Perspective

Recently in our family God has been doing things that have been stretching our perspective on many of the issues we face every day. We have been facing the questions "Do you trust God enough to quit your job?", "How big of a house do we NEED?", "What are the important things to be filling your day with?". In the spirit of new perspectives on life, our two year old son has taken up the hobby of photography. I am sure that at some point he will end up breaking our camera and I will ask myself why I ever let him use it in the first place, but until then I have enjoyed the pictures he brings back to me. He takes his time documenting the world he knows, and the images he brings back always seem to make me look at our house a little differently. Here is a collection of my favorite photos he has taken. All of these have been taken by our two year old son, on his own meandering, and who knows what the appature, F-Stop, and exposure are (for all you camera nerds). Enjoy!

Update

In the future I have intentions to update this blog more frequently than this, but the last month of our lives has been incredibly trying. We have experienced the ultimate in joy, grief, excitement, and frustration. However, in an attempt to get back to normal I thought I would give everyone an update on our move. In the past few weeks I have been granted a part time teaching position at University School Nashville and a research assistant position that starts this summer. God has been more than gracious in these two positions, as they will make the process much more comfortable (money to live off of, no tuition, opportunities to grow personally and professionally, etc.). Since I start work in June we will be moving as soon as the school year ends here. We are very excited, but also nervous about a big transition. Please be praying for the following if you have a chance:


We will find a place to live in Nashville that is good for us as a family
Jennifer and I will trust God to lead us instead of taking the reigns
We will trust God's timing in our house selling

Nashville, here we come!
