Part of our VBS this year at Mt. Zion was to help the children see what God is doing all around us… God Sightings.  It could be the beautiful sunset you see on the way home from work or the butterfly in your yard or even the nice way your kids were playing together today…  God is everywhere.  Sometimes we just get too busy and don’t see Him.  I noticed after I put out the fresh flowers (that Savannah got for her play) that I felt peaceful… a sense of calm.  They are just one of my God Sightings this week.  When I really think of nature and how awesome it is, I know that it can only come from God.

I want to share with your our Sunday School lesson (scripture) from last night…

Exodus 33:18-23 Then Moses said, “Please, let me see your glory.”  He said, I will cause all My goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim the name Yahweh before you.  I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”  But He answered, “You cannot see My face, for no one can see Me and live.”  The Lord said, “here is a place near Me.  You are to stand on the rock, and when My glory passses by, I will put you in the crevice of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.  Then I will take My hand away, and you will see My back, but My face will not be seen.”

Though we don’t see his face, God is there… we just have to look for Him.   What are your God Sightings for today?

Well… at least it’s clean!  Yes, I procrastinate. 

I decided to take Sadie out for a mini session.  I buckled her into her carseat and drove the block to main street!    As we got out, I started to think that I must really be crazy… just Sadie, me and the camera!  And she ran wild and laughed and laughed!  She thought it was hilarious to run down main street and I ended up with a few shots that I loved…

Yes, I know I’ve said it before.  And really, this post is as much a reminder for me as it is for you.  I’ve been going through an old external harddrive and I found lots of pictures from when Shane and I first met, but it’s been a while since we took a picture together.  I also stumbled across this picture of Daddy & Alex (with Momma in the background).  I’m sure it is one that Alex will cherish.  (I know that I do.)  He doesn’t go more than a few days without asking me questions about Papaw.   And these pictures and these memories… what a blessing they are!  We aren’t promised a long life… and when you lose a loved one, that fact really hits close to home. 

Cherish your family… makes lots of memories and take lots of pictures!
