPLISHED. I think this week’s word (ironic as it may seem) will go a long way to explain my complete lack of posting last week. Though, I don’t believe in irony. So really, what happened and when it happened and how it coincided with my life is nothing short of amazing. Last week, … Read More
The challenge word issued last week is: ADORABLE. It’s my birthday and I can cheat if I want to. At least that’s the story I’m sticking with this week. Because I really did have other plans for the word adorable. But then I walked by Zane’s room today while he was doing school and I saw this: And that, my … Read More
The challenge word issued last week that is “due” today is: FRAZZLED. We went to an antique store yesterday–a very strange one, I might add. There were lots of ceramic fat monks holding their bellies, very creepy clowns, even creepier dolls, and Santa Claus dolls and statues everywhere. I couldn’t resist taking some pictures of the strangest of the strange … Read More
The challenge word issued last week that is “due” today is: ANGRY. I’m really displeased with myself making these challenges way too…ugh…challenging! I was sick again this week, not as bad as last, but still sick. I did get out a bit, but nothing struck me as angry. I almost gave up and told you this whole Popinjay thing is … Read More
