Week 32/52 - Getting Into You

I'm getting into you 
because you got to me, in a way words can't describe
I'm getting into you 
because I've got to be
Your essential to survive
I'm going to love you with my life

I've been a liar and I'll never amount to
the kind of person you deserve to worship you
You say you will not dwell on what I did but rather what I do you say
I love you and that's what you are getting yourself into

This song.  I stumbled upon it this morning - it's been a long time since I heard it.  It speaks for itself, and if I tried to explain it I would just be repeating the lyrics.  But as I was sitting in the coffee shop with sunshine streaming in through the windows thinking about how scary it is to step out in faith, how unworthy I am of any of His love and protection and I heard "I LOVE YOU and THAT'S what you're getting yourself into," all the doubts and fears were washed away.  I was overwhelmed by how big and forgiving and constant His love for me really is.  

This picture.  Is from a year ago almost exactly.  In the middle of Alaska winter I would get an urge to shoot, an idea, or the snow would be perfect and I would just get in the car and drive somewhere.  I had the time, was on my own schedule and was undeterred by the cold. Oh, those were the days.  I can look back a year on this blog and find another photo that I posted from this shoot - and I can remember wanting the time to slow down so I didn't have to grow up anymore.  But time didn't stop moving on, and neither did I. 

 Oh how grateful I am for photos and the seemingly uneventful memories they can bring back.  

I guess today was a day to ramble on a bit.
