“Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.” —Imogen Cunningham
I wanted to share a few photos taken in my garden this summer. The flowers may seem ordinary, but when viewed up close, their intricate beauty inspires a sense of awe and gratitude to the One who gave us such simple things to enjoy.
At a time when everything seems more complicated than ever and on the verge of falling apart, it is simply the real Truth that brings me back to the peace I’m seeking.
Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
John 14:6 AMP

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence or anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Philippians 4:7-9 NASB

Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always].
Colossians 3:15 AMP

Then Jesus said, Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 NLT

I am leaving you with a gift–peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
John 14:27 NLT

You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call on you.
Psalm 86:5 NLT




…Like the rose that comes alive every spring,
You are so faithful. Lord, You are faithful…

…I see the cross and the price You had to pay,
I see the blood that washed my sins away.
In the midst of the storm,
Through the wind and the waves,
You’ll still be faithful, You’ll still be faithful,
When the stars refuse to shine and time is no more,
You’ll still be faithful,
You’ll still be faithful, Lord.
