Take a look at this picture. Really look at it. Some may be drawn to the headphones if they value music like I do. Others may notice how "scantally clad" I am and wonder if I have any dignity. While others still may see the portrait as an artistic expression of the freedom music brings me. You want to know what I see...knowing the back story??
I see a girl on lockdown in her home, wanting to feel special for her birthday. I see a creative person who used the little she had...a timer on a cell phone, a zip lock bag, some old crinoline and self-done makeup, to create a visual that she saw in her mind. I see me...just me. I see how I felt in that moment. I see the chair I laid under to capture this shot because I didnt have a tripod at the time. I see a girl who was so afraid of the newness of life that she almost allowed it to forget all God's provision, protection and prepartion. In this single image, I see a world of change and grace!
IT'S ALL ABOUT PERSPECTIVE! When you think about it, there are so many things and circumstances in your life that may not fit your vision or cause you to shout in excitement or gratefulness. However, the truth is, every thing in your life has the opportunity to help you grow up, grow through or group out of something! Yes you may be in a "zip lock bag photo studio" now but as you grow and are ready God has the plan for your life that will prepare you for the best of all time! Take time today to look at things more closely. Use your faith filled imagination to see where you can be grateful!
Love yall.
Whitney
