Change in perspective

The other day, as any gal with a handy dandy (but quite foreign to her) camera will do, I was fiddling around with different settings.

After taking countless pictures of my boys (another thing a gal with a handy dandy camera AND three incredibly cute sons is prone to do), I stood at the backyard gate and snapped a few shots between the slats of the fence.

As I moved the lens in different directions, it was amazing to see how a change in focus changed my perspective.

It reminded me of the way the Holy Spirit has worked in my heart and refined my outlook on life. Once I was so given to sin and selfishness.

ME! ME! ME!

All I could see was what was right in front of me. My perspective was just for the here and now... for the things of this world.

But then, after God gave me a new heart, my desire became for the Lord and His service.

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory." Colossians 3:1-3

Dirt

Slides, swings, and jungle gyms galore... but what is my little one fascinated with? Dirt!

Typical boy, right?

He did manage to tear his eyes away from the ground for a few seconds... to gaze at his gorgeous photographer, of course.

Wordless Wednesday: Deep in thought

My 2 year old, Joshua, should have been in bed. But he came out of his room to ask for a snack, just as I was playing with the monochrome setting on my camera.

He waited patiently while I snapped pictures.

I'm sure he was contemplating earning a cheesecake, or at least a few cookies, for sitting through this photo session.

Unfortunately for him, I just sent him back to bed with a hug and a kiss. And some great pictures.

Happy Wordless Wednesday All

Wordless Wednesday: Cheesecake

I know. I really shouldn't have. Bought an entire cheesecake, that is.

But I did.

And yes, it's what you think it is. The Cheesecake Factory at it's finest.

Beyond just the best cheesecake in the world, this pretty little cake is also a goal for the new year.

Not to eat one in it's entirety, however nice (and fattening!!) that would be,

But to make one. Make my own. Make the best knock off, would be, runner up, 30th Anniversary Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake known to man. Or at least known to my house. Because I'm sure it won't make it out the front door.

Yum yum.
