Romans 1:20

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power & divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

How can anyone look at this awesome creation & think "There is no God!"

Brings to mind so many quotes from C.S. Lewis

"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."

"Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that is has no meaning..."

"We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God."

C.S. Lewis is sooo correct in these quotes. Man can deny it all they want, but the truth & reality is that God made this earth & He called it good. His creation shouts His presence, & if you don't see that, pray & ask God to take off that blindfold that the devil has so cleverly placed over your eyes because His creation is absolutely astounding!

Psalm 1:2
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, & in His law he meditates day & night.
Praise the Lord for His law & love. We delight in the Lord because He's awesome!

ps: sorry I haven't had a photo-a-day post in like a week, I promise to get more consistent with it.

BLUE EYES!!!

18 years old

So my friend Glory's 18th birthday was yesterday & in order to pull off the semi-surprise birthday party that her sister had planned for her, I "kidnapped" her for an hour to take her pictures! This was so spontaneous & such a blast! This sweet loving girl is so precious to my heart & has blessed me in ways she will never know!

Hope you all enjoy these! Let me know which ones are your favorite!

Psalm 31:30

Charm is deceitful & beauty if fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

I am obsessed with this picture but I'm not sure why! You are incredibly beautiful miss Glory!

Accidental flash on this one but turned out to be one of my favorites :]

Laughter is sweet medicine for the heart!

Beautiful!

1 Corinthians 9:24

"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win."

"Hey bubby, I need your help!" I told my little brother earlier this afternoon. "Ok!" He responded. He's so cute!

We went outside & I wasn't really sure what I was going to do to get a picture today. Then looking down the road I told Elias [my little brother] "Go stand over there & when I say 'go,' run towards me as fast as you can!" He willingly did so & I captured this awesome moment, which led to this verse that came to mind.

These words are so empowering, it's like Paul is saying, "Just when you almost give up, push harder!" Keep going, never give up!

God is our cheerleader & teammate at the same time. He cheers for us as we go through life, encouraging us & telling us to never give up & to push harder! Then just when we think we can't win, God comes beside us, as our teammate, grabs our hand & says, "I am with you, keep going, you can do it for I am here."

I hope this encourages you all as finals come up, the spring semester comes to a close, & life begins a new chapter that God is with you & he is constantly encouraging you to strive for the best, to keep going, to win the race!

"By perseverance the snail reached the ark." - Charles Spurgeon

Psalm 23:2

He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.

Ok so just let that sink in. Through this verse God has reminded me of the rest that He gives. Honestly, I didn't really know what I was going to post because I'm so exhausted from the awesome retreat this weekend that I didn't come up with anything. But then I looked at the picture again & remembered this verse & what it meant. God is so good to grant rest! I love how the psalmist says "He makes me lie down in green pastures" meaning that God grants us rest even when we think we don't need it, oh but we do need it, more than we ever admit. Thanking God for the rest that He gives & definitely planning to just go rest in a field or something this week.

God bless you all!

John 7:38

"He who believes in Me, as the scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'"

Jesus Christ = Full Satisfaction.

It's been an interesting week, God has shown me some wonderful things. This week at Breakaway, Ben Stuart was talking about Jesus being the fount of living water & that we find full satisfaction in Him alone [which is totally awesome in my opinion]. After Breakaway, my friends & I decided that while we were waiting for the traffic to clear, we would go "fountain-hopping" on campus [yet another totally awesome thing!]. Walking up to the fountain, all of Ben's words about Christ being our full satisfaction & THE fount of living water came back into my mind. It was such a calming moment for me to remember that Christ is the only one that will ever be able to satisfy me, & then the realization of all the He has blessed me with came to remembrance as well. What a great God we serve!!!

Hope y'all enjoy this picture!
