I'm trying to learn how to use the "macro" setting on my camera.

Hmmm…seems like my focus is a bit skewed,

Sorta like my internal focus sometimes…

Only seeing clearly the dried, dying, ugly parts of my life…

Somehow overlooking the new, vibrant bits of color that are popping up all over.

I need to appreciate the new growth, the new beauty…

Inspite of the barren background.

What are you focused on today?

Blessings to you,

Alesha

This week:

I worked with these lovely pieces for the Bead Soup Blog Party.

I chose some lovely gemstones for a custom piece of jewelry.

I spied this crimson-capped fella in my orange tree again.

I took out some of my frustrations by hammering on copper.

(It is very cathartic!)

I also spent much time in prayer for my precious friend Robin Boyle. Robin required an emergency c-section to deliver her 7th child, a baby boy named Mark Seth. She then needed 32 pints of blood, and is currently still in ICU, due to blood clots in both lungs and failing kidneys. If the Lord lays it on your heart, would you pray with me for Robin?

Thanks.

Then, on a much smaller scale, would you please pray for Isaac? He caught our caregiver's cold, and has developed quite a cough. Praise the Lord, he has only run fever one night, and we are praying that he stays stable and that the cough doesn't turn into pneumonia.

Blessings,

Alesha

We bought a new harness for Kepler. It has a lifetime guarantee of replacement, even if chewed up by the dog.

Well it's a good thing!

And, in totally unrelated Kepler news…

The "cone of shame" is not to keep her from chewing up her harness! She was spayed this week, and was sent home with this lovely ensemble. They said she has to wear it for 10 days. REALLY???
