Job 23:8-10

Behold, I go forward but He is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.

But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as Gold.

Portland, ME

On the way...

Both of these really represent Portland (when it's not raining it stunning and beautiful, and also a comfy feel when it's raining.)
Some sick graffiti... 
Friends: Mandy & Halie....
Beautiful Old Buildings...
A walk about the Harbor...

A street of my own...

A most delicious restaurant, with cheeses from all over the world...(and not just our company.)
B & W...
Guinness Floats?

Somedays

Or even moments in a day I feel as though I fail in life. Especially in the area of leading a Spirit lead life. Wishing I had more of a desire to spend time and adoration to the Love that gave everything to be with me. I know that I devote time to worthless things. Things with no eternal value, but they are easy to come by and therefore I am consumed in passing the moments in oblivion.  And I admit that these things can be very enjoyable, but I am astutely aware that I am wanting to pass the time so that I will be closer to the time that I can be face to face with my Creator, but to spend quality time alone with this Being sounds like a bore.  It is a raging paradox I know, but I cannot escape how I feel and often don't change my actions, therefore leaving me feeling like the top of this paragraph.

Alas at the core of me I find deep comfort, in that, as much as I loathe the way I act, I know that I am God's.  He doesn't hold it against me.  He only wants to Love me and remind me how precious I am to Him. I have this image of a Father holding a child after an exhausting day.  As a kid that was the most comforting place for me....in my Dad's lap.  It was not a moment for condemn, but for tender words and forgiveness.  How can this be?  I am out of words when God says, I loved you first and nothing is going to change that....."God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him." (the message Rom. 5:8) This blows me away.
"The value of the Possession is seen in the intensity of the pursuit."
I would hope to change my intensity of His pursuit. To hopefully portray how highly I value His Love.

Mystery a Mysterious

This looks like a Fashion Spread but it was in real life. Loves it.

My Ma.

Happy Mother's Day to quite an incredible woman.  I really realize more and more the qualities (both good and not so good) that I have inherited from her. I am honored to have her as my own. Plus she is a babe.
I love you Mom.
