through.a.different.lens.

Don't mistake my joy now, for it was only obtained through enduring great trials with God. 

Please know that this blog is only my rantings, rantings about a greater being than I can ever amount to be.  This blog is an expression of God, simply through my thoughts and pictures.  Through the eyes of a different lens, if you will... If you are pleased with it, be assured it is not me, but God.   I hope that through these thoughts, if you are suffering, you can find peace and comfort in the promises of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  Learn and grow, be transformed, through my pain and suffering.

..to keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.  Three times I pleaded with the lord to take it away from me.  But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.  That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.  For when I am weak, then I am strong.  -2 Corinthians 12:7-10
