The Details.

So for Christmas Wes got me Finney! An adorable cockatiel. It is so sweet to come home every day and hear a sweet little tweet that sounds a lot like my "hi". Finney's head looks like a sunset and the rest of his body is the perfect balance of grey and white. He is like a tiny package of incredible detail - it amazes me the detail that God put into everything.  Growing up my mom always told me to look at my tear duct in my eye to see the details of the human body. It really is amazing. Looking at my tiny little bird alone is so inspiring to me. The details really count.

It seems like when I miss the details I miss out on something big. Whenever life seems fast paced and blurry there is a spark that gets dull, fast. My prayer, and my encouragement is that we would all notice the details, because it does go by so fast. It seems like just yesterday I was walking around our house in Alabama with Buddy on my head (my bird from middle school), or I was changing Will's diaper (my brother that is now 17 yrs. old and a senior in highschool). So the goal is to cherish the details - look for the creator's touches. I think He did it so we would delight in it - so lets delight in his design.

Find details about you that you love - after all you were designed by the creator of the universe! If you critic the design you are critiquing the designer...consider this before you complain about your body, or hair, or eye color...etc. Not to be cliche or cheesy, but you are a detailed, unique design and He put a lot of thought into you.


"Psalm 139:13 - For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb."

Here are a few pictures of "the details" that I have collected from traveling/ just everyday life:

This is a flower from Uganda, Africa - its amazing... its glowing. I love the dark center that holds it together.
