"There is a God, and he hath created all things, both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are" (2 Nephi 2:14).  That is my testimony.  That is the reason I take pictures.  Taking pictures helps me find ways to see and remember that there is a God and that I am a daughter of God.  Taking pictures helps me to see all the ways that He shows me His love for me that I might not notice if I were just going about my day to day routine.  I know we can see the love He has for each of us if will take the time too look a little each day.  Take time to "Be still and know that {he} is God" (Psalms 46:10).  The evidence is all around us.

I love the lyrics to this song:

Try and put your arms around the 100 yr old tree
Climb upon a horse and let him run full speed

Take a look out at the world from 30,000 feet
On your next flight

Watch a flock of birds against the morning sun
Close your eyes and listen to the river run

Catch a firefly in your hands 

Or a raindrop on your tongue

That's right

Plant a seed and see what comes out of the ground

Find the heartbeat on your baby's ultrasound

In a few years hear him laughing
And don't it sound like a song?

Stop and think about what you don't understand
Things about life and love and how the world began

Hear the doctor say he can't explain it
But the cancer is gone

Science says it's all just circumstance

Like this whole world's just an accident

But if you want to shoot that theory down

Look around, Just look around

There is a God

There is a God

There is a God

How much proof do you need?

Here's the "proof" I found today.....

It's Spring.  Messy?  Yes.  Beautiful?  Absolutely.

 Awake, my sons; put on the armor of righteousness...

...be men, and be determined in one mind and in one heart, united in all things...(2 Nephi 2:21,23)

*Don't mind the food...it was the only way I could keep her still for me. :)

In My Daughter's Eyes

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero

I am strong and wise and I know no fear

But the truth is plain to see

She was sent to rescue me

I see who I wanna be

In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal

Darkness turns to light and the

world is at peace

This miracle God gave to me gives me

strength when I am weak

I find reason to believe 

In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand

around my finger

Oh it puts a smile in my heart

Everything becomes a little clearer

I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart

has had enough

It's giving more when you feel like giving up

I've seen the light

It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future

A reflection of who I am and what will be

Though she'll grow and someday leave

Maybe raise a family

When I'm gone I hope you see how happy

she made me

For I'll be there

In my daughter's eyes 

Lyrics by James Slater and sung by Martina McBride

Chasing ants with those chubby hands and delayed reactions?  Why not give it a try?  You just might catch one!

“If you are helpless, he is not. If you are lost, he is not. If you don’t know what to do next, he knows. It would take a miracle, you say? Well, if it takes a miracle, why not?”

-Boyd K. Packer (quoted in Ensign May 2010)

Light, light, light...

"That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day." (D&C 50:24)
