The biggest difference between us and God is God is infinite and we are not.  And yet, it’s hard for us to acknowledge our human limitations, especially with regards to time.  As a mom, it’s hard to escape the feeling that I should be doing MORE.  I should be spending quality time with my kids AND putting fresh meals on the table AND keeping the house decorated well AND fully cleaned AND bringing in money to contribute to the family AND attending all kids’ activities AND…..well you get the idea.  But I have to remember that I cannot do all this and do it well.  When I trick myself into thinking I CAN do all these things I am telling myself I don’t have finite limits; basically telling myself I should be in God’s place.  That’s not my role, that’s not part of my job description, and ultimately that’s tearing me away from where I am called to be.  So today remind yourself that you CANNOT do it all.  And give some grace to your neighbor, your friend, your sisters, who also cannot do it all. Does it ever bother you that social media is all about who can talk the loudest? Do you ever want to just be a little quieter in your life? Do you ever debate quitting social media to get out of the avatar life? Things I’m pondering. Not rhetorical-I actually care to hear your thoughts on this. August’s entry for my One Roll, One Kid Project is up on the journal! (Link in profile). This month I talk about what it means to dig deep for creativity; sometimes powering through the monotony is just the teacher I need. Minnesota truly has like a bajillion lakes but a few of them are my own particular favorite. I’m convinced that sunset at Lake Harriet is especially magical. Give me sailboats and water that reflects clouds like a skilled impressionist painter forever. // . . . .

You’re welcome 😉 The theme over at @epicfilmproject is “Water” and oh boy I love this theme. Being in the Land Of 10,000 Lakes presents many opportunities for water shots, but my faves tend to be the less obvious. So give me all the puddles, sprinklers, and rain and be sure to tag your film photo with #epicfilmproject; I’m hosting for a while and would love to feature you! August, you always sneak up on me and you’re always busier than I plan. It’s been a month of camping in the Boundary Waters and then along the Mississippi and next an anniversary getaway, all while prepping to start school in just a couple weeks. The busyness reminds me why photography is so important; it’s so easy to run from one activity to the next but developing and editing photos helps me linger in the moments that would be too easily forgotten. So here’s my moment of remembering for the day. And also, mentally prepping for next year’s trip up to the Boundary Waters.
