No matter where I am in the world- where I am in my life- I continue to be fascinated with how light and dark dance together. As I journey with Jesus through transitions and changes, I continue to be in wonder and awe of how I experience Christ’s presence in the shadows, the cracks, the hidden, silent places. As my faith deepens, it seems that God is not a God of only what is black and white and crystal clear; rather, God is fully alive in the places made of the energy of grey.
Here’s a collection of some of my photography from the times when I have been mesmerized with the glory of God in the silent spaces as I follow Jesus; the beauty of crossing shadows.
Sometimes, when such silent shadows stun me I remember this song, by Jars of Clay called “Fade to Grey.”
Gorgeous photos, friend!
I think the “Christ of Colors” is my favorite….
As someone living through an immensely grey period right now, submerged in the simultaneous blessings of birth and death, celebrating light whenever I am able, and allowing the grace of darkness to wash over me, I so appreciate your work here.
Well, you know, I ALWAYS appreciate your communication efforts here. 🙂
Blessings, Julia!
Peace,

Where is the “love it the mostest” button? Too awesome!
