WPC: Favorite Place

Posted on by under Photography

This week The Daily Post has asked us to share pictures of our FAVORITE PLACES.

I thought this would be an easy one but oh my! Not so much. I love so many places for different reasons.

I think aside from my office my prayer room is the place where I spend the most time. It’s a place of reflection and divine connection, a place of vision and centering.

But I also love to travel and see things.

Disney is a favorite place to go and be pampered.

Koog Zaandyke

I love the antiquated beauty of The Netherlands.

The mountains stand as ancient testimony that the kingdom of God will outlast the kingdoms of men
Dirt road in the Maum Turk Mountains
Driveway to the new castle

I love the wild loneliness of Ireland.

I have so many places that are favorites for different reasons, but there is one place I have not yet been that I just know will surpass them all.

It has been a wonderful and long week. God has been good and I am tired, but oh so glad to be sharing my world again. SHARE YOUR WORLD   is a weekly challenge hosted by Cee of Cee’s Photography. By answering her weekly questions a whole bunch of us bloggers share our worlds.

When you have finished reading my responses to Cee’s questions click the underlined link above and see how others have shared their worlds.

What is your earliest memory?

My earliest memory is a very vivid recurring nightmare I had  when I was about three or four. We were living in a grey Victorian home that had been converted into a duplex. The house was built into a very steep hillside and I can remember that the house had terraces that were covered with tiger lilies.

Anyway many nights my parents would put me to bed and I would “dream” that a ghost with a big nose wearing a Hawaiian shirt would come through the wall and sit upon me crushing the air out of my lungs.

To this day the house still creeps me out when I drive by it.

Which way does the toilet paper roll go? Over or under? 

Sideways.

What makes you feel grounded?

Praying to Jesus.

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.

Having some good laughs with my best friend Jody and with my new friend Pastor Dan.

Let not those who seek You be confounded because of me, O God of Israel.
7 Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;
Shame has covered my face.
8 I have become a stranger to my brothers,
And an alien to my mother’s children;
9 Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up,
And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me. Psalm 69:6-9

Describe “Zeal” for God’s house?

This week we have been asked to SHOW EVERYONE WHAT WE WOULD RATHER BE DOING.

I love what I am doing right now…writing, and I do wish I could do more of it. That said I am not a very exciting person. I actually love to just sit and watch the world go by or pray through as it does. Here are some shots of where I would love to do that.

I could just sit and listen to the water fall for hours.

The quiet of a lake is an enticing place to pray, to write or to read.
