“Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.” —Imogen Cunningham
A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord directs his steps and establishes them.
Proverbs 16:9 AMP
Back in the 1990s as a kid, ringing in the new year meant changing the date written in the top right corner of school assignments. Now deep into the 21st century, the world has changed in countless ways, but one anchor holds firm. God’s Word endures as that unchanging truth, no matter the future or man’s plans for it.
Commit your works to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him], And your plans will succeed [if you respond to His will and guidance].
Proverbs 16:3 AMP

You will show me the path of life;
Psalm 16:11 NKJV
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?
Romans 8:32 AMP

We will tell the next generation
the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
his power,
and the wonders he has done.
Psalm 78:4 NIV

Who, being in very nature God,
Philippians 2:6-8 NIV
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!

For by grace you have been saved through faith.
And this is not your own doing;
it is the gift of God.
Ephesians 2:8 ESV
After over a year of staying home and following regulations, we finally had the chance to take a family vacation. I wanted to start by sharing two of my favorite photos from the trip, taken on a cool morning while watching the sunrise.


I’ve been working on this post for a bit now when I read this weeks photography challenge at the Digital Photography School, all about photographing silhouettes. So, feeling inspired I took the one of the robin and added it to my collection before I posted this. I love the simplicity of silhouettes, don’t you?
