After my one class yesterday, I decided to go to the lake for some rest and some God-time. Last semester, the lake helped me when I was paranoid and psychotic. It helped me get through some of the most difficult moments by bringing peace and calm into my chaos.
So I am going to share some photos I took so you can join me in my adventure to the lake.
The first creature I came across was a soft-shelled turtle. It kind of hid when it saw me and soon after this photo it went into the water.
This is one of my favorite shots I have ever taken. You see the close up of the green leaf, but in the background, you see the bridge in the distance. To me, it's supposed to represent that the future is not always clear, but you know that God has your path all planned out, if you trust Him.
Here's another foreground/background shot. I like taking these kind of shots because it represents the chaos in the present and the beauty of the future beyond the present and the past. I know that God has great plans and that no matter how chaotic the present is or the past was, He will be there every step of the way.
This has to be one of the coolest things that has ever happened at the lake. I walked across the bridge pictured above and on the side, there was a stream with all of these little fish. I stood on the bridge and they all oriented themselves towards me. I moved to the right of the bridge and they all moved to reorient themselves and they just stayed there.
In that awesome instance, I was reminded that no matter what comes our way, we have to orient ourselves to the love of God. We have to count our blessings and move forward, keeping our eyes on God.
This last shot is a simple shot of the lake. I wanted to take this because it was absolutely gorgeous. The beauty of the lake never disappoints me. I always learn more about God and feel closer to Him when I go, through the lake and its creatures.
