Evening....The Wrapping Up of Another Gift

After our "MORNING" prompt came the "EVENING" prompt for pairing Scripture with a Snapshot. This is the verse that spoke to my heart.

Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense. As incense is carefully prepared, kindled with holy fire, and devoutly presented unto God, so let my prayer be. ... And the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Prayer is sometimes presented without words by the very motions of our bodies: bent knees and lifted hands are the tokens of earnest, expectant prayer. Lord, hear my prayers for my family.

How Do You Start Your Mornings?

Scripture and a Snapshot theme for this, week #3, MORNING.

Starting my day hearing from God's word just seems to keep him close all day. Show me the way Lord. For my life is in Your hands.

Couldn't decide between Black & White or Color. So, did both.

We'd love to hear how you start your mornings and/or hear from God.

Scripture and a Snapshot

Well Hello! 

How is your 2016 kicking off? Are you keeping your resolutions? Has God given you a word for the year? Are you stretching yourself to try something new? I hope that you are finding joy, peace, comfort and fulfillment as you seek the One who has called you by name and will challenge you to keep you close. 

Tonia and I are venturing into some new challenges and adventures. I have started one that I'd like to share with you here. 

Years ago, as I began my photography, there was a group that challenged me to create a photograph each week with a scripture verse that was based on a theme. It was a wonderful way to blend my new found passion of photography and keep me searching and applying more of God's word. The group is no longer active so, I have started the group up on my own and have a faithful friend who has accepted the challenge with me. If any of you would like to join you are more than welcome, I encourage you in fact. Our group is based over at Flickr.  It's not too late. As long as you are breathing, it's never too late. 

Week #1 the challenge was to introduce yourself with a self-portrait and your life verse or a verse you have chosen for the year as your verse. 

Colossians 3:12

This is such a reflective time of year for me. Counting my blessings and looking forward to what God has in His plan for me in the coming year. I want to live loved and keep my heart always seeking Him with kindness, humility, meekness and patience for those around me. Lord, hear my prayer. 2016 here we come!!!

Week #2 God's Creation:

The spirit of God hovers over us as well. Ready and eager to breathe his wisdom, life and creative gifts into our willingness. Lord, find me willing and Spirit of God, INVADE me!

Week 3 begins tomorrow and the theme is "Morning". If you are a photographer or know of any photographers, looking for a fun challenge, send them over. We'd love to welcome them and share more of what God is revealing through the gifts He so freely gives.

Seeking, always seeking,

Sharon
