Teach us to Seek You

O God, teach us to seek You, and reveal Yourself to us when we seek You, for we cannot seek You unless You first teach us, nor find You unless You first reveal Yourself to us. Let us seek You in longing and long for You in seeking. Let us find You in love, and love You in finding.

 ~Ambrose of Milan

Down By The Sea

The pulsing soundof moving sea;
The ocean surf-tranquility!
An ocean breeze-With sunset's glaze;
Seaoats in view-and ocean waves!
An endless flow-of sand and shells;
Ebbed back and forth-by ocean swells!
The flight of gulls-along the shore;
A fleeing sand crab-in sand to bore!
The seashore is special-a great place to be;
God's love abounds-down by the sea!

Sea creatures are awesome! I went to Ft. Fisher in NC and ended up at the aquarium. I touched the horseshoe crab and I took about 15 pictures to catch that rascally seahorse (man tho suckers are fast). The Jellyfish were neato and I was so surprised I actually got more than just a passing blur (yes I know, they are both a little blurry--sorry)

I edited this post because the poor quality picture were driving me nuts... the jellyfish can stay tho

A friend once told me that looking at my pictures gave him a better understanding of who I am. In reality it is not so much a reflection of who I am, but of all that God reveals to me.

As Christians we should constantly be awestruck by God’s creativity, by the beauty of this world, and by His willingness to share it with a people who do so much to ruin that beauty. We are undeserving and yet in spite of this He made and continues to make this earth we live on a breathtaking sight to behold.

Standing on the beach this summer, I took over 200 pictures. It was overwhelming… to capture the ocean on film is to see one tiny fraction of His greatness for a viewfinder can only hold so much of such a vast ocean and barely does justice to who God is.

How awesome is that spot? I'm sorry you weren't there to see it because honestly the picture doesn't do it justice!
