Diamonds...

The soul is placed in the body like a rough diamond, and must be polished, or the luster of it will never appear. ~Daniel DeFoe~

today's song, almost home by craig morgan 4th clip

I was thinking about something last night. No matter how many trials we go through, the only real thing we have on earth is God. If I wouldn't have had God all these years I would have gave up.
I had a dream one night that I was with God in Heaven and we were watching a little girl who was crying. The little girl was me. I said, "God please let me go comfort her and tell her it will be ok, and that she will make it through all the trials she will face." He said, " No little one, she will have people who will tell her this, and they may be few and far between but it will be enough encouragement for her to get through. And she will have angels watch over her."
So many times I think we forget about the big picture, myself included. We forget we are here on this earth to learn about God and that there is a Heaven waiting for us. Heaven will be so much better than this dump we call earth. All the trials we have been through will seem like nothing when we actually make it home.

When things are overwhelming for me I do give myself time to be sad , and I do cry . But then I think of the big picture.

The top right corner has a singer that is so amazing as well. If you have time listen , it might bless you a bunch...

For everyone who left a comment on last night's post thank you. Your thoughts mean alot to me. One of the reasons i don't smile much in my photos is when i take self portraits i am concentrating on the position of the camera and i just forget to smile. But i am actually a big cut up who smiles alot. I promise more photos with smiles. ^-^

Dream Catcher...

This is the shadow of my dream catcher... I love the way the sunrise is shinning through it.
