I have been challenged to make better use of my time and I find that blogging takes a lot of time and time is precious. Time is something I used to have in abundance and now time seems to be a valuable commodity in my life.
Blogging, as much as I love it, is sitting idle because I am, like I said, trying to make better use of my personal time.
And it's OK with me that my blog is idle.
I think.
I love writing, I love sharing pictures, I love recapturing life as it fleets and floats away. It's funny as I write all of this because yesterday it seemed as though I had absolutely nothing to do. I fretted about it and as I was fretting, I looked over at my camera, which has been sitting idle as well, and I felt reminded that photography is something I love, something that God has decided to enable me to be somewhat good at. Why not use my time to get out, enjoy the delicious fall afternoon with its warm, autumnal light and take a few pictures!?
We spent an hour together in the rolling hills behind my house. And it was such fun.
Recreation that stimulates my interests and which allows me to exercise the talents with which God gives can be nothing except worship when done with the right heart. I'm thankful that God has given me the means to (somewhat) understand light and reflection, capturing it through a lens and manipulating it to be even better in the end. It's invigorating. Truly.
What have you done for recreation to exercise the talents God has given to you?

I'm so glad you were able to spend some time with your camera. :-)
My cross stitch project (you know, the one I started five years ago...) finally made it out of the closet and has some new stitches. That has been a nice recreation for me over the past 4 days or so.
Love you, sis.
