The Great Awakening was the name given to a giant religious revival in the 1600s. While you may not be looking to be awakened in that sense, I do hope I can awaken you to different things I find inspiring, or just what's on my mind on a certain day.

All Around
This past weekend, I was standing in the middle of a farm field. An oat field, to be exact. I've always wanted to walk through a field like that. I had my camera with me, and everywhere I looked I saw something that I wanted to photograph. The sky was clear, the weather was warm, the leaves were gleaming. It was then that I realized something. You can find God anywhere. I saw him in the sun that lit up the trees. In the green oat stalks that danced in the soft wind. The beautiful painted draft horses in the pasture. It was like God was saying, "Look, I put this here for you. Isn't it lovely? I made it with you in mind." In that moment, I felt so close to him. I knew more than ever that there was a reason why I like photography so much. God showed me it's what I'm meant to do. The peace and quiet of that moment touched my deeply. I love being outside. It's where I get the most inspiration. God's creation continues to blow me away. I think I'll end my entry with that. I hope you can take something from it like I did.
