My daughter has not yet been released to drive, but she has returned to class. Lillee and I waited in the car and made the hour and a half go by faster by playing with the camera and meditating on the Word.
The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. ~Psalm 103:19
For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined. ~Isaiah 60:12
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does. ~Psalm 145:13
Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. ~Mark 10:15
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. ~Ecclesiastes 3:1
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. ~Galatians 6:9
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
~Matthew 5:14
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weary.
~Isaiah 40:29
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. ~1 Corinthians 13:12
You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. ~Psalm 139:5
Whether you turn to the right or the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” ~Isaiah 30:21
Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I’m about; see for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong–then guide me on the road to eternal life.
~Psalm 139:23 (Message)
Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am.”
~Matthew 16:24 (Message)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ~Philippians 4:6
Oh yes, you shaped me first inside; then out;
you formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank you High God–you’re breathtaking!
I worship in adoration–what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book. you watched me grow
from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I’d even lived one day. ~Psalm 139:13-16
Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. ~Proverbs 4:26
i enjoyed this.
Thanks, Nancy!
Beautiful….
Thanks so much, Natasa.
Wonderful! What a great wait!
Lillee is fun to wait with.
Aren’t baby feet irresistible?
Isn’t God’s Word irreplacable?
Irrefutable!
Isaiah 60:12 is a very sobering thought …
Your photos illustrate the verses well.
Yes. Worth some thought.
Thanks, Susan.
Judging from the bare foot, it must have been a LOT warmer there than it was here!
My car has a heater. 😉
It looks like Lillee thinks she is about ready for her drivers license! Time passes so quickly it won’t be that long before she really is driving! Isaiah 60:12 is thought provoking as I think about what is happening in the Middle East this week. And then I wonder, what does God think about us? How much is our nation honoring God?
Gracee is halfway to driving age. Which will place me a year shy of 70!! That. Is. Scary.
And yes. In the chaos, it’s good to remember that God is in control. Our nation will only change one heart at a time.
When I saw her in the rearview, I thought she looked like she was driving. Then I saw the next one with the steering wheel.
My, these kids grow up fast. And I thought letting our South Dakota kids drive at 14 was ridiculous…
Wonderful photos, Sandy. Compelling reminders in the words.
Thanks, Lyla.
Do all SD kids drive at 14, or just the country kids? My husband had some kind of license at that age, I think, because he was a farmer boy.
