I have recently been reminded by God of a story that my parents used to tell me when I was little. I was terribly afraid of storms. They told me that a storm was God cleaning house. His floors were just a little leaky and all that thunder was just furniture moving. Just the other day, when someone I love was going through her own storm and I had one a brewing at the same time, He reminded me of that story. I realized He was cleaning my heart. Washing it and scrubbing it clean, moving the furniture around. Taking out the broken pieces, putting in the new. God's beauty is all around us, none can deny the awesomeness of the Creator. He made me, beautifully and wonderfully. I am really starting to believe that. That wholeness and healing is coming, but occasionally - it storms through it. I found this verse in my storm, I'd like to share it. I am using the New Message Bible. IS 55:12-13 "So you'll go out in joy, you'll be led into a whole and complete life. The mountains and hills will lead the parade, bursting with song. All the trees of the forest will join the procession, exuberant with applause. No more thistles, but gian Sequoias, no more thornbushes, but stately pines -- Monuments to me, to God, and lasting evidence of God." That is what your picture on that log reminds me of. You are indeed a giant sequoia, a stately pine, a living monument and the lasting evidence of God. Changing lives one person at a time through this site. May God bless the richness of your healing and wholeness! May He continue to complete mine! Love this blog Anita!

And you are right about how important it is to see the big picture--the last one needs a frame and a special place. Thanks for the inspiration. What absolutely beautiful pictures.
