Perspective: the art of drawing solid objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point; particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view; true understanding of the relative importance of things; a sense of proportion.

I named this blog Perspectives, because I think it might just be what God is growing in me. Slowly but surely, giving me a correct understanding of myself, and by His sweet grace, shifting my perspective away from the slavery of self onto the beauty of Jesus. I hope to have a “true understanding of the relative importance of things”—a right perspective...to find that place of freedom. These posts will hopefully all point back to gaining a truer and better perspective.

going walkabout


my friend sammy and i went walkabout at Duke Gardens today. a last minute decision i couldnt be more thankful for. aside from wonderful time with a friend and easy conversation, a photo album was the result. i put it on facebook since i have no clue yet how to post that many pictures to a blog. it is meant to explore the different perspectives taken on the most ordinary things that we see daily in nature. things we have become accustomed to. things we forget to relish in the beauty of. i dont think that i am very good at photography, but i do enjoy it. if you wish to see more of the photos, i put an album up on facebook called "Perspectives."

but more than anything, i think it's about a perspective change God is doing in me. a freedom to explore. a getting outside of my comfort zone. a willingness to try something and have people hate it (like this blog, for instance). i hope that a photo or two will lead you to worship God and His incredible creation...how involved He is in the minute details, the rings on an oak and the grandeur of its branches. perhaps it's simply an exercise for me alone. a practice of a changed perspective.

there are a whole lot of pictures of trees...but i pray that i never get tired of capturing the grandeur and glory that God intended when He breathed the trees into being.
