Sunday in Pictures...Well, Mostly...

I love adventures, and truth be told, I wake up every day with my eyes wide open to adventure.... even in the mundane.  Today was no different. After a wonderful message from my pastor, I headed out....seeking today's adventure with the One whom my heart beats after.

Come along...even after the fact!

Local library's foyer.

A little afternoon snack.

NC Museum of Art

"You Are Here" exhibit.

Outside, after the exhibit.
My two eldest on an artistic seesaw...
perfectly balanced.

Intentionally knocked off balance.

Fun times with family and friend.

Be still my tummy's heart....
wild caught sea scallops.

Stirring movie.

Powerful song from the soundtrack:





Lyrics from the song:

I am not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one'll love you as you are

But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades and
Reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that's what we've become (yeah, that's what we've become)

I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me.

So I ask you tonight..... where are YOU?
Hiding perhaps?  Or are you the one firing bullets?

It's vital you have the courage to stop and assess.... 

......where are YOU?

.....because until you do.... you will go NO further.....

Courage up, dear ones!

A brand new week has begun!

Where are you now?

And where will you end this week?

Dare to envision!
Be bold in your faith!

I'm off to get the balance of my walking steps
 in today before the sun sets!
What a GRAND day this has been with my Beloved!

I pray you can say the same!
If not, what can you do today...

right in this moment,
 to set your intention FORWARD with Him?

Dare to ponder in His presence!

It'll change you!

Change is GOOD!
