Dear People of the Earth

For I know what I have planned for you says the Lord. I have plans to prosper you not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope. Jer 29:11

Invisible

Even when I’m walking on barb wire
Even when I set myself on fire
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Everyday I try to lock my past
Even though inside I’m such a mess
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
-Skyler Grey

Who is the girl standing in front of you? She is like a mirror. She tries to do the things you do, but like a mirror, it deceives you. Nothing will make you accept her. She will always be the unusual wallflower.

You make her hide for who she really is. You judge her to quickly, put her down, and ignore her.

Can we all just jump onto the wings of time? Go back and try again? Do things different?
Perhaps if she was different, more like you, would you accept her?

A Young Woman and her Camera

When she looks into the lense of her camera, there is a whole other world to see. No not like unicorns or some other mystical creature, its still the backyard she grew up with. Eighteen years that backyard stayed the same, no grass, bunch of wood chips, pine straw, pine cones…a few flowers here and there (which were mostly weeds).But that one camera changed the world for her…….it opened her eyes to the beauty that her Mighty God had created. Every season she goes into her backyard and takes pictures of something that amazes her.

To most people a yellow flower is a yellow flower. To the young woman, the yellow flower is the creation of the God who made the bright yellow sun, that produced this beautiful living blossom.

The young woman has the ability to see beauty for what it is, or even for WHO a person is on the inside.

Beauty through the eye
