From Fields to Concrete

Photo taken in Crawford, GA

I used to live in these fields - among the wildflowers and butterflies. Everything is so beautiful; the sun, the river, the sun kissed stones. I’m a young, innocent girl when I’m here. Dancing in my bare feet, spinning to my own music, I am the happiest person alive.
But I cannot stay like before. I can’t spend my hours singing with the birds and swimming in the river. I’ve been sent to the city. Buildings block the sky and the sound of birdsong is suppressed by wailing and noise. But I remember. I remember the feeling of the sun on my back, the brook racing over my feet. I may have been sent to this noisy, suffocating place, but I will forever long for my fields.

- the fields represent the closeness and peace Christians have with God. But He sends us into the world to serve and bring Him glory. The world leaves much to be desired when compared to those original ‘fields’, but sometimes we can forget. We can forget the peace, love and joy we feel with Him....

ALIVE Angels

I recently attended a youth camp for the Sovereign Grace Teens. It was an amazing time. Not only was I able to form new friendships, strengthen old friendships and play some awesome games, but I was also able to witness the amazing works of my God. This came to me on our last night of worship.....

Surrounding this place are angels - each unique, and each steadily watching their own charge. They’re silent and unmoving, But as their ‘charge’ lets go of themselves and reaches for God, I see them raise their hands with fervor and sing along in praise to The King. Our voices meld to one song -  one of love, faith and awe. We sing with the Angels, for the purest praise comes not from the songs, or our voices - but from the heart.
GOD IS IN THIS PLACE AND IS LISTENING WITH JOY

No other Name
JESUS”  ♪♫
